Where's that gif of Aquaman falling into the puddle? 

 

 

The marvels started with 80ish and got a B

And based on how hilariously bad the legs were (1.8x with THANKSGIVING TO HELP) it was probably close to a B minus

 

Now, imagine if the DCEU B range CinemaScore streak gets broken

Once again, being a DC fan sucks.

This but unironically. After The Marvels and now Aquaman 2 BB making $73M domestic is impressive as hell. You'd think it would do like $35M total or something based on how other CBMs did.

It's a good film that somehow missed the A- Cinemascore by a hair.

Blue Beetle is the only one that I haven´t watched yet

 

Such wasted potential this universe

Wasted indeed, only 2 hits (Aquaman and WW) with every other movie being either a divisive mediocre movie or a massive flop.

[HummingLemon496]

At the beginning of this year you could probably reasonably convince someone that the 4 DCEU movies would add to over $2.5 billion combined

 

Now, it's a question mark to if they reach $800 million combined 

 

It's also said how @Legion Again disappeared on this forum today . Wonder what his updated prediction is since he's really, really accurate.

Black Adam ($390 million) is the highest grossing movie since the first Aquaman ($1.1 billion). If you ask me, The Rock really changed the hierarchy of DC. James Gunn could really use his star power and creative prowess right about now, maybe he should show up in Superman Legacy to revive this fading franchise.  

[dallas]

I can see Superman: Legacy doing around $500M

The Marvels is currently at 83% Verified Ratings. With a Cinemascore of "B"

[Borobudur]

Even BA got 88% VA score with just 38% critics score, means that the audience agrees with critics. The movie is meh. Not only it is the worst reviewed of all DC movies post-Covid, the GA is also the second weakest, just not far above WW1984 (73% vs 77%)

International is going better then expected, still wouldn't rule it out.

Yeah 🇨🇳 will prevent <$200M. But <$200M WW-C is still on the table

 

However, I have it around $50M in China which would need <$150M WW-C so around <$60M domestic. I don't know how this happens, it would need a deadful collapse like 3.9*5*3 or something? But 77% initial verified RT is really bad and I never thought The Marvels would only do 1.8x with Thanksgiving sooo. . .yeah still no probably like <1% chance of going below $200M WW.

Maybe The Rock did changed the hierarchy of power in DC afterall
