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?

Not really for Spiderverse. That movie dropped by 39% Monday which was a mediocre drop (I wouldn't say it was the better of the bunch). But I agree that it probably balances out for MPR.

Relatively weak increases for Mary Poppins returns and Spider-verse.

Regina King is almost definitely going to win. The SAG just sucks ass.

It seems to have beat them all in total USD gross. And it very likely will beat BvS by Thursday.

Holy shit. Is that dude the kid from the Disney channel shows about twins or something? I used to watch that as a kid. Either way, why does he look like Daisy Ridley now?

He was known as a joke before this though. Was he ever known as a WWE character as you call it? The Aquaman from the movie is basically a new character. Honestly, I think both Avatar and Aquaman play with archetypes. I would in no way call any of the characters in Avatar grounded or real except for maybe Neytiri. Also, well-developed characters are usually memorable because character development is what distinguishes a character. Archetypes usually aren't so distinguishable.

I'm guessing you have never seen Avatar before. At least people can remember Aquaman's character. Does anyone remember Sam Worthington's character in Avatar?

*Barfs*

Ok

No, I don't think so. Fantastic Beasts will pass 40 mil (at 38 mil right now), Mary Poppins should be on track to 40 million with that opening too. I think they are stating that each movie will make 40 million considering that the two of the three mentioned there will pass 40 million by the end of their run. Because TGS had shitty pop songs (worse than the intentionally shitty pop songs from A Star is Born) that can't be told apart from another generic pop song.

Ummm, Gavin reports that total gross till today is 239.3 mil, not 238.

How the hell is Aquaman going to reach 40 million with that opening?

Should make $50 mil by the end of its run there though. I'm expecting Poppins to finish around $55 mil in the UK.

Cinema chains did considering that the movie has the widest box office release in the UK. I have a friend who lives near Dover and he says he has never seen this sort of release before.

Seems like UK should boost Mary Poppins overseas gross similarly to Spider-verse's boost from China.

What number is Aquaman tracking towards today?

Can anyone if check that boxofficemojo number for Netherlands wrong? It says 1 mil opening weekend for the movie but it has made 10 mil to date. Thats literally just one million less than infinity war. It seems wrong to me.

According to Wikipedia: In the motion picture industry, a "box-office bomb" or "box-office flop" is a film that is considered highly unsuccessful or unprofitable during its theatrical run. So, Mary Poppins hasn't flopped yet.

270+. With that really good Monday hold (should be around that number on Tuesday too), I think 275 mil+.

Lmao, is Mortal Engines beating TLJ for worst legs for a December film? That is absolutely awful. At least TLJ opened to over 25 times the opening of Mortal Engines. The weekend has been a bit disappointing but I think we kept our expectations too high. It really wasn't the bloodbath we were expecting.
