If Japan gets a mini breakout of around 30 million, it will surpass Civil War. It's already exceeded civil war international, which is insane.
Native actors in Hollywood get 0.5% representation in this industry. The fact that DCEU's first billion dollar film will be a movie starring a Polynesian actor is nothing short of groundbreaking #Aquaman

James Wan to become the first director who owns two ¥2 billion level Hollywood titles in China! Can't wait for your next work~ #Aquaman
Wan is king. Cant wait for the next conjuring. 😛
Warner Bros. and DC Films' Aquaman earned another $1 million yesterday, meaning that it'll probably start earning under $1m -per-day by Tuesday. I guess that means this will be one of the last daily updates, barring various benchmarks and milestones. Speaking of which, with $294m domestic heading into the weekend, the James Wan-directed adventure is going to almost certainly pass $300m domestic on Saturday (or at like 12:04 am on Sunday). At a glance, we're probably looking at a $9m Fri-Sun/$13m Fri-Mon weekend for a new cume of around $307m by Monday night.So it's certainly passing $311 million to A) top Man of Steel in inflation-adjusted earnings and B) be the leggiest comic book superhero movie since Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ($135m from a $25m launch) in 1990. At this juncture, if it can withstand M. Night Shyamalan's Glass (and the surprisingly robust business of The Upside and Dragon Ball Super: Bolly), it'll have comparatively clear sailing until The LEGO Movie 2 and What Men Want on February 8. That applies for the other Christmas releases as well (Mary Poppins Returns, Bumblebee, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, etc.), but for Aquaman, it may mean the difference between passing Iron Man ($318m in 2008) and passing Deadpool 2 ($324m, counting Once Upon A Deadpool) and Sucide Squad ($325m in 2016).
Either way, once it passes Iron Man, it'll be (sans inflation or 3-D bumps), the fifth-biggest solo superhero origin story ever behind only Deadpool ($363 million), Spider-Man ($403m), Wonder Woman ($413m) and Black Panther ($700m). The likes of Batman v Superman ($330m in 2016), Guardians of the Galaxy ($333m in 2014) and Spider-Man 3 ($336m in 2007) may be a bridge too far, but we'll see how well it holds onto theaters (and audience interest) between now and February. Worldwide is a slightly different conversation.
The film will have around $1.045 billion worldwide as of yesterday, with a likely new global cume over/under $1.075b by Monday. That'll put it in striking distance of The Dark Knight Rises' $1.084b cume (in 2012 and sans 3-D) to make it the biggest DC Comics flick of all time. And when it passes the Chris Nolan threequel, it'll be the biggest solo superhero movie save for Iron Man 3 ($1.215b in 2013) and Black Panther ($1.346b in 2018). Fun fact: once it passes the unadjusted cume of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest ($1.066b in 2006 sans 3-D), Amber Heard's Aquaman will have grossed more than any of Johnny Depp's copious global hits.
That's totally arbitrary trivia, but it's interesting nonetheless. And it has already earned more overseas (partially thanks to that $290 million haul in China) than any Time Warner/Warner Media flick save for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II ($960m in 2011). It has already outgrossed every superhero movie overseas save for Iron Man 3 ($805m in 2013) and the first three Avengers movies ($895m in 2012, $946m in 2012 and $1.369b in 2018). Your move, Captain Marvel...
Nah, expectations were around where it said it would be. Actually a little higher. MCU has many films that did monster overseas, but lower domestic. AM did fantastic numbers and strong holds. That's a fact.
If it had the stench like you were saying, it wouldn't have had insane legs like it did. No spinning this, Darth.
^ Legs comes from WOM.
Youre right there is no way of spinning this, the only DCEU films this is beating domestically is MOS and JL. So whats gone wrong? Why havent all the people who saw BvS and SS domestically given this a chance?
No spinning, theres clearly some stench left over from previous films, Domestically at least. It seems the DCEU Domestic box office crashed with JL, and is recovery now with Aquaman.
And the WOM was positive. Just because it didn't make as much as SS doesn't mean that there was left over toxic views from past DCEU films. And there is nothing you can do to prove that.
If there was toxic left over, AM wouldn't have had the legs it did. Some of my co-workers didn't see the film yet, but that was because they weren't interested in the character or not into comic book films in general. Not because of your reasons.
I keep on telling you that you need to consider each movie it's own entity. But you never learn.

Senor Cage, was there some post I missed? Or you just... changed your mind when the film made cash that YOU don't earn? lol
My boy made it to the exclusive billion dollar club. You gotta tip your hat, even though you may have not liked it as much. I liked it better the second time, though.
