266,400,000 in the foreign box office.
Definitely curious to see how it does domestically.

It apparently took like $13.7 million (including all the Amazon previews etc.) on Thursday. So that's more like $9 million for the actual day itself. Not particularly good.

Well Deadline is estimating $120 million for the 5 day so that would be fairly good.

Say what is the budget again? I recall $160M being thrown around a lot but in that Deadline article I'm seeing $200M.

no official production budget confirmation, but 160-200 is thrown around constantly. Having seen the movie it definitely looks like 200M+. It's B.I.G.
75M+ domestic in December would be good box office, 120M would be gigantic considering the hard competition. But the latter is overly optimistic I think.

Deadline and Hollywood Reporter say 200 million for the production budget. Which I think is believable since WB wanted to trim the budgets down after the Snyder movies were all close to 300 million.

Now $322,100 million without domestic!
Already way over the estimated production budget of 160-200 m and approaching profitability fast if not there.

That's great. I think it's going to do well overall. I can't wait to see it.. hopefully on Sunday.

Almost $365 million with the domestic Friday.
Wonder Woman only did $402 million overseas so this will soon fly past it.

Having that big of a head of steam should elevate the domestic numbers I would think. It has helped other movies from other studios in the past. I know you can't really tell about things that would've happened vs wouldn't have happened, but I think it'll help. If it hasn't happened yet by the end of the weekend Aquaman 2 will be greenlit.

Domestic opening for Aquaman is by the far the lowest ever for a DCEU movie at around 70m. How much damage was done by Justice League? Overseas its a beast.

Domestic opening for Aquaman is by the far the lowest ever for a DCEU movie at around 7 0m. How much damage was done by Justice League? Overseas its a beast. that's nonsense: It's a December release. Aqua has big, mighty competition with Disneys MaryPoppins and Paramount' (SJW critics hyped) Bumblebee and others. And yet Aquaman seems to be the clear winner so far - which is incredible if you consider: it's freaking "Aquaman" the joke of superheroes vs MaryPoppins and Transformers. If the other films beat Aqua's ass you might have had a point, but you don't. www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2018/12/22/box-office-bumblebee-and-mary-poppins-are-no-match-for-aquaman/#14a4c73f65d6Also Aqua already destroyed Justice League, and WW too (overseas). Aqua will never beat WW domestically, and it should't, the latter was a milestone achievement and curse breaker. Aqua is only a damn good action-adventure roller coaster ride. And as you correctly indicate it's already a big hit. A triumph for WB/DC and Mr Wang considering the IP.

That guy with the dinosaur avatar is suddenly conspicuously absent. I wonder why? 10 Caroling 09 Last minute gift shopping 08 Tried imitating his favorite emoji and broke his neck 07 Constructing a life sized gingerbread house 06 Drank Too much egg nog and passed out in a filthy toilet 05 Played Father Christmas and a gang of kids came over and robbed him 04 Tried to spend Christmas in Hollis and got jacked 03 Emojis stopped working on his flip phone and he ended it all 02 His mom told him to get a job so he moved to his Grandma's and she has no internet. And the #1 reason that guy with the dinosaur avatar is suddenly absent conspicuously

Star Wars proved that big openings can happen in December.

Star Wars proved that big openings can happen in December. indeed, Star Wars as the biggest mother-of-all-blockbuster-franchises ever, it's not DC's Aquaman. Um, strike that, clausula rebus sic stantibus: I wonder how much Solo would have flopped this year if they had actually put it next to Aquaman? Pains me to say, as I am a massively bigger SW and ST fan than DC. Anyway, we do not really have a bone of contention here. We can agree to speculate that Aqua would have presumably have a even higher US BO start (i) without the lukewarm Justice League reception and/or (ii) without the fierce family film competition and/or (iii) on a statistically more blockbuster-friendly summer release day, and that in any event this is a box office smash already. MarryPoppins is "underperforming" because it's a bland, unimaginative retread with mediocre songs (and Disney ruined it with "I'm Maryr Poppins ya'all" and CarryPoppin's-merry-flight-through-space). Bumblebee is "underperforming" because, while far, far, far the best Transformers film, it's an unremarkable ET/ShortCircuit -rip off with a lot of SJW-elements and sentimentality forced into it. And bc of AQUAMAN being the biggest and imaginative freaking action-fantasy movie of the year. We will never settle the TPM is the best Prequel argument though. You will burn in SW hell for this, forever.

TPM is the better movie of the prequels.
