I think so also. Would give them a head start

If Warner was to move AQUMN, they'd make the announcement during SDCC.

It might do better, but I suspect it would actually harm Aquaman overall.

i don't know if moving will help them but based on the trailers, my bomb picks would be: Mortal Engines; Welcome to Marwen; and Alita BA

consider the possibilty of no bloodbath. there are 8 films set to go wide from dec 14-21. there were 8 films that went wide over the

(imo) there's Mary Poppins and then there's everything else. none of the others really stand out as a strong contender for the Xmas crown

I looked at the same release frame for a non-star wars Dec ('13 or '14, don't remember) and came up with a similar conclusion

I don't think moving the film with the biggest brand recognition to one of the worst weekends of the year makes a lot of sense.

TFRM6 *could* move back a couple of weeks to MLK weekend, but it would be missing out on "younger audiences on Christmas holiday" money

I think ALITA should move of anything but have a feeling Disney wants Fox to push it out before they takeover.

I feel like the main reason to move Aquaman is BECAUSE it has more going for it, some of the other movies would seem like damaged goods

The four that should definitely stay put are Poppins, Holmes, SpiderMan and Marwen, the rest have too much overlap with each other

A movie that's the first choice for many over the holidays isn't going to make more money by moving away from the holidays

and even the lesser ones can probably do better just because of the holiday multiplier than they would otherwise on a different date
