Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom | December 22, 2023 | David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick (co-writer of first film) returns

[Speedorito]

This movie would have to be truly unwatchable to not do at least decently. What’s so wrong about this film that WB was holding off on releasing anything about it?

The execs at WBD are fucking clueless.

A single shot of Heard in the trailer. She's getting killed off early in the story.

[Mojoguy]

Trailer looks good.

 

Holiday weekdays are going to save this movie's boxoffice for sure. Would have made 1/2 as much without the holidays.

[Bob Train]

Upping my predicts to $400m WW after the trailer. I hope people don't get carried away with predictions after the trailer like what happened to Flash.

[YM!]

My god, Black Manta is going to kill the Aquababy. Let's GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

[Firepower]

Reports about the worst movie ever made are probably as accurate as those reports about The Flash being the best movie ever made or Indy 5 being fantastic.

Well the first movie didn’t blow critics away so this being rotten won’t be surprising the way DCU has been failing

[John Marston]

Yeah. WB should have spent their marketing money on this instead of The Flash

That looks rad. It’s gotten me excited in a way other trailers for blockbusters lately haven’t. I’ll see it in a theater. I’m also a bit more optimistic about it’s opening weekend chances now.

Yeah sorry but this looks like a stupid blast i’m all in

 

same. They didn't even bother with underwater effect lmaooo but the movie is embracing dumb fun and I'm counting days. It confirms the leaks 100% which means Ormthur bromance ahoy! Bring it!

 also this! ☝️

Suffice to say that the Creator is coming closer for VFX win at the Oscar.

[toutvabien]

Looks kinda like the first film but on even more drugs. I'm in.

[BadOlCatSylvester]

Looks like more of the same. But considering that means 2 more hours of pot-induced CGI battles and feral Jason Momoa warcries, it's not a bad deal in the slightest. As I've said before though, audiences of today are a lot more demanding and won't settle with pure dumb fun like the first Aquaman, which will be a major hurdle for it, on top of the baggage the DC brand comes with. We'll just have to wait until December to see how it all plays out.

You think "sub 400 WW" wasn't getting carried away? For a sequel to a movie that out grossed Dark Knight?

[TheFlatLannister]

$600M should be attainable assuming its not hot dogwater. I think people underestimate just how much the Holiday's and barren January helps films overall BO

[Speedorito]

I just saw an ad advertising the movie as “sequel to DC’s highest grosser”

Agreed. I’m higher on it than most people seem to be. 700-750m ww

[KeepItU25071906]

Looks the same as first movie: visually great but stupid. I'm out, I think, but in December this topic will be on fire, no doubt.

[MovieMan89]

The spectacle honestly looks like it may outclass the first, which really isn’t an easy feat. Idk, this movie would have to have a pretty horrific script to be as bad as some of the reports if the spectacle delivers, bc that’s really all the first film had going for it too (and all it needed tbh). 
 

And looks like my suspicion they’d pretty much hide Heard in the marketing is going to pan out. Honestly, it’s a smart move. I would keep both her or Depp as far away from my big budget tentpole marketing these days if I were the studios.
