Who is Disney/Marvel ? What media 'reports' are you basing this on ? And do you think the above entities care about box-office results ? In my opinion, correct me if I'm wrong...the people who care about Aquaman 2 are Jason Momoa, James Wan, Yahya Abdul Mateen III, and Patrick Wilson. With Wilson the weak link but he's trying...

If it's common sense? Because there is no way that is happening. I would be happy if it was good and did well, but I can see this writing on the wall from very, very far off.

If I had bourbon & branch fortification and was on-point every day like JR Ewing....I wouldn't have missed the auction of the Jock Ewing portrait. Or the Evander Holyfield ear-bite boxing-gloves. They went for $30k and $35k. I'd have wanted to throw down and come up with payments somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axelrod Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Well, I have occasionally been wrong before. I did think the Flash could get to $600-700m. I'm not wrong about this tho' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt I could watch it again from start to finish. To clarify, I thought that before it actually was released and before I saw it. Was kind of a pre-release prediction. Same way this Aquaman thing is a pre-release prediction. Not that I have actually made a prediction for Aquaman beyond "not as big as the first one," which isn't much of a prediction at all. Guess I will throw down an official guess now, and I will guess - given the way DC films have been tanking and the complete lack of enthusiasm - that it might get to $400m WW, maybe closer to $500m if it's actually good.

Obviously the media will continue to lie & smear Aquaman 2. They DESPISE the fact that non-waken A1 is the #1 DC movie. And that A2 is even less waken (jacked Momoa, Mateen III, Wilson...& Wan)...while all the other superhero movies have been waken and FLOPPED.

The advertising has been nothing...the media is blocking it. And it's not like Sound Of Freedom. Because all the 'conservative' sites are blasting A2 non-stop. 'Conservative' and 'Christian' sites...they LIE. They say what we want to hear 95% of the time...to lure us in...and then they BLAST their main target. Like 'Fight For Truth' - seeming so Biblical & Christian - smeared Robert Morris......to spread confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
