im pretty sure the competion is spider-verse, elemental was not close to being a critical darling, in fact it was rotten coming out of canned iirc or very close to it
It's an original kids movie that's still nearly a month away and 2 kids movies are eating up the family dollars atm, it should be comped with elementals
well i recently started tracking the 5 busiest AMC's of the 10 total i was previously tracking so i don't have comps but the marvels at (d-29) had sold 450 tickets at 10 locations and even if i split that number in half to 225, aquaman still is running ~48% or a $3.2m previews and likely even worse since the 5 theatres i no longer track either only had standard showings or very few showings
Wonka (D-23):
58 tickets at 5 Houston AMC's
Migration (D-30) 1 day on sale:
0 tickets sold at 5 Houston area AMC's
Aquaman 2 (D-30) 1 day on sale:
102 tickets at 5 Houston AMC's
first one came during the peak of comic book movies, even a critically demolished venom made 860m with an october release in the same year, the market has changed so much that a fantastically well recieved guardians movie can't even make those numbers
he's not saying there's no chance it can't do decently by the end but that the start is not that good considering its a sequel to a billion dollar grosser, similar early checks on the marvels let us know it wasn't gonna sniff previous mcu openings, we can get some idea of how aquaman will open with early sales
Started checking Aquaman 2 tickets about 45 minutes after Fandango tweeted it was on sale, so far sold 47 tickets at 5 AMC's but 32 of those are from 2 standard showings where the exact same middle row are all sold, dunno if thats a group buy or blocked or error
I'm gonna compare a marvel sequel to an original kids animated movie that released in summer with no other real competition for that demographic for 2 months
