Aquaman 2 Early Box Office Projections Continue Disastrous 2023 For DC Movies

Early box office projections for DC Studios’ upcoming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom don’t spell good news for the final film in DC’s live-action 2023 release schedule. Aquaman quickly became the DCEU’s most popular and profitable project after its 2018 release, grossing over $1 billion at the global box office, and setting up Jason Momoa for a bright future in the franchise as Arthur Curry, a.k.a. the titular Aquaman. While Aquaman’s success made the development of a sequel inevitable, the fact that DC Studios’ Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is releasing as the final project before the DCEU’s reboot into the DC Universe means the film may already be suffering.
