Aquaman is now the biggest mainstream movie of all time with DC

Forget Atlantis and the seven seas, Aquaman is at the top of the mountain. Jason Momoa-starrer is now the most profitable movie of all time based on a DC Comics property, after adding a few million more over the weekend to bring its total to $ 1.09 billion (about 7 Rs 747.17). In doing so, Aquaman surpbaded the previous record holder, The Dark Knight Rises, whose global box office collection stood at $ 1.084 billion (about R $ 7,704.53). For his studio Warner Bros., Aquaman is now the second largest movie of all time in the world, with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 in the lead with $ 1.341 billion (about 9,529.81 rupees) . Overall, Aquaman is the 24th highest total of all time.

Aquaman is full of wonders of the ocean, but also endless exhibitions

And it's done with rave reviews. We had the feeling that the film was too exposed, that he did not specify his characters, and that his unique underwater visuals could not compensate for these shortcomings, among others. In Aggregated Tomatoes and Metacritics aggregating journals, Aquaman has a scarcely fresh score of 64% and a non-ideal score of 55, respectively. But that clearly did not stop Aquaman from breaking record after record, for Warner Bros. and DC. The studios would already be in conversation with director James Wan on the direction to follow for the inevitable sequel.

Compared with his counterparts in DC Comics, Aquaman's commercial success has been more unbalanced than ever before. Out of a total of $ 1.09 billion, Aquaman achieved an impressive 71% – $ 774.2 million (about Rs 5,501.85) – outside its domestic US market. It is 58.7% for The Dark Knight Rises, while The Dark Knight, third, earns more money from the American public. Interestingly, the 71% of Aquaman are tied with Warner Bros. & # 39; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, which also shot 71.6 percent of its $ 1.341 billion total in non-US markets.

China was the main contributor to Aquaman's international success with a contribution of $ 294.8 million. (approximately Rs. 2,094.99 crores). The next largest non-US market? Mexico only 31.2 million dollars (about 221.72 Rs.). This shows how important China is to major US franchises. Warner Bros. has understood this in the past and in other studios. That's why Aquaman was launched in China before any other market on December 7th. He followed to India a week later, December 14, the United States having received it only December 21.

It is somewhat strange that Aquaman has attracted more spectators than the star characters of DC, Batman and Superman, whose future is widely seen at Warner Bros., as a result of multiple critical failures. and the critical disappointment of the Justice League. in 2017. And Warner Bros. It has nothing to do with Aquaman in 2019. There is a showcase for B-lister Shazam! early April, followed by an independent entry from Joker, featuring Joaquin Phoenix in the lead, in October, which does not even connect to the wider DC universe. But given the mbadive performance of Aquaman, you would be a brave man to bet against them.
