Latest TV spot is up:
So, Orm is Orin's younger brother? Is that how their relationship usually is in the main canon comics? Or does it change depending on the era (Golden Age, Pre-COIE, Post-COIE, New52, Rebirth)?
Because this implies (or I'm inferring) that in the movie, Arthur's mom eventually left Arthur's dad and had a kid with someone else.
Oh, the intrigue! Can't wait to see this!

Yep. That's how it is.

Jason Momoa is supposed to be on the Kelly & Ryan show today. I guess he'll be talking about Aquaman.

That's the way most of these celebrity interviews go. They show a clip of the movie and say a few words about it, but then go off on some unrelated tangent. Originally Posted by Starter Set

AQUAMAN did more than alright for it's debut in China.
$94M for an opening weekend is better than every DCEU movie over there, but does Chinese success necessarily predict American fortune?

I don't know if it "predicts" American success, but any super-positive buzz before a movie opens surely stokes box office returns here. It's happened with some of the Marvel movies, too. Building positive momentum starting with overseas box office returns will result in a great opening weekend in the US. Originally Posted by daBronzeBomma

If Aquaman then lands at number 1 outperforming Mary Poppins, the post-Christmas headlines will be all about that, which will create further momentum for the movie going into the New Year. Lots of people will be off work and school from Dec 25 till Jan 1, so that could mean big things for Aquaman if the dominoes fall the right way.

I think its gonna kill it in America. I use to he worried about the competition but just going on Buzz. Aquaman has like 90% of the buzz I be hearing. Marry Poppins has like none but maybe it's just the circles I'm in and I could be way wrong. Originally Posted by daBronzeBomma

Was a very good film. Most fans will like it. If venom can make money, this will be a hit.

I think the ones who were all doom and gloom for Aquaman were the DC fans. Quite a few seemed to have little faith in Curry.

Are you saying you saw the movie already? Don't spoil it, but feel free to elaborate on your feelings if you've seen it (only the good stuff--don't say things that would be a buzzkill Originally Posted by Shriveling_memo

By the way, we should also mention that Aquaman's $94 million from China makes it the number 1 movie globally for this weekend (Dec 7-9) even though Aquaman only played in that one country.

Aquaman should win the domestic box office, but it might be hard pressed to pass Venom's WW total. China likes bad movies. Originally Posted by Shriveling_memo

https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottme...gue-and-logan/ :
"That said, it has passed or will pass the likes of Ant-Man ($105 million), Logan ($106m), Doctor Strange ($109m), Thor: Ragnarok ($112m), Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($115m), X-Men: Days of Future Past ($116m) and Spider-Man: Homecoming ($116m) today or early tomorrow. Next up will be X-Men: Apocalypse ($120m), Ant-Man and the Wasp ($121m) and Iron Man 3 ($122m). As you can see, there is generally a ceiling in terms of what a solo MCU movie or an X-Men movie can earn."
