84 on Joker Named One of 2019's Most Anticipated Movies in Fandango PollJoker doesn't even have a trailer yet, but it's already one of the most anticipated films of 2019. It made the top ten in a survey that Fandango conducted for USA Today. Of the ten films on the list, Joker, Star Wars: Episode IX, and Spider-Man: Far From Home were the only ones to do so without having an…
Aquaman is showing some real swimmers legs at the box office. After earning $22M at the domestic box office on Christmas, the film followed up with another $16.9M yesterday. Aquaman's global total through Wednesday was $596M, meaning it will top $600M today. A new superhero franchise earning $600M with its debut film is impressive enough, but Aquaman…
Zack Snyder has a delayed holiday gift for Batman fans. The Batman v Superman director shared new photos of Ben Affleck as The Dark Knight on Vero. In his post, Snyder credited Affleck as being the director's "perfect Batman." There is also one other Batman in the photos, Affleck's stunt double Richard Cetrone. Both look great…
We are just over three months out from Shazam!, which means the marketing and publicity campaign will be ramping up soon. In the meantime, we have one new image featuring Shazam (Zachary Levi) and Doctor Sivana (Mark Strong), courtesy of Empire. This looks like the same interaction we see between Shazam and Sivana in the first trailer.…
Aquaman was the preferred choice of merry moviegoers this year. The film made $22M yesterday, making it just the sixth film ever to top $20M on Christmas. The holiday boost lifted Aquaman’s domestic box total to $105.7M. James Wan’s oceanic superhero adventure has kept pace with its initial box office tracking. Aquaman was expected to top $65M…
That's a wrap on Wonder Woman 1984! Gal Gadot announced the news on her Instagram today thanking the nearly 1,000 crew members who helped make the film. She also shared new photos from the set. "We did it. Again!!," Gadot said. "And as much as the first time shooting Wonder Woman was amazing, this time was…
Aquaman has earned $67.4M in its opening weekend at the domestic box office. The film also earned $4.7M in preview screenings before its official North American debut. That gives Aquaman a domestic total of $72.1M heading into the Christmas holiday. The $67.4M three-day opening is short of some ambitious projections, but it is in line with…
Aquaman is swimming right alongside its box office tracking. The James Wan film earned $28M in its first day in North America. That total includes $9M from Thursday night showings. This puts Aquaman on pace for $68M for the weekend. Initial projections had Aquaman reaching $70M to $75M, perhaps even as high as $80M. That the film isn't…
The grade is in and Aquaman has received an "A-" CinemaScore from audiences. CinemaScore surveys Friday night crowds to get their ratings on new releases. Aquaman is the third film in the modern DC Films era (since Man of Steel) to earn an "A-" or better grade. You can see the CinemaScore grades for all six DCEU films below.…
The tide has turned. Once the butt of many jokes, DC's Aquaman is now the cool aquatic hero (I know, he was always cool). Apparently, the world still needs an oceanic character to make fun of and Marvel's Namor has been selected. Namor (Billy Eichner) isn't very happy about it and expressed his frustration on Jimmy…
After hauling in cash all over the world, Aquaman has finally arrived at the domestic box office and in a big way. The film earned $9M on its opening Thursday night. The Warner Bros. and DC Films product easily bested Bumblebee ($2.15M), the other major studio release that opened last night. Aquaman's Thursday night comes in a…
Creating a new franchise is challenging enough, but the difficulty increases significantly when doing so within a larger cinematic universe. It's a balancing act that usually leans in favor of the film at hand, just as it should. Director James Wan was certainly more concerned with building Atlantis than the rest of the DCEU in Aquaman.…
Everyone is pretending that Aquaman is Arthur Curry's first feature film all to himself, but fans of mid-2000s HBO original series know better. Vincent Chase swam into theaters long before Jason Momoa and Chase did it for director James Cameron! Together, Chase and Cameron took down Spider-Man to set a new opening weekend record at the box…
Aquaman has been making waves all over the world on its way to a big domestic opening this weekend. Its financial performance comes as a surprise to those who believed the character was too whacky and cheesy for mainstream audiences. For James Wan, however, owning all of that crazy mythology was the only path to…
Another day, another box office milestone for Aquaman. The film is now up to $201.4M in China making it just the fourth superhero movie ever to cross the $200M mark in the territory. Forbes anticipates the film is mere days away from passing Ready Player One ($218M) as Warner Bros.' highest-grossing movie in China. Aquaman is now set…
Joker has officially completed principal photography. Director Todd Phillips shared the news on Instagram, as he’s done a few times since production began in September. Previous reports had production wrapping a couple weeks ago, but that may just have been for star Joaquin Phoenix or other members of the cast and crew. Joker filmed a lot of…
Aquaman has missed out on perhaps its best chance for an Oscar® nomination. The Academy announced the latest shortlists in several Oscar® categories, including visual effects. Aquaman made the previous cut in the VFX category earlier this month, but it did not survive this most recent round. Ten films remain in contention for the visual effects…
Comic book villains are not generally known for subtlety and nuance. They have a tendency to be over the top, from their costumes to their core personalities. What separates several of the best villains from the rest of the pack, however, is the emotional truth underneath it all. That's what Patrick Wilson wanted to tap…
Jason Momoa is on a world tour promoting Aquaman and he racked up some major frequent flyer miles last week. He started the week in New York after hosting Saturday Night Live before heading to the Philippines and then back to the United States, but on a different coast. Momoa vlogged the whole trip, including a behind-the-scenes look…
Director James Wan had his choice of two major projects when he first met with Warner Bros. about making a DC movie. The studio had several movies on the slate, but no director attached to movies for Aquaman and the Flash. It's the kind of choice that might feel impossible to a DC fan, but…
