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

I do have to retract what I was saying about legs have to at least be good with the xmas release… they kinda don’t given the sheer number of new wide releases. 8 is absurd. Even if none ended up being heavy hitters, all of them combined means there’s tons of options for people to drop this like a rock if it’s terrible

To those who have seen it, is it better or worse than Black Adam?

Lmao, this may be the first time ever I feel like a studio is actually manifesting their massive budgeted tentpole to be a flop themselves as well

Edit: dont let actors write script for a big budget movie unless they have history of being a writer. I am surprised WB decided to take Mamoa's treatment and made this movie.

 

wait what?

We should see how the OS word of mouth is like by tomorrow at least

Every Social media reaction I have seen says its terrible. Definitely its not making 100m domestic and probably the holidays will save it from finishing below Shazam as the lowest DCEU movie this year. Not sure how low it can go but nothing would surprise me at this point. I dont think WB is trying that hard to build any kind of hype.

I don't think Momoa wrote the script dude. He had a few ideas, sure, but he wasn't an actual writer.

China will eat it up. It's a similar movie to The Meg 2 and that got a B- Cinemascore. If this is any better, it will do well.

It's funny watching the same people most active in attacking The Marvels get defensive when everyone is treating Aquaman 2 the same way.

You’re really paranoid sometimes.

 

 

I am disappointed with the reactions, but still hoping I’ll have fun with it this weekend.

Like in total? I could've swore I saw a few days ago it would do like a $30M four day

Damn okay. I was referring to Jat's tweet btw where he said it would open to a $28M four day weekend. Guess that didn't pan out. 🤷‍♂️
