Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom achieves an unexpected box office feat, leaving DC movies like The Flash far behind. The DCEU experienced a downward trend in 2023 with three consecutive movies that struggled at the box office. But after Shazam! Fury of the Gods, The Flash, and Blue Beetle‘s commercial failure imposed a bad omen for the DCEU’s final movie, James Wan’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has managed to break free of previously low expectations.
As reported by The Numbers, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has surpassed The Flash‘s total earnings in less than two weeks. On its fourteenth day in theaters, the Aquaman sequel has amassed over $274 million, whereas The Flash‘s 40-day theatrical run earned the Ezra Miller-led movie $266.5 million in total, according to The Numbers. Considering that Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom cost around $215 million, James Wan’s DC film might be on track to break even, or even make a profit despite the DCEU’s recent track record.
