The movie has been overperforming in ever Asian market though. I think the movie will gross a lot more than 10 million,

Bois, if you want to actually watch a good movie with some proper Latinx representation watch Roma instead of Second Act. I mean it's basically a foreign language film produced and distributed by American companies. Do JLo films even count as representation? She has been a huge celebrity for over a decade and all her recent films are probably some of the most whitest shit I have ever seen.

Ok, is this the same dude spamming with alt accounts or some other dude? Because it's getting annoying seeing some new account ask the same question again and again in every international thread. Dude, no one fucking knows.

Pretty much. Has a chance for highest grossing DC film ever if domestic holds up well.

I guess you didn't expect Aquaman to hold so well this weekend.

Wonder Woman was November 2019. December 2019 is already pretty crowded with two 300 mil+ DOM movies releasing that month. This year Aquaman is the only 300 mil+ DOM film. Poppins might also reach 300 mil but if that happens it will likely be after Aquaman makes most of its money. Episode 9 and Jumanji will be frontloaded and I don't see Wonder Woman (which would also be more frontloaded compared to other Christmas releases) do well in Christmas. Episode 9, Jumanji, and Wonder Woman would be a much bigger battle than December this year and one of these films would underperform greatly because of this.

Roma was probably the visually (and auditorily) stimulating movie I have seen all year outside of maybe They Shall not Grow Old and Mandy. Also, Apostle was extremely visually stimulating but I don't think audiences really care about mid-budget horror films anymore. I feel like Bright could have done really well last year. It is absolute junk but I think people really liked it (but that could be because the movie was basically free). All the boys I Loved Before could have also been a moderate hit because of the same reasons as Crazy Rich Asians. A well-made movie with representation seems like a great formula for box office success.

MoS and BvS made a profit of 46.3 mil and 100 mil respectively. Not really huge hits if you ask me. Also, Justice League literally flopped. It is really funny that you are making it seem like the movie just made less money than expected. No, it actually lost a lot of money in terms of the revenue earned from the movie itself and the substantial amount of brand damage (which affects merch). The franchise WAS momentarily dead. Ant Man and the Wasp probably made around the same profit as BvS so it as much of a success as BvS (I would consider both disappointing). I love your blatant fanboyism for the DCEU in every thread. Yes, DCEU is the best franchise ever. All the people who say otherwise are just C L I C K B A I T. Napolean, honest question. Why do you think everyone is here to destroy the DCEU? All these "clickbait" news sites were happy when Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, and now Aquaman became huge hits.

Will it regain them on Sunday considering that the other movies are doing pretty bad (especially Thugs of Hindustan).

He also had the stand up show on Netflix recently that made a lot of people cry

At least 30 mil WW on Thursday, 100 mil during the weekend and another 25 mil on Monday. Ends up with 750. Unless Aquaman drops abysmally in the weekend, there is no way it isn't beating Deadpool 2.

8th place by the end of the weekend and should reach 7th place by the end of the year. Only will have two more movies to beat after that and reach the top 5 of 2018.

Considering that the movie has been dropping like Jack Recher, I'm going to one-up everyone here and say -15% drop for Aquaman. Going with 58 mil.

Probably won't overtake Aquaman until next week.

I rewatched Spider-verse today and the movie was a lot funnier. I think I missed a few of the jokes the first time I watched the movie. Also, (^^^^SPOILER) got me pretty hard this time.

No, it has no Oscar buzz. The movie was completely forgotten in all the other awards. Unless it gets nominated for a PGA, it has no chance of having any sort of Oscar buzz.

Lol what? That makes no sense at all. Aquaman needed CGI as much as Bumblebee did. I mean, Bumblebee could have also worked with practical effects just like the Trex from Jurassic Park if you think about it. I think you are making some weird explanations to make some weird point lol.

If Bumblebee counts as an animated character, shouldn't Aquaman be counted an animated film as it is like 80% CGI?

Probably because Australia also has a huge Asian Australian population just like in America.

A 37% drop on Wednesday seems like a worst case scenario considering that Boxing Day is almost as huge as Christmas itself. I think the movie will drop by 27% and I feel like I am still being pessimistic there.

Yeah, they at least got 250 mil out of that deal.

I'm using Box office report. They said the movie made 38 mil OS. 26.1 mil from China. 11.1 mil OS-C last weekend. I think I looked at the OS total for some other movie and said 5 mil instead. Still, this means that the movie will leg out to an extra 5 mil or so. Not enough come anywhere near 200 mil. Also Spider-verse is looking at 50-60 mil China. It's going to be losing theatres fast with new local releases this weekend, Bumblebee the weekend after, and Aquaman reigning (it also got an extension which means it won't lose many screens).

Yeah. I have no clue what those guys are taking about. If we are making asinine comparisons like this, I'll just point out that Aquaman's first Monday is only 2.9 mil less than Infinity War's first Monday. I think this shows that Infinity War was badly received. /s

There is no way this movie is making 200 mil OS lol. It's going to make around 50-60 mil China and 50 mil OS without China (the movie grossed 5 million last weekend if you exclude China). Let's also say Japan gives another 10 million. Gives at total of 120-130 mil. It can gross 150 mil if Japan overperforms but 200 mil is impossible. Domestic is much lower than Lego Batman at the same stage and the distance between both films seems to furthering apart (Lego Batman 12 day: 107 mil vs Spidee-verse 12 day: 73.7 mil) The movie is only passing 300 mil if it over performs massively and that hasn't happened yet. Even the Chinese gross is middling.

I'm going with 195 mil total by the end of second weekend for Aquaman at the moment. I think the movie will gross 20 mil on Wednesday and 18 on Thursday. Adding in the predicted 52 mil for the weekend gives the movie 195 mil. By the way, how big are New Year's Eve and New Year in terms of box office compared to Christmas and Boxing day?
