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

I am way more interested in seeing this be a hot disaster in terms of just how bad WOM/BO can be since we know it has almost no chance at being a real hit. Might as well have something interesting vs a boring 300 ww flop run or whatever.

Wait are they killing a baby in this? Because that would be a very easy way to get a D CinemaScore lol

 

That won't happen . Killing a baby in a pg-13 comic book movie released during Christmas is a big NO. 

 

Most reasonable plot is Aquaman's dad getting offed ( perhaps his mother ) and the kid gets kidnapped so that would be a bait to call Aquaman's attention.

Really does not matter;, Flash will still lose Warners a shit load of money.

I wonder if they’re getting Tencent to be the distributor again. Does anyone know?

Wanda's distributor. As I know it means WB don't really have a good feeling about this.

Why isn't Nicole Kidman promoting this?

She most likely knows this is going to flop and is wisely keeping her head down in order to dodge the incoming shitstorm. I imagine most of the rest of the cast and crew might be feeling the same way.

The Marvels redux. Both studios completely abandoned their CBMs.

Even if Disney and WB gave Marvels and Aquaman 2 massive marketing campaigns, they would have inevitably crashed and bombed as WOM got out. It's what happened to the Flash. So by doing bare minimum marketing (i.e. some TV spots and not much else), they get to cut their losses

I should mention that Disney gave a big marketing campaign to The Marvels (they only lack cast promotion due to the strike). People didn't notice the marketing campaign, because there wasn't interest on The Marvels.

 

In the case of WB, they really seem disinterested on promoting Aquaman 2.

They certainly did not do anything of the sort.

Who are you speaking?

 

Disney? They spend a good amount of money on The Marvels promotion. They have Goose the cat appears on Las Vegas Sphere. There was also other kind of promotion for The Marvels.

They promoted the film the final week of release. But this isn't the Marvels thread.
