Already made $261 million. This is gonna fly past Justice League. But but but...The Avengers was the MCU's 6th movie and that made over $1.5 billion worldwide (in 2012). Aquaman is the DCU's 6th movie and it might not even make $1 billlion (in 2018).
#FailurebyDCUfanlogic Poor normN clatur resorting to fallacious comparisons. If you want to compare the 2 franchises as equals, then DCEU after 6 movies is ahead of the MCUs first 6 movies world wide totals thus far with DCEU earning 4 billion and MCU 3.8B after IM 1+2, Hulk, Thor 1, Captain America 1 and The Avengers. And all this onsidering Aquaman hasnt even released worldwide yet so that gap will grow.

Your the one making bulshit comparisons. Why compare 6th movie of MCU with 6th movie of DCEU? Why not the 2nd. Or the 4th. Or the 5.5th. The best comparison is how much have each studio made to this point in time now where the DCEU is currently at. That takes into account all variables not just one tiny one u plucked outta nothing

The best comparison is how much have each studio made to this point in time now where the DCEU is currently at. That takes into account all variables not just one tiny one u plucked outta nothing You know that’s a terrible comparison, especially when Batman and Superman have had so many movies, both already had female spinoff projects before the DCEU. DC had 12 movies about its JL characters prior to starting the DCEU. Marvel had 1 movie about an Avenger. Maybe 4-5 if you count the direct to dvd stuff, but if you’re counting that then you can add on another 20 animated films for JL again. That will forever be apples to oranges, especially comparing box office results nearly a decade apart. The only truly apt comparisons are movies coming out right now. WB doesn’t care if Aquaman is less known than a Thor Ragnarok or a Spider-Man Homecoming, they want it to make more money. Why spend 200+m$ planning for second place?

WOW! $120 million? The initial projection was only half that - $60 million.

p.s. Spiderverse was good too.

This will be a perfect experiment to see exactly how much of an influence critics have on Movie box office. Both this and Bumblebee come from long franchises with wildly mixed results, yet one movie opening Friday is substantially better reviewed than the other.

Movies like Venom and Suicide Squad have already proven that critic reviews are largely unimportant to general audiences. It is just another DCU fan myth, invented to explain why people hate their movies.

So you're saying the estimate was $60 million for Thursday night through Sunday and another $60 million for Monday and Tuesday? That doesn't make any sense. The initial OW estimate was $60 million. Now it's doubled to $120 million.

Now it's doubled to $120 million. It clearly states 5 day weekend for the 120. The initial weekend estimate has probably gone up, but that makes Monday and Tuesday Christmas Eve and Christmas, two of the biggest theatre days of the year. 30 mil each day is not out of the ordinary

I doubt this can make 120M opening in a December month. It has the blockbuster potential for it. But there is some very tough competition around the corner.

I do think this will make at least 800 million world wide.

The movie just looks horrible. I do not get it. If it is seriously a good movie, then I will be shocked. It sure doesn't look like it. It looks like a CGI fest and even though Jason is a cool guy, he is not the best actor.
