Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom in china
Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom, also known as Aquaman 2, is set to release at the China box office tomorrow. Despite facing some challenges, the buzz surrounding the film remains high, surpassing the pre-booking sales of The Marvels and The Batman. However, it may fall short in comparison to The Flash. Let’s take a look at the advance booking updates!
The first installment of Aquaman, starring Jason Momoa, was a massive success, crossing the billion-dollar mark at the worldwide box office. The film was released in China prior to its domestic market, receiving a highly favorable response. Word-of-mouth played a significant role in its impressive pre-booking sales of $291.80 million.
However, Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom is facing several challenges this time around. Multiple delays have impacted the initial buzz, and negative reports about re-shoots and role reductions have made some audience members lose trust. Additionally, Amber Heard’s defamation case with Johnny Depp has led to boycott demands from a section of cine-goers.
According to trade analyst Luiz Fernando, Aquaman 2 has generated $296K in advance booking collections on Monday. Between December 19 and 25, the film has accumulated total pre-booking sales of $977K. These numbers are slightly higher than The Marvels ($948K) and The Batman ($957K). However, The Flash currently leads with $1 million during the same period.
With one more day left for pre-booking sales, it remains to be seen where this James Wan directorial will stand in terms of advance booking collections in China. Additionally, there will be previews on Wednesday that will contribute to its total earnings before the official release.
As of now, Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom has already secured 91K screenings for its opening day, with an additional estimated 30K screenings in the next 24 hours. Furthermore, over 3K previews have been booked so far.
Aquaman 2 features a star-studded cast including Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Nicole Kidman, Patrick Wilson, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. The film is scheduled to be released in the United States on December 22, 2023.
