DC’s Aquaman has already beaten an Avengers Infinity War box office record, weeks before release

-
With approximately one month to go till its release, DC’s Aquaman has beaten a box office record previously held by Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War. According to a report, Aquaman has become the top pre-seller of all time on Atom Tickets’ website in the US.
Deadline reports that the DC superhero film is outpacing Marvel’s $2 billion grossing film in the first 24 hours of tickets being made available. Infinity War currently holds the record for the biggest opening weekend of all time, with $640 million worldwide and $257 million in the US.
The report adds that Aquaman is pacing ahead of Sony’s Venom, which has gone on to make over $700 million worldwide, on sellers such as Fandango. It is also outpacing Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible - Fallout, which opened to $61 million in the US.
The DC film arrives after a particularly difficult period for Warner Bros as far as their superhero films based on DC characters are concerned. The studio is in the midst of retooling the future of the series, following the disappointing critical performances of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad and Justice League. Both Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck are no longer likely to reprise their roles as Superman and Batman, respectively. Aquaman will arrive in December, followed by Shazam! in 2019. Wonder Woman 1984 was recently pushed to 2020, in favour of a prime summer release date in June.
It has also been reported that Aquaman will be released in India one week ahead of its US debut, on December 14. Warner Bros has been marketing the film heavily, with three trailers released so far, and a special extended preview.
Directed by James Wan, the films stars Jason Momoa and Amber Heard in central roles. They’ll be joined by Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson and Nicole Kidman.

This is the Motorola Moto G7 Power with a 5000mAh battery

Motorola is preparing to launch 4 devices under the Moto G7 brand this year: the  Moto G7, Moto G7 Plus , Moto G7 Play, and Moto G7 Power. Motorola has previously released “Play” and “Plus” variants of their G series devices which are generally lower and higher-end models of the standard device. The new “Power” variant seems to be between the “Play” and the standard model in that it sports mid-range specifications, but it’ll also have a massive 5,000mAh battery that dwarfs the battery capacity of the other 3 models. One model number for the upcoming Moto G7 Power has appeared on the  FCC , revealing the battery capacity, device dimensions, rear design (as shown in the feature image above), and connectivity information. We have also been holding onto information from a reliable source detailing some of the other specifications of the device that we now feel comfortable in sharing. First, here’s what we’ve learned about the device from the FCC. XT1955-4, One of Fo...

Elon Musk’s SpaceX to put 12,000 satellites in orbit

Elon Musk’s company has six years to put half in orbit, and nine years to complete the satellite network. Washington:  SpaceX got the green light this week from US authorities to put a constellation of nearly 12,000 satellites into orbit in order to boost cheap, wireless internet access by the 2020s. The SpaceX network would vastly multiply the number of satellites around Earth. Since the world’s first artificial satellite, Sputnik, was launched in 1957, humanity has sent just over 8,000 objects into space, according to the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs. Between one quarter and one half of those are believed to still be operational. On Thursday the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced it had authorized SpaceX to launch 7,518 satellites, adding to 4,425 satellites it has already approved. None of the satellites has launched yet. SpaceX wants most of the satellites to fly in low Earth orbit, about 208 to 215 miles (335 to 346 kilometer...

Avengers 4 Trailer Will Now Drop On Wednesday Morning

At long last, we can finally put all the  speculation, rumors and false reports to rest , as we now have the date for when Marvel will reveal the very first trailer for  Avengers 4 , and presumably break the internet in the process. Slowly but surely, the window has been narrowed down and just yesterday, we  were told that this week would be it , though it seems that plans have somewhat changed. You see, the  Infinity War   sequel was set to debut its first footage tomorrow night during  Monday Night Football , with  Captain Marvel   getting a  Good Morning America  trailer premiere on Wednesday. Now, for some reason that’s currently unknown, the studio’s swapped the two releases. Which means that Brie Larson’s heroine will actually be taking the spotlight tomorrow night while  Avengers 4  looks to send fans into a frenzy a few days later, on Wednesday. No word yet on when exactly during  Good Morning America...
