Finally, the much-awaited Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, aka Aquaman 2, has arrived at the box office. Ever since the projections made their way out, it was on the cards that the film was going to take a slower start. In isolation, the numbers looked decent, but considering the sequel factor, they were surprisingly low.
Aquaman 2 Box Office Performance In India
Film performed poorly at box office and collected only 3 cr nett on day one. Film lost screens due to clash with Salaar and Dunki in India. Film raked in 1.75 cr nett on day two and thus taking 2 – day collections to 4.75 cr nett. Film will struggle from here onwards and even decent 25 cr nett lifetime looks tough.
Aquaman 2 Worldwide Box Office Remains Poor
Aquaman is slowly swimming his way back to theaters, but he may get washed up at the box office. The latest DC Universe movie, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, has made $4.5 million in Thursday previews at the domestic box office.
The superhero sequel, which marks the final installment of the DCEU before it gets rebooted by DC Studios chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran, is shaping up to be the latest misfire this year, after The Flash, Blue Beetle and Shazam! Fury of the Gods disappointed during their box office runs.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is expected to make between $35 million to $40 million in the four-day holiday weekend, which includes Christmas Day on Monday. It’s lower than the $67 million start the original Aquaman had five years ago in 2018, but that movie surfed to an astounding $335 million in North America and $1.15 billion globally.
In Thursday previews, the first Aquaman made $9 million. For this year’s DC movies, The Flash had $9.7 million ($55 million opening); “Blue Beetle” made $3.3 million ($25.4 million opening) and Shazam: Fury of the Gods made $3.4 million ($30.5 million opening). Last year’s Black Adam collected $7.6 million in previews on its way to a $67 million opening. On the Marvel side, the most recent release, The Marvels, made $6.6 million in previews for a $47 million opening.
Jason Momoa’s undersea hero returns in the latest movie and teams up with his reformed brother Orm (Patrick Wilson) to take down the villainous Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Matteen II). There’s plenty of 3D action, underwater creatures and powerful tridents in this outing, but don’t expect Momoa’s Aquaman to show up in Gunn and Safran’s new DC Universe. Starting with Superman: Legacy in 2025, the entire DC Comics world will be wiped clean with a new cast of characters.
