    Aquaman still has a shot at 250 million in China?

     

    Heartbroken about Bumblebee. Hopefully they don't go back to Bayformers and continue using Bumblebee as a reboot.

     

    Hoping for good legs for Bumblebee and Aquaman. Glad Poppins flop. Was sick of people hyping it up for over a year.

    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.

    With MP starting off worse then expected i think 300m Domestic happens for Aquaman, unless it gets terrible WOM. 

    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.

    Correlation isn't causation. Sure he's a DCEU fanboy. And that's cool. And yea, he probably is here to troll. But we shouldn't just go making statements that fans of DC are inherently trolls. 

     

    you're probably right though

    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...

    Did they just paste the Poppins number for Aquaman? A 57-62M start won't lead to 115M. A 68-75M start however can.

    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.

    Shazam will have all the major formats to itself for three weeks so it makes sense for them to stay put. 

    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.

    The Spider-Verse jump is being inflated by this weekend's preview screenings, but it's still doing very well.

     

    I plan to extrapolate the Bumblebee numbers later and see how much it's being inflated by the previews this Saturday. It seems like a good chunk of Bumblebee's tickets are from these early screenings just through a quick scan.

    Thanks for providing these. Good to see The Mule maintaining its pace in spite of the competition. 🐴

    No way, you have to keep in mind that Aquaman Tickets went on sale 15 days ago, presales tend to peak on the debuting weak and final weak, so for it to lead the presales on a day by day basis is super impressive. 

    Even more impressive when you consider that a lot of the demand for Aquaman this far out is still going towards the Amazon screenings.

  8. 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.
