I believe Aquaman can leg it to $300 million during the holiday season and barren January. I think it broke the $500 million sound barrier already. 

 

This is a big win for the DCEU. They should build and build upon this success. The MCU is running out of ideas and coming close to the end. They say Avengers 4 will conclude the franchise. The DCEU will replace the MCU to become the highest grossing franchise and the comic book staple for audiences at the theaters.

Who is they? Spiderman far from home happens after Endgame. The only reason we haven't heard past that is that Disney likes playing this close to the vest. I wouldn't be surprised if a few weeks after Endgame they reveal their next few years of movies.

If DC ever gets Batman rolling again you'll start to see more billion dollar movies too.  All things come to an end.  DC dominated with the Batman trilogy.  Lords of the Rings stuff dominated for a while.  Harry Potter stuff dominated for a while.  

 

It's what you do AFTER..  to keep these properties relevant.. that's most interesting.

Im not gonna get involved in a franchise war discussion. All I'll say, as a fan of DC (probably more than Marvel) is no. To all of that.

MCU hasn't even reached its full potential yet. Plenty of unexplored territory with the X-Men and Fantastic Four back in their hands.

I guess you did not look into the background and missed as such quite a bit informations and hints? Including start of production plans, hired for this and that project people and....

Hint: you are wrong

As much as I love most of the Fox X-Men franchise, and as "done to death" as the characters may seem, I think the X-Men within the MCU, posssibly within an AVX movie would blow the roof off the box office. I think most of us have anecdotal evidence of people wanting the characters in the MCU and as much as I think that universe is not adventurous enough with their properties and stick to the generic (with exceptions), they know how to build hype. And getting the X-Men back will definitely pump up their base more than anything else and casuals will show up with the promise of a huge event involving familoar characters in a new context.

you are talking years before that happens...   and the same was said about Spider-Man Homecoming.  Then the movie came out and it did very well but not the billion+ or 1.2,  1.3 that many people were expecting.

Sure, because the endless amount of C/D-list properties they still own + all the Fox characters they'll get their hands on means they have to be running out of ideas, because Spider-Man 2 isn't happening next July and they don't have many other movies in production from 2020 onwards... right?

 

I'm not saying DC can't take over as the #1 thing, but c'mon now

DC has not even come close to their potential either.  It  goes both ways. 

[YM!]

Oh boy. More CBM fan war talk that’ll eventually lead to discord. Almost as if some people didn’t listen from earlier advice.

[Maxmoser3]

Rampage did pass $100 million according to Mojo. And 2018 is now a record! However December 2018 looks to be one of the least attended in a while.

 

Aquaman is doing fine for a origin film. It’s almost $500 million worldwide! A total around $200 million should be stable for it. 

 

Mary Poppins was expected too much before this weeekend. However similar to Blade Runner 2049 last year, it’s turnout was mediocre. 25+ old franchises in the 2010s go more to your 007s, Dinosaurs, Toys, ocassional slasher villain returns, Or the Rocky/Creed franchsie. Mary Poppins is a niche property as older audiences will find more nostalgia than the social media loving tweens. On the bright side, Mary Poppins 2 should hold up  in the next few weeks and should make over $100 million domestic. 

 

Bumblebee had an alright debut. The spinoff should pull $100 million with lacking of new releases. Not bad for Paramount. Should have some sexy legs what...(she’s a pretty animal... SCHWING!)   

  

 

Second Act I don’t know should leg out average. 

 

Marwen fuck it.

 

the rest  ok to alright. Mule holding up. Kids movies still living.

 

overall: repost for this. But next year should be fine 

[Ms Lady Hawk]

Saw Aquaman. It was good. My opinion is subject to change over time, but I think my DCEU rankings are:

 

1. Wonder Woman

2. Justice League

3. Aquaman

4. Man of Steel

5. BvS

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Suicide Squad- The only DCEU movie that I did not enjoy at all. Joker’s relationship with Harley Quinn was abusive, sick and not compelling. 

 

I think the DCEU gets a bad rap. They are more often than not better than their scores on RT. 

 

Also saw Bumblebee. My son loves the Transformer toys. I was pleasantly surprised. I hope it does okay at the box office this holiday season.

5:00 Vice: 25/40

 

This is slightly behind The Favourite and MQOS from Thursday night, but given it's Christmas Eve, this is a strong total. The 8 PM show is only a quarter sold out atm.

[MCKillswitch123]

Everyone is stealing my legs man gimmick now 

 

Unacceptable. ESPECIALLY if we're talking about Hailee. I should've gotten exclusive rights to posting pics of dem legs of hers in the forum.

Ben is Back starts well but then becomes a contrived mess in the second half. Americans can't seem to make good dramas anymore. Poor Julia. She's good in the movie but she's still...Julia.

You’re right.  Poor MCU all they have left are flop characters like Black Panther

They need to get Batman and SUPERMAN rolling again.

15 years ago. 15 years ago saw Lord of the Rings:Return of the King. What a great movie. One of the greatest movies ever made.
