The first installment, released in 2018, garnered favorable reviews from critics and thrived on positive word-of-mouth, leading to a lengthy stint in theaters. While its domestic performance was commendable, the film’s overseas collection was a particularly noteworthy surprise.

Aquaman amassed a remarkable $1.152 billion in global box office earnings, according to Box Office Mojo.

A significant portion, amounting to $816.92 million, was contributed by international markets. It secured the top spot as the highest-grossing film in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), a position it still holds. Given this illustrious history, expectations are soaring for Aquaman 2.

According to Deadline’s recent report, box office projections for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, directed by James Wan and set to release on December 22nd, have been revealed.

This scenario signals troubling waters for the film, hinting at potential challenges arising from controversies surrounding Amber Heard’s role.
