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

There really is a non-zero chance of Aquaman 2 owning 60%+ of the DCEU box office this year

Killing the baby would make the bro adventure angle feel insanely tonally dissonant. My guess is the baby gets kidnapped.

With this and The Marvels, the haters are going to have a real reckoning this winter.

The "haters" will be proven right when both fail to cross $600m thanks to CBM fatigue and China.

Why should Wonka necessarily beat it even just domestic?

Wonka is the type of movie to be picked up by TikTok which in this day and age means $$$.

You could say that about any movie starring someone below the age of 35. There are also plenty of movies that are popular online that don’t end up being big at the box office.

I’m thinking both the mom and the baby get kidnapped early on.

Let’s split the difference: The Marvels $700M+ WW and Aquaman $375M WW

Marvels will probably do even less than this, haha

Still predicting $375M for Aquaman even after the trailer?

There was a rumor a few months ago that (spoiler warning):

Spoiler

Mera spends most of the movie injured in a hospital. But things could have changed in reshoots. Honestly I like your theory better, because it would probably mean we would have scenes with Mera trying to escape with the baby on her own, and she's such a badass character that it's a waste to have her in a hospital bed for most of the movie. Oh well, at least there's an action scene with her guaranteed since it's shown in the trailer...

Okay, I probably like this trailer better than any other trailer I've seen Aquaman in...

 

Might have a contender for the family Christmas present movie...

I mean, just because you make a correct prediction doesn't mean all your predictions will be correct.

 

I thought both Mario and Dead Reckoning 1 would make a billion.

Yes, he can definitely be wrong

 

But if he is correct then there's bragging rights

Now, I am just wondering. What's your reasoning for Aquaman only doing $375M WW? It still has the December release date with two weeks of holidays and minimal competition, so even if it opens low because the DCEU brand is in hell, it could leg out to like $700-800M. It still seems to have the "dumb fun underwater spectacle" that made the first movie so popular.

In hindsight the DR one billion hype was dumb

 

"See. . .now Top Gun made a billion. Do you know who's in that movie? Tom Cruise. Do you also know who's in Dead Reckoning? Oh yeah, also Tom Cruise. Therefore, Mission Impossible will also make a billion"
