It physically can't really have a 35M OW.

Why not?

Just look at this weekend in 2017 and you'll get why? Absolutely most optimistic weekend result I can see would be something like

 

4.5

10

11.5

7

 

And that would make 33. Realistically though it will probably do lower on all 3 days and be ard 30 give or take 1M or something

4.5

9.5

11.2

6.7

 

31.9

This sounds about right but I really want this to do better than Black Adam

Close enough.

I unironically thought this could make more than Oppenheimer worldwide as late as October.

 

When the trailer came out I predicted $750M.

 

Back in June I made multiple posts about how people were underestimating this film because the first one did well after Justice League.

 

Please point and laugh. 💀💀💀💀

You’re really doing cartwheels around this film and it’s getting silly. 
 

Yesterday you had posts in this very thread asking another user if <$200m worldwide was a possibility.

So yes I underestimated it (it seemed to make a recovery with back loaded sales/walk ups)

 

So my posts back in June about how people were underestimating this film actually aged well. . .in a roundabout way I guess

This is all very small in the grand scheme of things

Aquaman is currently at ¥163M with 3 hours to go left in the day. It's projected cume today is ¥166M. Will this movie break projections for the fourth day in a row?

This was so much fun, if you enjoyed the first one, you should enjoy this one as well, same vibes, just bromance instead of romance!

 

 I guess its only sin is being a CBM in 2023.

I honestly agree with this. 

 

It was entertaining as hell, probably gonna see it again.

Even if it beats the projections by a little, the end remains the same: It will probably lose money for Warners; and best case, which is not likely, it barely breaks even.

 A lot of people just don'r seem to want to accept that the GA has had it's fill of CBM's and are tired of them . Yes, a few. Spiderman NWH, Batman, and GOTG 3 will do well but most will struggle to break even. The days of the CBM as the dominant genre at the box office are over.

They don't provide a break down but probably like $30M-ish domestic & China and $40M overseas.

They said $70M OS opening. Is China included in that?

I feel like you keep saying this over and over even though basically no one here disagrees with you.

"The Top 5 markets on Aquaman 2 through Friday are China ($13.9M), Mexico ($3.4M), Brazil ($1.9M), Indonesia ($1.9M) and France ($1.6M)."

Yeah; that is why you shouldn't really predict cinemascore and hope for a film to fail before you watch it?

 

It ended up being really fun and you realise a lot of hate for it is unwarranted..
