This one falls just short of being dead last in the DCEU for me, with BvS holding that honor. Of course, I saw the preview for Shazam which has already told me to hold it's beer.

$100M domestic (or close) as of Christmas Day, and up to $500M worldwide.

Considering JL topped out at $657M, I'd say WB must be happy with the numbers. Should be able to surpass it with the good word of mouth. (In comparison to JL at least.)

I bet we get a sequel announcement sooner than later.

We may go see this on Friday. I'm still fascinated by it purely from the spectacle of it based on reviews here.

I will wait for Shazam on whatever free movie service ultimately gets it. That looks terrible.

Zachary Levi is awesome, so I was hoping Shazam could be good...

I'm not sure why people think Shazam looks bad. It's clearly oriented at teens given who Billy Batson is, and they've barely revealed anything of the movie except 3 jokes and that Mark Strong is a buff Dr. Sivana

Pretty serious. The trailer had good social media reactions, the movie seems funny, geared towards families, and it didn't really give much away.

Slap a Marvel sticker on that baby and it's a 99% on rotten tomatoes guarantee, but since critics won't be able to cash their Disney Bux on this one, it'll probably end up with critical reception between Aquaman and WW and do decently at the box office.

The Last Jedi sure lived up to its ratings

Disney doesn't need to buy reviews for The Last Jedi to make a gazillion dollars.

Wasn't talking about the $$$$ performance overall, but iirc TLJ made significantly less money than TFA.

I honestly don't think it quite reaches $1B, but that's a massive, smashing success if it even comes close. Not even WW made that

Just got back from this one.

Agreed with everyone above, script was trash. Went for a lot of RDJ Ironman 1/2 type humor for Mamoa and whiffed most of them.

But cmon - there's dudes riding sharks shooting laser beams and ***** Once the action got started and the quest began, it was a fun ride.

Not that it's worth much, but I can't wait for all of the GIFs to come from this movie.

I just read that there is an octopus playing a drum solo in this movie.

I'm in for the idiocracy. May go to see it today.

It was a truly prequel-like moment. I can't believe more people haven't blasted that.

Wow, maybe it CAN get to $1B. Already up to $615M. Money seems to be pouring in over the holiday corridor.

Maybe I'm just different but it makes me want to see it even more. That and men riding sharks into battle.

It's not as awesome or as bad as everyone describes it tbh. It's like a 2 second shot. Not full on Ariel and Sebastian

The movie is kinda ridiculous for exactly the reasons you're mentioning, but it's also a lot of fun.

If you're the kind of person who debates physics in superhero films you probably won't like this one. If you want to see Atlanteans riding battle sharks then this will be your cup of tea.
