Do you hear an octopus playing drums under water? Some just can't.
Or speaking of drums, take it this way, Antman2 of the currently most popular CBM franchise (MCU) and following up on the final-act smash Avengers-InfinityWar made $622,674,139 worldwide in it's entire run.
Or put it that way, dead fish, just like raccoon turds, always float at the shallow end of the sea. Aquaman is neither.
Warner Bros.’ Aquaman surfed to a highly successful holiday box office [via Variety], taking in another $22 million on Christmas day and bringing its five-day domestic total to $105 million.
This number puts James Wan‘s DC Comics epic in good company in terms of Christmas day hauls, behind only Avatar ($23 million), Sherlock Holmes ($24.6 million), and three straight Star Wars movies: Rogue One ($25.8 million), The Last Jedi ($27.4 million), and The Force Awakens ($49 million).
Of course, Aquaman is surging worldwide, already spearing over $500 million overseas. But back home over the holidays, it faced stiff competition

Christmas Box Office: 'Mary Poppins' And 'Bumblebee' Can't Compete With 'Aquaman'

Not disastrous for the formerly most-ridiculed C-row superhero character having his origin movie in a December while brawling with MaryPoppins, Transformers, ClintEastwood and even Spiderman for attention (some of these movies hailed as the best in their franchise sporting high 90s ratings on RT, lol).
