Wow, teaser is insane.. Can't wait to see this on IMAX.

they are faking box office in China (注水），how can 2 to 4 am screenings by 70% full on weekdays. And in HK many fake 5 star reviews on HKmovie6 and Wmoov; fake and new accounts水军writing good reviews when the movie is actually terrible. Emperor is a listed company, i hope someone investigates their accounts.. faking box office at this day and age.

Thank you my brother!! Happy New Year to you too!! Thanks for all the figures and updates! 🙏🙏

It means relatively the tickets are more expensive than other films and people might thus choose other films to watch specifically on Tuesday. Hence maybe TCP's Wed will drop less than other films. Yes it just opened so didnt have discounts in many places.

I thought TCP didnt have Tuesday discounts while the other films have. That might explain the Tuesday gross.

They didnt have William Dafoe in this one, so cheaper plus James Wan can really stretch the dollar especially with what they alr innovated in the first film being reused.

Deadline updates from 5mins ago: DEC 26 AM UPDATE: We’re still waiting on official numbers, but Warner Bros wound up owning Christmas with its trifecta of Aquaman 2, Wonka and The Color Purple respectively in the top three spots. Speaking of The Color Purple, it came up big — much bigger than expected on its first day with an estimated $18.1M, A CinemaScore, 5 stars and 92% positive. That haul was enough for Color Purple to win Christmas Day ahead of Aquaman 2 ($10.6M) and Wonka ($10.4M). As of right now that ties with the first Christmas day of Universal’s feature take on West End/Broadway musical Les Miserables which went on to ultimately make $148.8M. Are musicals dead on the big screen? Absolutely not, they just need to be excellent.

But Aquaman had a Christmas Eve Sunday overseas as well which depressed OW - so not apples-to-apples, meaning legs in the weekdays (incl Christmas) will be stronger.

Wasn't a huge shock to be honest. Once the Amber Heard situation went crazy, and people were tweeting BoyCottAquaman when the first trailer came out + our understanding of Christmas eve falling on Sun - with the presales figures.. Some of us already thought + / - 25m. 28m is not really very shocking?

not really a metaphor of anything. You are really thinking too much into it. Was a funny tease and the audience in both my screenings ate it up. Orichalcum

Oh gosh, 2 big local films fighting for screens over Christmas weekend - even if Aquaman 2 opens wide; probably wouldnt do well right?

so what is the issue? showtimes is now very limited?

Heard that WB India screwed up the distribution for Aquaman 2 in India?

Thought you said Great Walkups and 11m Sat?

Yeah; that is why you shouldn't really predict cinemascore and hope for a film to fail before you watch it? It ended up being really fun and you realise a lot of hate for it is unwarranted..
