Aquaman Sequel

Aquaman Sequel In the realm of superhero cinema, the stakes are high, and Aquaman’s sequel finds itself navigating choppy waters. This sequel, following up on the 2018 hit, faced a challenging opening weekend, clocking in at approximately $28 million. The original Aquaman movie made a splash during its debut, grossing nearly $28 million on its first day and surpassing $20 million on Christmas Day, a remarkable feat for the typically subdued box office holiday.

Fast forward five years, and the Aquaman sequel, ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,’ finds itself in a familiar revenue zone, accruing another $28 million over a three-day weekend, as indicated by Comscore reports. Projections suggest a potential $40 million haul with Christmas falling on a Monday, indicating a surge in holiday moviegoers.

Global opening Aquaman Sequel

While the domestic reception seemed lukewarm, Aquaman’s global appeal shone brighter, securing $80.1 million internationally, totaling a robust $120.1 million in global opening earnings. Directed by James Wan, the sequel revolves around Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s Black Manta’s renewed efforts to thwart Jason Momoa’s Aquaman. The star-studded ensemble sees Patrick Wilson, Nicole Kidman, and Amber Heard reprising their roles from the original blockbuster that raked in close to $1.2 billion, reigning as the highest-grossing film in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU).

Momoa, despite leading the film, expressed uncertainty about returning to the Aquaman mantle, citing audience reception as a pivotal factor in the character’s future. However, with reported box office figures against a hefty $205 million budget, the outlook appears less than promising. Compounded by DC Studios’ ongoing superhero strategy overhaul under James Gunn and Peter Safran’s guidance, the cinematic landscape remains in flux, leaving the fate of Aquaman’s world uncertain in the eyes of both fans and industry insiders.
