Is is a jelly fish? Is it a laser shark? No! It's Aquaman! The King of Atlantis on his trip through the seven cinematic seas has now OFFICIALLY passed Thor:Ragnarock ($853,9) - Venom ($855,5) - Guardian of the Galaxy Vol 2 ($863,7) at the global box office, continuing surfing its gushy tidal wave since its release late last year. This adds to the film's long list of milestones after it recently helped Warner Bros. achieve its highest box office numbers ever in 2018.
As of this writing it already has/is about to surpass Batman v Superman too but official confirmation is still outstanding.
 Domestically, this year third weekend of Aquaman is the only title grossing north of $20M with an estimated $30.3M, -42% for a running total by Sunday of $259.3M.
Next weekend’s trio of entries [ie STX’s The Upside ($8M-$10M estimated opening), Sony’s A Dog’s Way Home ($7M-$12M) and Entertainment Studios’ Replicas ($4M-$7M estimated opening)] aren’t expected to inflict to much box office damage, so it’s safe to say that Aquaman will reign supreme for a fourth weekend.
The last time Warners held a film for four weeks straight was 2008’s The Dark Knight. Aquaman‘s will easily grasp $900M by Sunday and if he doesn’t lose too many screens abroad, a $1 billion WW final isn’t out of the question.
