Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom became the highest-grossing film in the main DC cinematic universe since 2018

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom debuted with a modest box office for a superhero blockbuster. However, a month has passed since the premiere, and now the film has become the highest-grossing film in the main DC cinematic universe since 2018.

Here's What We Know

The continuation of the story about the King of Atlanta raised $396 million worldwide. This is the best result in recent years. The first Aquaman film grossed $1 billion in 2018, but after that, not even every DC film could reach $200 million.

But it's important to remember that the situation in the non-mainstream DC Elseworlds cinematic universe has been much better all these years. This universe includes the Joker film, which grossed more than 1 billion, and Batman directed by Matt Reeves, which managed to earn almost 800 million.

As a reminder, Aquaman 2 was greeted warmly by the audience with 79% freshness on RottenTomatoes, but critics panned the film and gave it 39% freshness.
