Warner Bros. Pictures
DC Entertainment

Arthur Curry continue to make waves as it spends its third week at the top of the boxoffice, and crossing a few milestones along the way.

Grossing an estimated $30.7m this weekend for a total of nearly $260 million, the film has now surpassed the domestic total of Justice League’s $229m and is on track to swim past Man Of Steel’s $291m sometime next week.

Domestically, a likely finish above Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ($330 million) and Suicide Squad ($325 million) is not out of the question.

Globally, the James Wan-directed superhero origin film crossed the $900m mark with Japan yet still to open in early February. In total, the film has now surpassed $940 million after adding $56.2 million from international grosses.

$681M of that came from outside of North America, putting the film above The Dark Knight Rises as the highest grossing DC film overseas ever.

All these numbers perfectly positions the film to cross the $1 billion gross sometime next weekend or a few days after that, making “Aquaman” the first film in the DC cinematic universe to achieve that milestone.

With the massive success of “Avengers: Infinity Wars” and “Black Panther,” its really not a surprise that Disney has emerged as the top studio at the global boxoffice.

According to Variety, Disney raked in $7.33 billion at the global boxoffice in 2018, nearly matching the $7.61 billion record it achieved in 2016.

I want to especially acknowledge Marvel Studios’ pivotal year during which Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War sparked conversation and broke records and expectations to cap an unprecedented first decade for this exceptional studio,” studio chairman Alan Horn said in a statement.

Coming in second is Universal with $1.96 billion, driven mostly by its dinosaur adventure “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.” This narrowly beats the $1.93 billion earned by Warner Bros as the studio’s own film “Aquaman” is ringing in the New Year as the top film worldwide.

Stranger Things Season 3 Teaser, Episodes And Release Date

Posted on by

By Armando

Expectations are high on the upcoming season after the success of season 2. With the production fully under way, Netflix releases a teaser video with the titles for all eight episodes of Stranger Things Season 3.

Although the teaser video does not provide any footage from the season, it has been confirmed that there will be eight episodes.

Here are the episodes of the upcoming season 3 of Stranger Things:
“Suzie, Do You Copy?”, “The Mall Rats,” “The Case of the Missing Life Guard,” “The Sauna Test,” “The Source,” “The Birthday,” “The Bite,” and “The Battle of Starcourt.”

The third season is said to be set in the summer of 1985, one year after the events of season two , and, according to David Harbour, is said to be influenced by the 1985 action-comedy Fletch.

You can then speculate what could possibly make an appearance during the season and music played in the airwaves during that time.

Set in fictitious Hawkins, Indiana, the series is a huge breakout success for the streaming giant.

But fans will have to wait a bit longer because unlike season 2 which premiered in the fall, the third season is said to play in summer of 2019. The first two seasons of “Stranger Things” are currently available to stream on Netflix.

Marvel has released the first official trailer for Avengers 4. And with it comes the reveal of the title, teaser poster and release date. See details below.

“We lost friends, we lost family. We lost part of ourselves. This is the fight of our lives,” Captain America says in the trailer of Avengers: Endgame, released on Friday.

Among the Avengers characters that are presumed killed as Scott Lang/Ant-Man who was absent in the Infinity War movie. But now the character is revealed towards the end of the new trailer and may possibly hold the key to universe’s survival (in “Ant-Man and the Wasp” post-credits scene, Ant-Man was in the quantum realm while the world disintegrate).

“Avengers: Infinity War” broke plenty of boxoffice records and has become the highest grossing film of the year with over $2 billion boxoffice gross worldwide.

Originally scheduled for release on first weekend of May, Avengers: Endgame is now set for release on April 26, 2019.
