You thought Aquaman was done breaking records and surpassing it’s predecessors? You thought wrong! Globally, Aquaman has broken every record set by DC productions, grossing a total of $1.13 billion. Domestically however, Aquaman still has films to beat. Now it has one less, recently overtaking Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Arguably the two most recognisable superheroes went head-to-head in DC’s 2016 production, Batman v Superman. This was bound to draw attention and the North American box office shows that, with the film taking in $330.3 million. Aquaman has now taken in $331.3 million, building up momentum over time, and is sure to break more records before it’s done.
A few years back, no one would have even suggested an Aquaman movie would beat out a movie about DC’s top two heroes.
However, with a solo title in the works, it’s possible The Dark Knight could take the top spot, once again.
