Oh wow that's awesome. About to hit a billi! It'd be cool to see James Wan take on another DC project. I guess Wonder Woman and Aquaman are going to be leading the DCEU from now on. That's kind of exciting.

There are a lot more characters to explore than Aquaman and WonderWoman. DC got an entire B- to Z-stock of them. We will next see the Emanzipation of Shazam and of the the wonderful Harley Quinn and her birds of prey. Hopefully we will finally see Flash films down to Plastic Man and Booster Gold. Maybe Arrow, Catwoman and the likes too if only those damn shows would wrap up.

Looks like they revised the estimates up a couple million.

Good for Aquaman. This movie pretty much threw everything at you except the kitchen sink, it deserves a bit of money in return.

Japan is not a traditional DC home turf. But neither was China. It might make good swim there.

Forbes predicts 'Aquaman' Could Become The Second-Biggest Solo Superhero Movie In History only after Black Panther. It would be a mind blowing success if this could actually make more than $1.2 billion. That's about what Incredibles 2 made this year.

I always thought it was the third biggest money maker for Hollywood As a general movie market, I am sure you are right. But I read in different publications that Japan is not that much into western super hero films (except for Spiderman who is beloved by the kids there). So, the BO prediction for Aqua opening in February is not Chin-tastic.

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? oh sure, I would. I say they are beyond a reasonable doubt closing in on a 100%. What says you? In other news, while we waiting for the prophesy to fulfil, Aquaman passed $700 million putting it past The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies ($700m both overseas in 2013 and 2014). Second, by swimming past the $962m global cume of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Aqua has become the biggest-grossing movie that isn’t a Walt Disney or Universal/Comcast release since Paramount/Viacom’s Transformers: Age of Extinction ($1.1 billion) in 2014.

Civil War? That was essentially an Avengers film plus a MCU-Spiderman Origin film plus Black Panther Origin film combined. If Aquaman surfs over that Disney would try to buy him out to create new Atlantean theme park rides.
But it's possible, as from the 1b mark CW is only 153 m ahead. Glass might underperform due to the critics crapping on it, Japan is still ahead in Feb, and Aquaman has proven to have some perennial fins.
