Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom recently met a box office milestone that helped make it a nice capstone to the DCEU. The movie is a direct sequel to the surprise hit Aquaman, which is the highest grossing DCEU film by a wide margin. This likely helped create more interest in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, despite the fact that the DCEU will not be continuing after it. Some audience members may also have been curious to see the conclusion of the DCEU, which started back in 2013 with Man of Steel.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has now made approximately $434 million at the global box office, according to The Numbers. This makes it the first DCEU movie since the original Aquaman to make over $400 million. This means Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is also the highest-grossing DCEU movie since 2018. Hopefully, this upswing in box office numbers can continue over into the new DCU reboot that will launch in theaters next year with Superman: Legacy.
