Aquaman Sets Warner Bros Record for Best Opening Weekend Ever in China

[Cpt-GargameL]

Update:

Aquaman is off to a great start.

Aquaman turned DC's second-best opening night into Warner Bros.' best opening day ever in China! After starting with $1.19M in midnight preview screenings, the James Wan film hauled in a total of $24.6M on its first day in the Middle Kingdom. Aquaman now has a chance to top $80M in its opening weekend in the world's second-largest movie market.

It killed me that I couldn't buy these, as I am seeing Greta Van Fleet in concert that evening.

Nonetheless, I have December 21 off, so I'm 100% gonna see the movie either the night before or the morning of.

Around here Mary Poppins is taking the Dolby spot so I had to settle for IMAX.

It looks incredible.

Out of all things Marry fucking Poppins lol

I had to settle for IMAX 3D. At least it's better than digital/standard format. I'm so hyped for this!

 

[MrPink]

WOM is super strong on Chinese social media. 200m China run is incoming.

 

[TI92]

Will probably see it in January after my vacation if it turns out good. More excited for Spider-Man though 🤩

 

[Doggg]

Empires of the Deep's producers are probably like, "SEE? I TOLD YOU!!!"

 

[Spectromixer]

I got tickets with Amazon Prime

Just read the wiki. Holy shit. That sucks.

 

[Kuro]

My favorite theater is only showing it in IMAX 3D for some reason. Just bizzarre. Can't find anywhere playing it in Dolby either which sucks.

 

[BWoog]

Aquaman's going to beat Justice League at the box office.

What a world.

I picked up 4 tickets for the 15th. But I'll probably see it again in an ATMOS theatre when I go back home for Xmas.

 

[Surfinn]

Did it release early in China? I'm seeing a Dec 21 date for the states.

 

[jon bones]

James Wan is super talented, this comes as no surprise.

I can't watch movies for a bit because I have a newborn but this will be #1 with a bullet on 4K release.

 

[Kalentan]

Wait is it out?

 

[Denamitea]

Looks like people are flooding into theatres for this movie

Congrats to James Cameron.

Seems like it's making a big splash at the box office.

I think it's safe to fathom the thought that Aquaman is going to make waves of money.

I've never seen a movie in dolby or even heard of it. Fanciest I've seen is a 4D movie at a toho cinema in tokyo. What's Dolby?

Venom and Aquaman are now in charge.

The Chosen Wan and Priestess Patty leading us to the promise land.

Time will tell if Saint Sanberg will join them or be revealed as a false prophet.

My local theater is gonna play them all (Bumble, Aquaman, Mary, and Spider Verse) the same day in Dolby.

Click to shrink...

Much higher contrast ratio like going from LCD to OLED you get much deeper blacks and richer color. You also get Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos surround sound which uses ceiling speakers for audio above you. Seats that vibrate with bass too and much fancier leather seats that have buttons which control how they recline.

The screen isn't as big as IMAX or the same aspect ratio but it's a much better experience overall. More expensive too but worth it for me since I'll maybe watch a film once every 2 months.

Didn't WW do it as well? Snyder was a fuck up of planetary proportions.

Who's bright idea was to launch this the same day as Spiderverse in the UK.
