Gatsby77 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Makes sense. I think $325M's still a stretch but Mendelson's not off base, given that Aquaman's now pacing $3.8M ahead of Suicide Squad, which ultimately finished with $325M. And given the poor reviews, I think Glass will play like a typical horror movie and make the vast majority of its revenue this weekend and then dropping off.

MLK weekend typically a good one, so should be looking at $305MM thru next Monday which will make $325MM+ look much more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastballspecial Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Hard not to like Jason M. after you watch his video of going home to Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skypinkblu Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Went to see Aquaman with some non comic book friends (including my husband). We all loved it:) I do have to see it again because there was so much going on at once. There were holes in the plot for sure, but it's a COMIC movie, so I was not surprised. I was surprised to like Jason M so much. He was not my ideal Aquaman. Larryw7, Gatsby77 and WolverineX 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 With some tracking sites delayed in updating China box office results, there's a little bit of variance. Just a tad. Looks like kicking off a release schedule outside the USA before bloggers and critics can do their damage worked this time around. fastballspecial 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be surprised if the largest investors of the film were from China (individuals or corporate) and that they made releasing the film in China first a stipulation for their funding.

I take it you never saw Stargate Atlantis or the Conan Reboot I am not defending his early movie choices that I am sure he took for pay checks. If you watch the video on You Tube I think you will find it hard not to like him. I didn't know anything about it, but after watching it made me like him a lot more.

Popular Post ComicConnoisseur Posted January 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2019 Just came back from this. What a great movie! We need a sequel. Who would have thought both Wonder Woman and Aquaman would have beaten Batman vs. Superman at the box office? Reminds me of Deadpool and Guardians of the Galaxy beating Fantastic Four and X-Men at the box office. kav, 1950's war comics, Larryw7 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComicConnoisseur Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Going forward mainstream will never think of this as Aquaman again. now only the modern superior reboot! This is like how silver age Flash Barry Allen and Green Lantern replaced Jay Garrick Flash and Alan Scott Green Lantern. Well done job WB making Aquaman modern again.

Capn17 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Saw it over the weekend. Wife liked it more than I did. Action scenes were at times hard to follow. Forced humor didn't work in most cases (writing? or actor delivery? or both?). Plot holes galore. Special effects were top notch. Step above Justice League is about the best thing I can say about it.

Hadn't seen that, but just looked it up. Very sweet. Growing up in Iowa I could relate. Now I may just have to go watch the movie.

theCapraAegagrus Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Saw this for a 2nd time last night. Orm's helmet is seriously so stupid. I don't understand why they did this. It distracts from an otherwise visually stunning film. It's nonsense. One of the jump scares actually got me again. It was still very entertaining this time around. Good re-watch value mostly for its visuals, Curry's humanity, and Mera's beauty. Andahaion and kav 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRaven Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Totally floored by how popular this movie proved. Gives me hope that the comic book movie genre isn't on the decline as long as studios are ready to move beyond the standard characters and make a quality product. If Warner can produce a few more of these, then perhaps we might actually have the foundation of a DCEU instead of relying on the tried, true, and boring Batman/Superman duo as the core pillar.
