  1. 250m is locked in China. It's already at 233 and the only really big competition in the offing is Bumblebee on the 4th. Spider verse Maoyan score has dropped to 8.8 and AQ will start passing it in the dailies beginning today. Still looking good for 260, maybe 270-275 if BB and another local release next weekend falter. I am excited to see Bumblebee. Talked to several folks who saw it last night and loved it.
  2. Best news is that AQ's percentage of total market share keeps rising, now up to 31%. Great WOM kicking in. Saturday should be huge.
  3. Yeah, if it was at 284 on Monday it should have easily cleared 300 by early Wednesday.
  4. I think the WOM on this will be great. If it didn't have so much competition I would say 300m was a shoo in, but right now I'm going to stick with $270 or thereabouts. MPR is the big wild card. I don't know a single person under 30 who cares about the film at all, but I always assumed the baby boomers would turn out in droves. They sure didn't yesterday.
  5. Definitely gaining momentum. Only a 9% drop (the updated Thursday figure is $983,000) from OD where the other two major openers fell over 25%. Presales for Friday point to a big bump as well.
  6. It's a shame that fandoms, actually, tribes of any kind, are often defined by their loudest and most fanatical members. I loved Aquaman and I can't wait for MPR. The more good things in the world, the better, right? I mean, Aquaman, for fucks sake, and Mary Poppins! Who would have thought five years ago we'd be getting either of these movies? (To say nothing of a seemingly great Transformers and animated Spiderman.) This IS the Golden Age, and yet you'd never know it from the amount of bile that passes for commentary on the net...
  7. I'll be going so that makes, what- 5? 6 of us? $200 mil OW incoming! 😂
  8. Yeah, that's crazy math. Six months ago I would have been thrilled at a $57-62 start, but after seeing the film last night and talking to folks afterward, I would be shocked if it opened that low. I think the WOM on this is going to be fantastic.
  9. Fantastic, thanks for the update. Is there a Taiwanese website like Maoyan where you can track box office and audience scores?
  10. How's the buzz/critical response to Aquaman in Brazil one day before the opening?
  11. I agree. With RDJ's Doctor Dolittle moving from it's April 12th slot and Hellboy a minor player at best, Shazam should have a strong second weekend hold assuming it's received well. And if Aquaman hits in America like it's done in China, that's just added momentum for the brand, which would greatly benefit a lesser known property like Shazam.
  12. Aquaman total, 5232.63, has literally not budged a point in the last several hours on Maoyan even as others on the list have been steadily selling. Glitch in the system?
  13. BOOM! For a change, DC fans can actually look forward to the audience score. 😂 Hoping for a Maoyan that settles at 9.2 or above.
  14. Thanks for providing these. Good to see The Mule maintaining its pace in spite of the competition. 🐴
  15. POTUS, what was Aquaman's final presale number for today? Did it make the 50% bump?
  16. Even more impressive when you consider that a lot of the demand for Aquaman this far out is still going towards the Amazon screenings.
  17. Looking good for Aqua, Spidey, and MPR. Given that Aquaman's numbers don't include the Dec 15th shows, where a number of theaters have added 2nd, 3rd, and sometimes even 4th screenings, it's opening week numbers should be huge. Assuming Clint will get a bunch of oldster walk ups, but that Mortal Engines number is brutal.
  18. Another question from a newbie for anyone in the know. Against my better instincts I watched Grace Randolph's video yesterday about the early tracking numbers, and she made the peculiar claim that WB was "working against itself" by holding the advance AQ showings on the 15th, because they "wouldn't be counted in the film's box office." Now, that doesn't make sense to me on any level, but just to confirm, the shows on the 15th will be bundled into the preview night number, correct? Thanks in advance.
  19. Does this number for Aquaman include the Amazon advance screenings on the 15th?
