I didn't know if this was going to pass Man of Steel domestically but it looks like it easily will.
It might even pass Batman vs Superman.
In hindsight this and Justice League should have swapped grosses.

I'm happy but it pisses me off what WB did with that. Should had just canceled and made a Flash/Cyborg movie.

AQUAMAN TO DATE Domestic: $287,861,781 28.2%
+ Foreign: $732,400,000 71.8%
= Worldwide: $1,020,261,781
WONDER WOMAN Domestic: $412,563,408 50.2%
+ Foreign: $409,283,604 49.8%
= Worldwide: $821,847,012
Even though this movie is making a killing overseas, I don't think it will catch WW domestically.

I wonder why Wonder Woman didn't really perform overseas to the same extent. It's one of the few big blockbusters where it made less internationally than it did domestically.

I think that's more a question of why it did so well domestically instead of why it didn't do so well internationally. After all, its international numbers were pretty much on par for a good solo cbm of its calibre.

After all, its international numbers were pretty much on par for a good solo cbm of its calibre. There are a number of reasons/factors as to why it did so well internationally. First of all, they released in China before every other market (something they had never did before with a DCEU film and kind of similar to what Marvel has done with their MCU films). Secondly, they marketed the film heavily in Asian and Polynesian markets like China, the Philippines, and Australia. The marketing was so successful in China, that it got an additional four weeks run there. Finally, it got really good reviews overseas (as opposed to here in the US and Canada). That's because the film is genuinely good and the critics are not bought off by rival studios overseas like they are in the US.

Congrats to James Wan (another billion dollar film for Mr Wan... wow he has come a long way since Saw ) Congrats to Warner Bros & DC . Way to stick to your guns with this . it definitely paid off! And congrats to the cast & crew of Aquaman for bringing this fun film to life . Esp Jason Momoa . Is he Daniel Day Lewis?? Of course not haha. But he played the role of Aquaman with such charm & charisma and definitely looked the part. All his hard work paid off here so good for him ! Looking forward to the sequel .

So I guess this means we'll be seeing more of Aquaman.

I called it years ago. I said it was time for the DCEU to demote Superman and Batman as their flagship characters and instead focus on Wonder Woman and Aquaman.

Well, after the first billions everything else seems like anticlimactic baby steps. Still: - With a $2.27 million gross on Tuesday (+60% from Monday and -41% from last Tuesday) Aquaman has now made $291.6m domestically - and surpassed the domestic cume of Man of Steel. - Aquaman is going to become the leggiest comic book superhero movie since Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ($135 million from a $25m debut) in 1990.

Yeah as much as I love Batman, DC needed new blood for the films. I'm glad that Aquaman and Wonder Woman are successful. Here's hoping that Shazam and The Flash prove to be crowd pleasers.
