And the funny thing is that everyone is actively discussing all movies on here, which I think is perfectly fine, but I expect radio silence about Aquaman. (I’m still going to see it but not before The Color Purple and a few others).
I'm not sure you've been paying attention then. The ranking on Aquaman has been extremely vocal. Especially for a Disney forum. And it's been happening for a while now. Is it as prevalent as the marvels or wish or any of the other Disney films? No, of course not, as it shouldn't be.
Oh, I’ve been paying attention but thanks for your little scolding.
It's not a scolding. It was being talked about just a bit ago in the marvels thread. The movies going to be a bomb. We've been saying it for a long while now. You're trying to make it seem that everyone who's been critical of Disney, isn't critical of anyone else. But that's just not true.
Aquaman (and the DCU) are examples of how low box office returns are not just a Disney problem.
Yeah I haven’t been to the Marvels thread since the Marvels opened but thank you for the info.
All superhero movies stink equally IMO
Not at all true.
I saw it tonight, not even going to put this into a spoiler tag, the whole movie is one big ripoff of MCU films wrap in a layer of DC lore. The ending especially is essentially the ending to Black Panther and Iron Man rolled into a single 5 minute scene, they don't even try to hide it.
The DCEU’s been a chaotic mess since its inception, and the studio has very clearly moved on from this series, accepted it as dead, and are releasing it out of contractual obligation. It’s been a dead man walking franchise for a few years now.
I haven't heard anyone gloat about either failing, just the same people predicted both would flop (I haven't heard anything about Aquaman's box office performance yet, though).
DC movies outside of Batman (some of them) have been usually on the middling to very bad side. Aquaman?
He's one of my least favorite characters. But Cavill really was great in the roll. If they could have shaved off 30/40min off the film it could have been great. It's still one of my favorite trailers of all time.
It did just hit theaters, after all. For the record, Thursday night previews brought in $4.5 million, which is a little bit more than Wonka brought in the same day, and less than half what The Flash's Thursday previews made -- not good.
Poor Things is still only playing in about 800 theaters… I expect the number of theaters to grow as we get closer to Oscar NominationsMerry Christmas, gang!
Box office is out for the weekend leading in to Christmas Day. Disney doesn't have much going on box office-wise this weekend. Poor Things from Searchlight opened wide in 11th place, behind a film that I assume is Indian called "Dunki". And Wish never got a holiday bump after schools let out, it’s in 13th place behind that Trolls movie.
