It really is doing better than expected.

It's now expected to open above 90 million.

It will likely outgross lifetime totals of BvS, WW and Justice League in 4 days.
It will be the largest Dec opening in local currency.

Something seems off about that fence.

Good, this is how you build your brand DC. Glad they finally got it together,

Still a massive question mark as to what they will do with Batman or Superman, their (arguably) biggest characters.

A movie with freaking Superman, Batman & Wonder Woman is getting beat by a movie about a man talking to fish?

A movie with Wonder Woman already beat a movie with Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. I really hope we hit a point where "X grosses more than Justice League" stops being worth a mention.

At this point I'm glad interest in DC movies does exists outside of Batman and Superman.

Opens on the 12th in the UK so will be at the first matinee. Not expecting anything above an average Marvel origin story but we'll see.

Watched it yesterday. Theater was half full.

It was alright. Entertaining I guess but also dumb as hell. 6/10 best dc movie so far.

Does China's giant population + the fact that if a movie is popular everyone goes see it result in this mega blockbusters getting crazy box officer numbers?

Making Aquaman a "splash" despite the terrible reception of the previous DCEU movie, Justice League, the dismal rep of the DCEU in general, & the hokey mainstream rep of the Aquaman character, gives James "Chosen" Wan yet another blank check to throw on the pile.

I'm glad/hopeful the DC/WB is straightening this shit out now. Shazam! only got's one shot at mainstream success. He needs this movie. Not to mention if positive Aquaman buzz gives Shazam!/(Captain Marvel) the rub to compete with Marvel's officially Captain Marvel.

Look how it's worded "Record WB opening"
It's not "biggest opening" or "biggest superhero opening" it's biggest WB opening.

Warcraft made huge numbers in China but there was also a promotion involved.
I don't really trust their Box Office numbers, but huge numbers always look great.

Wasn't the highest grossing movie of all time in China about mer-people?

Maybe they just really like fish-people movies?

THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT

but i would not pitch him as the antagonist of BP. i'd have him solo a movie, then build up pressure between Wakanda, Oklahoma Asgard, Atlantis and a new kingdom and make a War of Four Kingdoms event movie

Congrats on the newborn :3
I am aiming to watch it on thursday after work myself.

thanks! i will be missing lots of great movies - spider verse, bumblebee, aquaman - but my wife said we will 100% be dropping baby off at the in laws for Captain Marvel date night

James Wan is a good director and I'm happy he was able to create a good movie that seems to be resonating with audiences.
