$240 is my guess, a little more than Justice League which wouldn't be bad for an Aquaman movie IMO.
Maybe the China box office is indicative of higher demand for this movie here in NA but I'm not so sure.

If this movie wasn't released near Christmas time I would have probably said $240 as well. But I look at Jumanji 2 last year and it opened to only $36 and made over $400 while Star Wars was in theatres.
Mary Poppins has received good not great reviews (same as Aquaman to be fair) and not huge buzz while Bumblebee has gotten great reviews but not much buzz either.
Last year combined SW + Jumanji made over $1 Billion domestically so something like $700 Mill split between both Aquaman + Mary Poppins plus $200 for Bumblebee is possible IMO. I think it was smart of WB to release in China first to build up the buzz, most people reviewing it say it has to be seen on IMAX so I think that will help as well.
