At this rate Aquaman might catch Captain America: Civil War. What were we trying to prove here?

Not gonna happen, but I'm sure they've both made enough to get a sequel.

They’ll need to squeeze in a big name Avenger or two or claim that it’s critical to a major story arc. Aquaman will succeed with little connection to a greater cinematic universe. |

So now money = quality? On another thread, a DC fanboy said it's not about the money given how much money Transformers movies make. So which is it? Is it quality or quantity?

DC better not throw anymore heroes into the next Aquaman, BvS and Justice League couldn't touch Civil War. Looks like they're better off doing a series of one-offs since nobody in their organization is competent enough to build a larger narrative.

You probably didn’t think they could get this far with Aquaman and (probably) Shazam. It would be unwise to underestimate them. Plus Zack Snyder is out and they’re learning from their mistakes. Batman and Superman always will have potential for success. They also can work very well together. I want them to take their time, but a team up should happen eventually. |

This'll do. Like Ant-Man and the Wasp? 😏 You asked about profitability. So yeah Production Budget $162m. World Wide Cume $622m. Even adding in the half production budget for marketing rule of thumb which I don't believe you have to*, but lets go with the most conservative. That would be $162m + $81m that means it needed $486m to break even. So yeah Ant-Man and the Wasp was profitable. *I think adding the marketing budget into the total cost doesn't take into account the marketing revenue that a movie can make. You are adding a cost without adding the positive. Companies pay millions for product placement, advertising deals to use footage for the movie in commercials, and other ancillaries . Also the rule of thumb was figured out by how much ads cost on average to run x the amount of ads run. And this roughly comes out to about half the production costs usually. What if you company owns ABC, ESPN, Family Channel, Disney Channel etc. Those ads are paying yourself. You are moving money from one company to the other. So the estimate doesn't take into fact that if a movie has say 5000 ads on tv in the build up how many of those ads are on stations you own.

Why, are they going to come to my home and make me watch Aquaman again? For the record, I was excited for Aquaman and found it to be a bad knockoff of a Marvel flick. I thought Shazam looked lame at first, but I've come around on it and I'm seeing it Friday. I'm not taking part in a fan war like you. Like Marvel, I know what works and what doesn't work when it comes to superhero flicks; and I'm looking forward to the day WB/DC figures it out, too.

So?
Aquaman needs another 200m to beat Black Panther.
Aquaman needs another complete movie to beat Infinity War.
By the way, these two movies were released the same year than Aquabro.
Anyway, kudos to the made for TV/Marvel knockoff movie called Aquaman for managing to beat a Marvel movie in its same year of its release, Ant Man and The Wasp, ha, ha, ha... how pathetic from a major DC character.
Again, So?
