Fake Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Around 50-60M left from current markets and Japan should contribute another 10-15M. Should finish around 800M OS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2k Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) What's amazing is that AQM is looking at >835 WW-China. Currently on 733 WW-China: 42 more dom (330 total), 45 more OS-China-Japan (after 25 odd OS-China weekend) and 15 from Japan will give 733 + 42 + 45 + 15 = 835 It has a realistic shot at >850 WW-China. WW-China for recent CBMs AIW ~1690 AQM 835-855 DP1 783 BVS 778 SMH 764 GOTG2 763 SS 747 WONDR 731 DP2 744 (including PG13 release) THOR3 742 VENOM 584 AM2 500 Edited January 13, 2019 by a2k 2 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quigley Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Guys, let's not overdo it. Yeah, it was successful, but making $1B, or even $1.1B, in 2019 is hardly spectacular. Aquaman will probably reach a peak rank of about 25th on the WW chart. 10 years ago, the 25th biggest film was 'Spider-Man 2' at $783.8M. While a very strong result, it is hardly anything ground-breaking. All-time WW chart in January 2009: https://web.archive.org/web/20090116175944/https://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/world/ It is, however, WB's first film to reach $1B since 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' in January 2013 – a full 6 years ago. It never felt that long until I actually thought about it. Disney made the mistake of not releasing Solo on Christmas. The bitterness from 'Last Jedi' would have faded and WB would have never dared to set Aquaman against Han Solo. Well done for WB to grab the opportunity. Outside 2 DC films (Dark Knight Rises and Aquaman), WB has Hobbit #1 and HP7:P2. The Dark Knight reached $997M before being re-released, 6 months after its original release date, to cross the billion-dollar mark. 1 2 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those points prove why AQM's run is mind-blowing. -SM2's bo was spectacular back then and AQM being in the same 25th spot is great honour. -How tough it's been to crack 1b since Hobbit1 for WB! Who thought AQM would do it post BVS and JL's performance, that too with ease (over 1b by 100-150m). -Look at the WB 1b+ company it has : Nolan's Batman, PJ's Hobbit and the Potter finale. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium George Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 SM2 was a sequel to a $800m movie. Kinda like how Ultron was not that impressive despite being in top 5 at the time of it's release. But Aquaman is from a franchise, that's highest grossing movie made $875m. Completely different scenarios. Is Bohemian Rhapsody also not impressive? 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just crazy. NO ONE, except me, predicted it would do this well. I had it pegged to beat TDKR to become DC's biggest grosser ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside 2 DC films (Dark Knight Rises and Aquaman), WB has Hobbit #1 and HP7:P2. The Dark Knight reached $997M before being re-released, 6 months after its original release date, to cross the billion-dollar mark. So an unknown character of SH genre for general audiences making +$1.1b is not impressive? It is the second biggest beginning for a SH ever, just behind Black Panther, and bordering what Civil War did (yes, the same amount than what Captain America did with the help of other 11 avengers). And just to point that it seems that what The Dark Knight did was just because of it was very lucky to be re-released and make the incredible amount of... $6m more. Well, let's remember than in 2008, just 3 films had done 1 billion: Titanic, ROTK and POTC2 (2 legendary films and a huge blockbuster. That's all). The Dark Knight was the 4th film making it ever. I guess that to rank #4 WW is not an easy task... Infinity War ranks #4 WW today. (Talking about re-releases, let's remember too that Titanic needed it to reach $2b, and both Jurassic Park and Phantom Menace to reach $1b. I do not think there is nothing to be ashamed because of it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper Legion Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Aquaman did INSANE relative both to my expectations (2+x) and its budget (probably 6x+). I do think it’s reasonable to point out that low billions in 2019 is not quite the exclusive club it used to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I definitely saw some people point out that its 1.34 wasn’t as crazy as HP2’s 1.34, and I completely agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper Legion Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 In fact, people also pointed out that BP’s 1.34 wasn't as impressive as TDK’s 1.0 in 2008 — and they’re completely correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakiyyah6 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) People make up threshold's for the DC films. It's been happening sense the beginning. Every DC film could have made 1 billion and people would have found a way to downplay that. Meanwhile Thor Ragnarok is the biggest hit ever at 854mil. I loathe Batman v Superman and find Suicide Squad and JL to be poor movies but I've never understood this. People talk more favorably about Ant-Man and Wasp's box office numbers than Aquaman's.

People are just moving the goalposts now because it didn't score a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. Aquaman demolished Mary Poppins and Bumblebee even with the critics and bloggers trying to manufacture hype for them at every turn and calling for Aquaman to flop for over a year.
