No it wouldn’t have lol

I doubt that. As internationally the film is much more appreciated than The Marvels.

Maybe the domestic market has gotten more harsh in rating films.

I know this isn’t a 1:1 comparison with varying factors but Aquaman 2 should be doing about $120M+ Dom even with its worse reception. I’m guessing a similar trajectory to Bumblebee would have it somewhere around $85M by New Year’s Day. Bumblebee of course ended with like a 6x multi, I doubt Aquaman 2 would get that high, but it is likely doing more than 4x.

There weren’t COVID delays with production just release delays, and cameos don’t exactly inflate budgets. Reshoots were just a couple days when added together according to Wan so it probably wasn’t that costly.

Also I think The Marvels had a few more markets that Aquaman has yet to open in, namely Australia and Japan.

Manta found the Black Trident and was breaking into Atlantis to steal some green chemical, can’t remember the name of it lol. But yea they did a heist on Atlantis and that’s what caused the battle when Topo sounded the alarms.

Isn’t it weird we don’t have an overseas tally yet? Or is it because of the holidays we won’t be getting anything any time soon?

Close enough.

Well somewhere close to that at least. 12M Sat 8M Sun

You always sound like you want to be optimistic but doubt yourself… don’t. And I’m gonna say higher. $35M OW (3 day) + 5x multiplier. Now that’s optimistic. Overseas number? Idk but this thing is crossing $400M WW. Call me crazy.

If you blinked when she appeared in the trailer then you would miss her lol. Even her supporters thought she wasn’t going to be in the movie. Hence I said she was absent from 99% of the marketing, she’s only in that fraction of a second shot. We’ll see if Friday’s audience skews the score more positive a bit but I was not accrediting Heard haters for the Cinemascore but more the RT score. But there’s many flaws with my theory,

It’s easily going above The Flash unless it randomly falls off a cliff during the biggest box office period for some extreme reason.

They didn’t know she was in it hence they’re pissed lol. The movie did go out of its way not to show her in 99% of the marketing.

Update, I think it maybe the Amber haters impacting the score. Saw some complaining on Twitter that she’s still in the movie… idk though just a theory.
