Forbes analysts estimate Aqua might break 1B:
While highly uncertain and a long swim this assessment is made more likely by the recent prolongation of the Aquarun in China:
By the end of the first week of January 2019, Aquaman will probably be the third-highest grossing movie of the DCEU library, behind only Batman v Superman and Wonder Woman. I expect it to eventually reach north of $900 million and probably hit $1 billion, off the continued strength of massive foreign totals plus strong holds on both the domestic and international fronts.
While highly uncertain and a long swim this assessment is made more likely by the recent prolongation of the Aquarun in China:
“Aquaman” is set to prolong its reign over the China box office with an extra month in theaters. It has been granted an extension to its release and will be allowed to play through to Feb. 6, 2019, the second day of the Chinese New Year holiday.
Foreign revenue sharing films in China are typically given a 30-day release window by the industry regulators. Only some receive an extra 30-day extension and usually only when the film is performing strongly. Earlier this month, Sony’s “Venom” was also given such a green light. It had smashed records to boast the second-largest opening weekend for a superhero film ever in China.

Aquaman will only be able to make a splash in Japan as from February 2019 this completing his Aquadance in Asia where it started.
