Update 2: Aquaman dives deep to a even more diabolical 2nd Weekend of Aquaman has it at $51.5M (-24%, for a 10-day running of $188.8M that’s 10% ahead of Justice League at the same point in time which ended its run at $229M), 24% ahead of the ten-day cume of Doctor Strange (final B.O. $232.6M) and 7% ahead of Guardians of the Galaxy (final B.O. $333.1M). The DC superhero is expected to hit around $210M at the domestic B.O. by New Year’s Day, it has hit $748.8M WW, eclipsing the entire global life of Justice League ($657.9M), MoS and Marvel’s Doctor Strange ($677.7M), AND - most importantly - SUICIDE SQUAD ($746,846,894). Ma man!

A Aquaman solo film just made more money at the box office than a Justice League movie.
Holyshit.
It also beaten a Star Wars film as well.

Well it's already the highest grossing DCEU movie outside of US so it depends how high up it can get domestically. It's last at the moment, it's obvious going to pass Justice League but I don't think it can pass Man of Steel.

Well I originally pegged it a bit over $800m.

Just to provide the big CBM picture: As of today AM sits with $750m global above The Amazing Spider-Man 2 ($709m), Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($714m) and even X-Men: Days of Future Past ($747m). It's likely to beat Batman v Superman ($873 million) to become DC Films’ biggest grosser since Nolan. At its current rate, Aquaman may well top Wonder Woman by the end of this week, and BVS by the end of next week. Meanwhile, it's the fifth largest worldwide release based on a DC Comic and the second largest international release behind only The Dark Knight Rises ($636.8m).

Projection: Aquaman Box Office Heads for $900M WW- Its global total already guaranteeing that Aquaman will fly past $900 million by the end of its run and become the biggest Warner Bros./DC title since Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises. Moviegoers had no trouble sorting Hollywood offerings into the naughty or nice pile this holiday season, with hits like “Aquaman” driving business and new releases such as “ Vice” falling flat. But competition does not sleep in the Middle Kingdom: New local Chinese titles beat Hollywood heavyweights “Aquaman” and “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” at the box office this weekend, with a remake and a panned sequel leading the pack. Meanwhile, expensive Bollywood flop “Thugs of Hindostan” failed to redeem itself in China, with a weak opening weekend marking the first Aamir Khan flop in China in years.

It actually was up against some stiff competition too with Bumblebee and Spiderman. Both movies received praise. I am impressed.

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/threadAh, Vassago, who's mom doesn't live vicariously through the super hero ab's of younger, but legal aged, super hero movie idols? Let mom enjoy while she still can.

Aquaman should celebrate New Year's Day by hitting the $800 million milestone at the global box office. With $751+ million in its till after another massive weekend, Aquaman is now the seventh-highest grossing film of 2018. It will top $770 million today, surfing a tidal wave of positive reviews and audience love. With a few major markets still to come on its schedule -- including Japan, where it should top the $10-15 million average range of previous DCEU -- and strong daily holds in worldwide markets, it could be propelled toward $900 million next weekend and eventually to a likely $1+ billion final tally.
Aquaman is now the third-highest grossing film of the DCEU, behind Batman v Superman's $873 million total and Wonder Woman's $821 million. But it should pass Wonder Woman this week as it heads into the weekend, and then top Batman v Superman (probably on Saturday).

I would even feel better if I had shares in WB, they had a really good year. Even if Aqua crosses 1B end-profitability must be checked (China and Theaters keep a lot), WonderWoman was a killer in this regard as the core box office was in the US thus beating all other 2017 CBMs by far.

Not bad. I fear the end is nigh when an freaking Aquaman film reaches a Billion.

I'm dying to hear what Wan's next move will be. He's going to be in demand, and he should have plenty of options. Fingers crossed that he directs a trilogy like Nolan. Yeah, from what I read he seems reluctant to repeat something big like this. Maybe he's just playing hard to get to get a better position on the negotiation table.

Slow news day (Forbes, Times Now, NY Post): Once Aquaman passes $636 million overseas, it’ll pass The Dark Knight Rises to be the biggest DC Comics earner behind outside of North America. Yes, Aquaman could leg it to $1 billion and/or above the cume of The Dark Knight and of The Dark Knight Rises to become the biggest DC Comics movie ever worldwide. Regardless, once it passes $900m (and it should pass $800m tomorrow or Thursday), it’ll be the third-biggest solo superhero movie ever, just ahead of Spider-Man 3 ($890m in 2007) and well below Iron Man 3 ($1.2b in 2013) and Black Panther ($1.346b). Interestingly, Aquaman is the second highest grossing superhero movie in China after Avengers: Infinity War and had edged past Venom in the middle kingdom. Caveat: To give the big picture: The NewYork Post - the shining light of journalism amongst the garbage-tier tabloids known to investigate facts and subsequently check and recheck them ad nauseam - warns urgently not to be too cheerful: Don't get too exited, don't "overpraise" Aquaman! Interesting read for the resident disheartened Anti-DC troll faction, and a jolly good laugh for everybody else (tip: do a drinking game with every fallacy or misinformation in this article). nypost.com/2018/12/31/dont-get-too-excited-over-aquamans-box-office-earnings/

Newsflash: Battle of the Bros
After he easily swam over the entire Suicide Squad yesterday, Aquaman faced an ever fiercer challenge with an bunch of Guardian assholes blocking his way at junction 772-M. ^ Do the Aquadance!^….Aquaward...! Thus spoke the Aquaman, popped the Guardians dance off bubble and flooded victoriously away. Little does he know that ahead lies an infamously huge raccoon turd at junction 863-M that shall need all his water-kinesis powers to flush it away!
Will he be up for the task? Tune in next time.

A healthy holiday bounty brings Aquaman to $216 million (Tuesday) in North America and over $600 million overseas. “Aquaman” surpassed $822 million at the global box office on Tuesday. The US domestic gross is a big jump which puts Aqua just over Venom ($213m), Solo: A Star Wars Story ($213m) and Ant-Man and the Wasp ($216m). It'll pass Mission: Impossible – Fallout ($220m) today and is now officially WB's biggest domestic (> A Star Is Born) and worldwide (> Ready Player One) release of 2018. Wordwide Aquaman has officially beaten the total of “Wonder Woman”. Aquaman and Wonder Woman parted ways respectfully expressing that they both believe in love and want to remain friends. Once he hits $874 million Aquaman will be the third-biggest DC Comics hero surpassing BatmanvSuperaman. If he passes Jumanji ($962m in 2017), he’ll be the biggest non-Walt Disney and non-Universal/Comcast release since Paramount/Viacom's Transformers: Age of Extinction ($1.1b) in 2014. And if he does sail over the $1b mark, he’ll be the first non-Disney/non-Universal flick to do so in 4.5 years. I thought we were going to have to wait until Wonder Woman 1984 for such a thing. Anyway, however its ends DC laughs last.
