Now its Aquaman 2: 78% migration: 86% iron claw: 97% iron Claw’s score isn’t surprising after watching it on the 13th!

At most I see OS +China around 150-160M. Not saying it’s not possible to crack $200M OS but given the recent run of CBMs, I’m not willing to put money of that

I’d see it more likely getting a B+ as many of the issues in Lost Kingdom are largely the same issues found in Black Adam. Forgettable villains, predictable, cliche, trope ridden with no stakes

Nope. No one of real importance dies unless you count Manta and Necrus. and even then their deaths are so anticlimactic

In this current environment, I can almost guarantee that Superman:Legacy isn’t a guaranteed hit. Despite Gunn’s prior success, I don’t see S:L being a smash hit. When taking into account the growing apathy for Comic Book projects overall (MCU and DC) as well as DC long history of haphazard results and that Creature Commandos comes out next year, there’s not enough room for a reset to people back on board. Yes Gunn is talented but ask anyone outside of film twitter and Letterboxd and Reddit, the GA don’t know or care who Gunn is

That’s so true but I honestly don’t see Gunn being able to ignore those individuals even if he wanted to. I wouldn’t want to be in his position and I grew up on DC and wanting it to succeed but Gunn’s tendency to react to any and every little thing or person as well as apathy for DC films as well as CBMs in general is going to be quite the climb for him and WB/DC. The landscape has clearly changed towards CBMs and I think Gunn is going to face what many facets of media have faced before, one minute you’re hot, the next you’re not. Hell if anything Gunn may encounter what David Lee Roth encountered when he went solo from Van Halen

If the DC universe and superhero films in general were in a better shape with GA, I could envision $4M but too many DC film misfires as well as the overall downturn for CBM, I see at most $3.5M in previews. I could be surprised but at the moment I can’t see $4M in previews

Just got out of it about 10 minutes ago. It’s a beautiful mess. It’s so trope ridden and telegraphed that I found myself disconnected emotionally from the film. Think if you threw into a cinematic blender, Tomb of The Dragon Emperor, 2008’s Journey to The Center of The Earth, Thor:Dark World and Love &Thunder, with Quantumania thrown in with dashes of the first Aquaman, push the button and voila and you get this film. if you’re able to lower your expectations and turn your brain off, I guess it could be a fine film but with the latest run of CBMs, fun just ain’t gonna be enough, maybe if it was released a year the first Aquaman, I could see fun being enough but not now

Getting ready to watch this in a half hour. Will let you all know what I think of it

Definitely bad

I wouldn’t put too much stock into it as generally fans on any established franchise are going to overwhelming rate in a positive light and it’s from such a small sample that viewing it as a bellweather for things to come is not wise

What’s reception like in China?

Aquaman (2018) social media and review embargo dates announced The first social media reactions were released on Monday, November 26th, at 2pm PT, while the full reviews were released on Tuesday, December 11th, at 11 am PT. Aquaman 2’s review and social media embargoes being lifted not just hours before the first shows in the US but when the film is already playing in a handful of markets is more than enough confirmation that WB/DC have very little confidence

Actually framing a film’s budget in the manner and intent you have been doing is the agenda 😂😂😂

You just proved my point 😂😂😂it’s kind of embarrassing at this point. Instead of answering the question you deflected it by bringing in different outlets which had nothing to do with the question.
