Aquaman will pass $1B in worldwide box office today. On its way to being the biggest DC film ever.

[kswiston]

EDIT: Now that it is official




This is the first DC film to reach $1B since The Dark Knight Rises in 2012, and will actually be the first film from a studio other than Disney/Universal to hit that mark since WB released the first Hobbit film about 6 years ago.

Given the continued momentum of Aquaman, it is pretty likely that the film will end its run over The Dark Knight Rises ($1.085B), setting a new high water mark for the label.

Who would have guessed?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Grats to that team.

 

[clay_ghost]

Wow. Did not expect this much for Aquaman . Next JL movie will have him and Wonder Woman as the lead now lol.

All thanks to Pitbull's remix of Toto's Africa

What a world we live in.

Aquaman really did unite the seven seas.

That shows once more that box-office success has nothing to do with quality.

 

[KtotheRoc]

Not a sentence I think anyone ever actually thought they would say. They sure proved Entourage wrong, lol.

 

[JDSN]

Deserved, it's the best DCU film by far.

 

[sephghast]

December release with no Star Wars really helped out. Congrats.

Aquaman king of the DC Universe, even bigger than fucking BATMAN

Bodes well for even more fun, big budget genre films going forward.

Next dark horse is Battle Angel Alita

 

[Soupman Prime]

That's fantastic news, I saw it and enjoyed it. I guess many felt the same way overseas.

 

[SurrenderDorothy]

Still want to watch the film when I get a chance.
I've heard that it's not bad at all.

Let's celebrate this momentous occasion with some music, shall we?

I BLESS THE RAAAINS DOWN IN AAAAAAAAFRICA

 

[Bear and bird]

Happy for Momoa and Wan!

I can't help but feel like things are lining up perfectly for a Flashpoint movie between this and Wonder Woman doing great at the box office. Should be interesting to see how it's going to play out.

 

[Deleted member 17092]

The Hobbit made $1bil. Why lol.

 

[pokeystaples]

Saw it last night and it was just as fun as everyone I've spoken to said. Word of mouth got my butt in the seat. Arthur took my heart.

Thanks Pitbull.

All the DC universe needed was no Zack Snyder

 

[NameUser]

Damn. This is kind of a sleeper hit. Knew it'd make bank, but not this much.

 

[boontobias]

Okay now pull a Marvell and make comics Arthur into Momoa

James Wan and James Cameron are now the only directors to have two 1b movies across different franchises.

Bow down to your new cinematic god.

 

[Tamanon]

Now here's hoping Shazam has somewhere close to that amount of success.

 

[Burt]

Jason Momoa already has the god bod why'd they slap those Batman and Robin ass abs on his costume

The one dude that could actually get away with superhero tights and you put him in a Power Ranger weekly villain costume

 

[Pilgrimzero]

New Justice League trio: WW, Aqua, and Harley. Coming to a theater near you.

 

[WaffleTaco]

I wonder how much this has to do with there being nothing else worth seeing this holiday.

 

[noyram23]

Pitbull doing the work, he should do covers on other classic on other DC movies

Consider yourself lucky. At least it's only played in the actual movie for a few seconds.

 

[TacomaSCDisaster]

Kinda baffling to me. I've seen all of the DCEU movies (I don't know why. Maybe I hate myself or something.) and I thought this was awful, on a Batman v Superman tier of bad. Why are people flocking to it?

 

[jett]

Nolan in tatters.

 

[vestan]

Man, it's weird that an Aquaman movie has a higher gross than a Superman one.

People still liked Lord of the Rings back then, before The Hobbit shat all over its legacy.

It's a massive blockbuster, not a sleeper hit.

A Suicide Squad movie grossing more than a Superman one was already pretty weird.

The Holiday slate was actually pretty decent. Aquaman was the only one demonstrating four quadrant appeal though.

Justice League sequel will be entirely underwater!!

True. I used that because some folks thought it would under perform. So it can still be a sleeper hit. Like Jurassic World. No one expected it to make that much.
