Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom is made on a whopping budget of $205 million. The Jason Momoa film received quite an underwhelming response upon release due to the negativity surrounding it. While most expected the DECU flick to end up being a box office dud, it turns out that’s far from reality. Scroll below for details, as Aquaman 2 may, in fact, end up earning some returns!
There are currently multiple options in the US markets. Timothee Chalamet’s Wonka is winning big at the box office. On the other hand, Migration, Anyone But You, The Color Purple, and The Iron Claw are some other films that were released around the festive season. Despite the mixed response, Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom has managed to remain among the top choice of audiences.

Aquaman 2 Budget & Returns
We had previously reported that Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom, made on a budget of $205 million, will at least need $410 million to break even. If the predictions are to go by, the DC superhero film will indeed achieve that mark. In fact, it might not be a profitable affair but could very well land the break-even point at the box office.
