  1. 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.
  2. Thank you my brother!! Happy New Year to you too!! Thanks for all the figures and updates! 🙏🙏
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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?
  8. 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
  9. Oh gosh, 2 big local films fighting for screens over Christmas weekend - even if Aquaman 2 opens wide; probably wouldnt do well right?
  10. 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..
  11. Hem; not the Marvel vs DC thread - but Wonder Woman 1984 was a day and date release, so not apples-to-apples. Plus MCU films are known to have higher RT scores even if the film quality is actually not great - like the Marvels, Thor 4 or Dr Strange 2. Superhero movie landscape is very different then compared to now; superhero fatigue is real and can be seen in 2023. Aquaman is the last film of a dead universe; no1 should care for it while The Marvels is one of the key connecting films to an existing universe; with "Marvel"(s) literally in the title. I think both did badly so why piss on one? Both sides have made bad sequels.. Dr Strange MoM is good? lol.
  12. He shoud update his username to Black Manta because he can't let go of Aquaman 2; keep updating his BO prediction, RT critics prediction and cinemascore prediction. It is getting seriously hilarious. 😂
  13. Congrats! I have two girls; parenthood is an extremely rewarding journey so enjoy! 😀 But I wouldn't wish any movie to flop especially after being a parent - tend to be more open and less critical about things especially this movie somewhat focuses on newborn + parenthood. Also wishing a movie to flop is like hoping someone's child doesn't do well in exams.. I hope every opener over this period surprises to continue to boost the dwindling theatrical business
  14. TBH; I would say most ppl underestimated her screen time because she appear less than a second in 1 trailer, and then disappeared from all marketing materials and not found in any posters at all. So it is really very possible people rate the movie down because of her screen time
  15. Not surprisingly really. Everyone thought it would be the biggest as it had MCU's main villain introduced to the big screen...
  16. Yeah 100% agreed, my theater clapped.. Every1 ate up the IMAX 3D, my wife said it was better than the 1st Aquaman and more evenly paced than Avatar last yr.. Some scenes from Nicole Kidman talking to Orm were also very touching IMO. But it got whacked by critics real hard...
  17. Yes, good 2nd day definitely. And tomorrow is Friday so will definitely increase. Maoyan has up its final prediction for Aquaman by c.90m Yuan (c.USD13m more). Not bad at all. WoM in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Msia and Singapore are all pretty good thus far as well
  18. I genuinely don't think Aquaman will perform as badly as The Marvels. Quality wise it is definitely better than The Marvels; but I think RT score will be lower noting Marvel films tend to have higher RT scores.. so let's see how much RT impacts box office.
  19. At 820pm already at 21.8m Yuan for today, already hit estimates with more than an hour and half to go.
