Aqua man is a much needed success for DC

Wonder how much Aquaman can increase this weekend? It's become quite a story - one I didn't totally foresee given the positive but not glowing critic response.

Pretty sure Aquaman is gonna decrease from its opening... but hopefully that drop is sub-30%.

If it keeps following Jack Reacher's daily pattern, which it actually has been, it would make about $55 million for the weekend. I think it'll slow down a little more than that film, but $50+ million is still possible, which would be outstanding and just about lock it for $300 million domestic.

I wonder if theaters were contractual obligated to keep showtimes for Marwen and second act through the holidays. Movies like Grindelwald ended up losing showtimes. I haven’t seen that for the openers and the numbers indicate so too, even if theaters could do better with other movies.

Yeah, it's too bad Grindlewald lost so many theaters cause the first one made decent $$ during the holiday and I noticed the few places showing it on Christmas sold out. Now it won't even pass $160m yeesh

Yep. It's not going to open that big and increase. Not this type of movie. But it will still do really well.

Well why wouldn't they want to keep showtimes for Second Act? Marwen I understand. The former is not doing that bad.

It’s PTA isn’t at the level that it would lose lots of theaters yet, but I would expect a couple fewer showtimes with all the competition.

Mary Poppins did stupendous on Wednesday. Same with Spider-Man.

What demographic is Poppins attracting that makes it daily numbers so consistent compared to Aquaman and Bumblebee? It’s had by far the smallest drops but also smaller increases.

I guess families. Ralph and Grindelwald increased Wednesday.
