The chapter of DCEU (DC Extended Universe) has been officially closed now as the last film of the universe, Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom, aka Aquaman 2, has ended its run at the worldwide box office. While the performance is underwhelming, the good thing is that the sequel didn’t see an outright rejection and avoided the tag of being a disaster. Keep reading to know more!
Reception of the Aquaman sequel
Directed by James Wan, the Aquaman sequel was released on 22nd December in the majority of parts of the globe. Upon its arrival, the film met with mostly negative reviews from critics, and even word-of-mouth was not in complete favor. Looking at such a reception, it felt that the biggie would become a washout amid a decline in the box office pull of superhero films.
Thankfully, it didn’t face embarrassments like previous DCEU releases and even MCU’s The Marvels, which turned out to be the lowest-grossing film for the studio. All thanks to the sequel factor and loyal fan base of Jason Momoa‘s titular character, Aquaman 2 managed to earn a respectable total globally and emerged as an average grosser.
Aquaman 2 has now ended its theatrical run, ahead of its OTT debut on Max on 27th February. At the North American box office, the film did a business of $123.79 million, while in overseas, it earned $309.90 million. Combining both, the Aquaman sequel stands at $433.69 million at the box office, as per Box Office Mojo.
