Zakiyyah6 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 1 hour ago, Manny G said: What’s up with this ridiculous obsession about beating Venom? The movie is pulling extraordinary numbers. I mean 3 weeks ago the discussion was it is going to make more than $120M total, now the discussion is how far beyond $250M will it go. You’re acting like a spoiled brats. Because people have unrealistic expectations for all DC films. It's why supposedly all DC films have to gross a billion but there is no such expectation for any other comic book franchise. Aquaman is doing great in China but it's disappointing because it isn't going to beat every import ever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People didn't have high expectations with Aquaman. $100m was the common prediction. I know you DC fans love to be victims but you are not. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't defend the bad quality of most DC films, which is why some Snyder fans hate me, but I'm not going to lie. How some people judge the box office of these films is weird. I routinely read that Suicide Squad flopped because it didn't make a billion. It's a bad movie but it in no way flopped at the box office.

That has nothing to do with Aquaman getting compared with venom. But I understand. Edited December 16, 2018 by Premium George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquaman does not have to beat Venom to be a major success in China. Aquaman has already made far more than in China than anyone predicted. Moving the goal post is silly.

Yesterday it had 74.4m at 3pm Today its at 76.6m at 4pm, keeping in mind that it's sunday and the evening is not as strong I think 140m might be a bit optimistic.

And what might have started some of the reactions How strong to weight certain wordings can be a cultural thing, so maybe the original posts meant it in another way, but to me it sounded very dramatic / over the top (~ failure post) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a mcu loonie. Everyone else wants this to do good. Zakiyyah is not wrong that Suicide squad was called flop by multiple posters, but I don't see anything such with Jason.

I have not even a feeling how Dman7 wrote, as in it didn't make me crinch enough to make me remember it. Its not about to want it to do good its about how to interpret the dailies and how to react to that (it is a DC or Aquaman fan I guess. At least before watching it).

POTUS 2020 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) 2 hours ago, pepsa said: Yesterday it had 74.4m at 3pm Today its at 76.6m at 4pm, keeping in mind that it's sunday and the evening is not as strong I think 140m might be a bit optimistic. Looks like 125-130m. Good hold, it must be skewing younger. It could drop 70% tomorrow but still stay ahead of Vm dailys and gain ground. key hold will be tues, looking for -10%, and Friday could be +20 to +50%, depends on show count I will update chart after I see today's estimate and PS for tomorrow As per earlier posts. We are comparing to Vm because the final total will be close. Some will want Aq to beat it, others will want it to fall short, no different then sports teams. I realized that if you refresh a page after a post, it posts again.

a2k Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) 125-130 Sunday will give it ~375 weekend, 42-43% drop from it's huge ow. Goes over MI6's China total I think in 10-days flat. RPO will fall next week. SHould at least beat JW2 in the end if not Venom. Edited December 16, 2018 by a2k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepsa Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Also something to keep in mind is that there were people who called IW flops or not impressive so I don't think it's only DC movies (although they have it worse) who get this treatment. There will always be people who don't like a movie/name/brand and find ways to make it seem bad. Because you remember that 1.4B avengers flop? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
