Forbes analysts estimate Aqua might break 1B: While highly uncertain and a long swim this assessment is made more likely by the recent prolongation of the Aquarun in China: Aquaman will only be able to make a splash in Japan as from February 2019 this completing his Aquadance in Asia where it started.

I hope it hits the Billion dollar amount, not because I'm a fan of the character or rooting for the film, but because how awesome would it be if the character that constantly gets shit on for decades has a movie that grosses a billion dollars world wide?
All the jokes about him being "Gay" or lame and the whole HURR DURR HE TALKS TO FISH! HURR HURR!!111 attitude that always plagued the playground growing up. All of that and his film ends up being a huge hit? That would be amazing to me.

It just might soar. But for now the little wins are what counts, and little wins there are: Not too disastrous. Do the Aquadance.

I am curious on what the 2nd weekend % drop will be. It should go a long way in telling us what type of legs it will have.
Edit: Here's to hoping for a low drop. I had a couple of problems with Aquaman, but nothing that couldn't be reworked in 2 sequels . Hoping for a Aquaman trilogy.

One Billion here we come:
Aquaman has set records in New Zealand (that's an island on the right down-under side of Austria or Australia I believe) this week with the highest Boxing Day opening of all time: It made an ass-whopping $726,000 in its opening day on approx 111 screens.
The results marked the highest Boxing Day opening of all time in New Zealand. Joel Pearlman, Co-CEO of Roadshow Films says, "The Boxing Day results prove that Aquaman is king of the box office as well as the seven seas."

Would you like to make a friendly wager on its chances at a billion?

very happy for Aquaman's success so far (really hope it crosses a billion at the box office) . James Wan is such a cool director and while I did have some issues with the film , overall it was entertaining as hell. Jason Momoa deserves a lot of credit too (all his hard work and preparation to be Aquaman has definitely paid off) .

I guess people underestimated this movie. As they did with Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle and Venom.

Fun fact, if you do not like Aquaman, your mom just might: - Women over 25 at 21% give Aquaman its best gender score of 84%. - Moms are out-numbering dads in attendance, 52% to 48% (there is a grown-up love story between Jango Fett and Nicole Kidman that is mostly aimed at females) Aquaman will likely hit $750M WW by Sunday, eclipsing the entire global life of the overperformer Suicide Squad ( $746,846,894) as well as of Justice League ($657.9M) or MoS = Worldwide ($668,045,518).In any event it's already more profitable than most movies in that range. The movie is doing best abroad, outside US (especially the Middle Kingdom being the splashiest Aquahub!). Australia dived in on December 26 with the biggest DCEU opening ever and the top start for WB in 2018; New Zealand Aqua was the biggest opener in their film history. France‘s 2nd Thursday saw a 128% jump from last week’s opening weekend. Germany ranked No. 1 on Thursday; DC-crazy Brazil ranked Aquaman at No. 1 too. In the US through 10-days Aquaman is bound to total $188.8M (approx 52 M)- which is 10% ahead of Justice League at the same point in time (which ended its run at $229M), 23% ahead of the 10-day cume of Doctor Strange (final B.O. $232.6M) and 7% ahead of Guardians of the Galaxy (final B.O. $333.1M) Finally, Aquaman is only 8% behind the 10-day total of the wonderous Wonder Woman (which was at $206.3M, and finaled at $412.5M) ^ this joke has aged badly...

Well my Mom did go see it with us, but her man is creepily Hugh Jackmen. What do you call a 75 year old cougar. I generally don't know. The first word that popped into my head was Bandersnatch but fuck that's awful. If you want to read me and lenlenlen1 discussing Momoa vs Hugh here's the whole sorted conversation. imdb2.freeforums.net/post/2388682/thread

deadline.com/2018/12/aquaman-mary-poppins-returns-bumblebee-new-years-weekend-box-office-1202526812/Aquaman is heading for an estimated second weekend of $52.1M, -23%, after a second Friday of $17.1M. Through 10-days (with previews), Aquaman is bound to total $189.3M, which is 10% ahead of Justice League at the same point in time (which ended its run at $229M), 24% ahead of the 10-day cume of Doctor Strange (final B.O. $232.6M) and 7% ahead of Guardians of the Galaxy (final B.O. $333.1M). Aquaman is also 8% behind the 10-day total of Wonder Woman (which was at $206.3M, and finaled at $412.5M). Nancy Tartaglione says DC’s fish man will hit $750M WW by Sunday, eclipsing the entire global life of Justice League ($657.9M). As of this minute, Aquaman made $511.8M to date overseas from 78 markets with a WW count of $661.M. Yes, it’s true: Warners has resuscitated DC.

Sta tically and mathematically (and empirically), it's becoming more and more probable that this will break the 1B mark.
