The Wandering Earth, the first blockbuster sci-fi film to be made in China, stood atop global box offices, grossing more than $385 million as of Tuesday and opening to packed cinemas, according to the movie's official Weibo account.

Director Guo Fan's futuristic feature film in 3D-IMAX and standard format has also been getting positive feedback from both critics and moviegoers.

In China, the movie earned $304 million in its first six days, with IMAX screens accounting for 12 percent of the film's total estimated gross revenue, Variety said. It opened domestically on Feb 5, Lunar New Year's Day, which marked the beginning of the weeklong holiday that is traditionally a peak box-office period in China.
