It has beaten the 5 previous DCEU films released in China. Which is easily the biggest market outside the US. But this may also be why it looks like it has done so well so quickly worldwide...it's the only DCEU film to be released in China before the US, so it ascent to close to the $500m does look quick.
In the traditionally 2 other biggest markets outside the US & China - UK and Mexico it's bottom of the 6 films for opening weekends.
Of the other territories available, the opening weekend out of the 6 DCEU films place it
Brazil 5th
Croatia 1st (out of 2)*
Czech Rep 1st*
Greece 4th (out of 5)*
Hungary 1st*
Iceland 6th*
Lithuania 3rd (out of 4)*
Netherlands 4th
Portugal 3rd
Russia 3rd
Slovakia 2nd*
Slovenia 2nd (out of 5)*
South Africa 5th*
Ukraine 1st
Those marked * opened under $1m...in most cases under $500k.
lol not "disastrous" is an understatement bordering on butt sore. It's a Aquaman movie (!) following up on JusticeLeague (!) in December (!!) yet beating MarryPoppins, Transformers, Spiderman (!!!) in the big key markets by a wide margin and having just opened already crossed 500M with a 160-200 budget (!!!!), which is as "spectacular" as the movie itself!!!!1
Do you hear an octopus playing drums under water? Some just can't.
Or speaking of drums, take it this way, Antman2 of the currently most popular CBM franchise (MCU) and following up on the final-act smash Avengers-InfinityWar made $622,674,139 worldwide in it's entire run.
Or put it that way, dead fish, just like raccoon turds, always float at the shallow end of the sea. Aquaman is neither.
