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.

Darth is triggered about something and I'm going to find out why!

Are you being serious? Why are you putting a negative spin on Aquaman's domestic boxoffice? This movie crossed 300 million domestically and NONE of the boxoffice experts predicted that it would. This movie is exceeding expectations both domestic and overseas.

Its a Billion dollar movie which didnt hit anywhere near as well domestically.

The only other films I can think of which compare to that are the Fast/Furious franchise.

Except they didnt have 300+ As standard in previous films.

Its not a negative spin, its just analysis of the numbers.

Didnt see you complaining when Golgi used to go on about Civil Wars “poor” box office multiplier.

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.

The numbers prove it.

It hit more domestically than any other part of the world. Come on, Darth. Now you're not even trying. It'll finish around 335-340. Monster numbers for people who thought that the past DCEU films would tarnish it's success.

^ Obviously, Domestic is the biggest market by far Duh.

Im asking why this is struggling domestically to get the same audiences BvS and SS has. Why is it taking so long to get those audiences around (if they do al come around). Its a legit question which you dont seem to like.

WTF are you talking about? It'll pass Suicide Squad by a good margin. BVS? Are you seriously comparing an event film wear Batman and Superman meet for the first time to AQUAMAN? You're trolling now.

Aquaman will be the second highest grossing film behind Wonder Woman. The leggiest super hero film next to TMNT.

Firstly stop freaking out.

Second:

Oh... So now suddenly its not a fair comparison comparing an Event film to a first solo outing.. Hmm funny you didnt see it that way every time you were comparing box office of Marvels first few films to the DCEUs...

Anyway, in this case, of course im comparing given this is the DCEUs biggest film to date by far. First Billion dollar movie and all.

Im just asking why it didnt perform proportionately domestic. You dont have to freak out over legit analysis/questions.

Wonder Woman stomped Aquaman domestic, but underperformed (relatively) internationally. Which is why it didnt reach the Billion dollar mark as well. No harm in analysing why is there?

You and Juggs need to take a chill pill.

You just said BVS and ss. Aquaman will do better domestically better than those two. Aquaman was never going to do 500 domestically or 600. You're not making any sense,Darth.

Oh jeez just saying Aquaman would have done even better if the previous DCEU films had been better received.

It would have done better domestically at least. So it actually does make sense. If you take your WAN BEST DIRECTOR EVER goggles off for a second.

Its not even an insult to Wan or Aquaman. Wan has single handily put the DCEU back on track, so much so that all the talk of reboots have stopped.

That's not really how the box office works. We now see this because of the insane legs Aquaman has. You really have nothing to prove on this matter. It's just opinion.

According to Forbes, Aquaman is having a strong domestic hold, so the movie is clearly NOT struggling. AM will do over the average DCEU movie and will be the 5th biggest solo movie of all time.

With $1.1 million on Tuesday, Aquaman may hold off the whole "under $1m-per-day" thing until next Monday (or it may drop today, on its 34th day). If it holds off until Monday, that would be on its 39th day, which is about on par with The Dark Knight, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and The Jungle Book (day 41) and slower than the likes of Rogue One (day 35) and The Last Jedi (day 34) despite much larger opening weekends ($155m in 2016 and $220m in 2017). For those keeping track, Spider-Man, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Jurassic World all dipped below $1m in daily domestic grosses on day 46, while Wonder Woman held on until day 47. Black Panther, Frozen and The Avengers held out until day 53 while Jurassic Park and Shrek 2 dropped on day 55.

Oh, and as for Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace? That leggy summer blockbuster didn’t dip below $1 million a day until its 62nd day of release. It took Titanic 102 days to dip below $1m per day, occurring just days before it would lose the weekend box office crown to Lost in Space exactly 20 years ago. It took Avatar 81 days to dip below $1m just after it lost its IMAX screens (and many of its 3D screens) to Alice in Wonderland at the beginning of March of 2010. Oh, and it took The Greatest Showman 36 days to dip below $1m per day, which is insane when you consider the movie had a $2.4m opening day. But that's a conversation for next week (or tomorrow).

Aquaman has earned $307.852 million domestic after 33 days in theaters. It should enter its sixth weekend with around $310m domestic as it tries to earn around $6m over the weekend for a new $316m domestic cume. At that point, it'll be right in between Iron Man 2 ($312m in 2010) and Iron Man ($318m in 2008) among comic book superhero movies. Moreover, it'll have sold more tickets than Man of Steel even when adjusted for inflation, while extending its weekend-to-final multiplier to an absurd 4.35x. Once it gets to $319m, it'll have earned 4.4x its $72.5m opening weekend (counting the sneak previews) and be officially leggier than The Legend of the Lone Ranger ($12.6m/$2.9m in 1980), The Crow ($50.6m/$11.7m in 1994) and Sky High ($64m/$14.6m in 2005).

While it may not get much farther than $330 million, that would be enough to push it past Deadpool 2's $324m cume, counting Once Upon A Deadpool along with Suicide Squad's $325m cume and possibly Batman v Superman's $330m finish. That would also, in terms of post-debut legs, push it past Superman III ($59m/$13m in 1983) to be the eighth-leggiest comic book superhero movie of all time. It would be ahead of Batman Begins ($206m/$48m in 2005), The Amazing Spider-Man ($262m/$62m in 2012), Spider-Man ($403m/$114m in 2002), Wonder Woman ($413m/$103m in 2017), Black Panther ($700m/$202m in 2018) and Blade ($70m/$17m in 1998).

Box Office: 'Aquaman' Is The Leggiest Comic Book Superhero Movie In 25 Years

So, yeah, it's not struggling at all.

Of course its my opinion.

In terms of facts though: Urm lowest opening Weekend of the DCEU? Like by far, not even by a little. In fact the OW for these films has been getting lower and lower since BvS. Fact. That has “fighting off stench” written all over.

Of course with such a lower opening weekend it should have better legs. (Unless you are a JL level flopster). Case in point, its legs were not nearly as impressive as Black Panthers.

You're only looking at competition with legs. Strong legs equals strong domestic performance. I'll take all the articles I posted as fact. Not your opinion.

You also fail to mention that AM had a lot of competition, which is why is did 60 plus OW. Doesn't really matter, thought. It performed above expectations domestically. More than most MCU movies and DCEU. Insane.

Lowest opening weekend of the DCEU, and the DCEU openings going lower and lower since BvS IS A FACT.

Oh so now it was low because of the competition. Funny because you dont bring that up when talking about its legs.

The fact that It had such a low opening for a DCEU film that it was bound to have better legs.

Also you still dont get that im not dissing the films performance. Im dissing the stench the previous films left behind that Aquabro had to fight off.

Yes. you need to include all the context. Even campea brought this up about AM opening with so much competition. No need to get salty

Funny thing is, BVS opened with a much bigger OW, but ultimately get passed by AM. Its the Wan factor. 😉

And just because you open lower, doesn't guarantee a movie having insane legs like AM. AM has the highest multiplier of any modern comic film and that's a fact.

Its pretty clear whose salty here. Probably the guy who cant handle a bit of DCEU criticisim. And never could.

Remember when I said no one wanted Justice League yet and you laughed me off? Lol

You should know by now that Im usually more right than you on these things.

And FYI, my Aquaman review >>> than yours.

Not really. I've criticized DECEU, too.but your opinions dont make any real sense. The numbers do not lie, my friend.
