By the time it hits the states, it'd probably break even.

Guys, should Aquaman come close to crossing the 1 Billion mark don't forget to contact suicide prevention services for NormanClature. We cannot afford to lose yet another poster.

Why don't you be honest with everyone and admit what your opinion of the movie would have been if the MCU had made it under the title - The Submariner? My opinion of the movie would have been the same. Everyone knows yours wouldn't. Hypocritical bias much?  |

It's only a (DC) movie. I gave my first impressions pros and cons in my Aquathread, please see there. |

Awesome! I'm excited to see it. I wasn't impressed by the first trailer but it looks like it's shaping up to be a solid entry in the CBM genre.

152 so far. My concern is that I saw one guess that its only estimated to make 65 mill opening weekend here. That all?
So lets say it makes 65 mill here, another 75 mill worldwide (half of its current 152)... add them up... = 292. That's nice, but monster hit it does not equal.
This movie NEEDS to be successful. If it isn't WB will be hard pressed to consider more DCEU movies. They'll blame box office numbers and the characters instead of their own ineptitude for the lower returns of these movies.

Look at the highest grossing American movies in Chinese box office history. They’re all CGI-fests, reguardless of quality. And some of them underperformed domestically, so it’s great Aquaman is making money, but 1b$ is not assured despite this early success. |

Given their love of Transformers, it will be interesting to see how well Bumblebee performs. |

I think you "might" be missing the point. not half as much as you do by randomly conjuring up an artificial box-office DC-MCU race to sooth your disposition.
Nobody here expects Aqua to come close to Avengers; the movie should only be successful enough so that WB are happy to continue making movies in that very universe.

It is super weird how you've never pointed out the flaw in the logic when numerous DCU Dumbos have been claiming how well the DCU was doing because BvS outgrossed The Hulk and Justice League outgrossed Cap 1. Heck, I'll bet if I could be bothered to trawl through some old posts that you would have been one of the people supporting it.

It grossed $3M in early screenings. Beating out Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle by grossing nearly twice that film's haul from early screening. And we know how well that movie wound up doing. Certainly not a billion but far more impressive than I'm sure even Norm expected, consider what we know now about his feelings towards Dwayne Johnson.
