Two weeks into its run, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has already blown past The Marvels‘ box office total. The sequel to the original Aquaman, Aquaman 2 is the final movie in the original iteration of the DC Universe and comes in the wake of a tumultuous year for DC. The Marvels also serves as a sequel, following 2019’s Captain Marvel. While both original movies made over $1 billion at the box office, the follow-ups have been struggling to keep afloat.
According to two reports by The Numbers, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom‘s global gross has already passed The Marvels’ entire run. Aquaman 2 has earned over $250 million at the box office globally, while The Marvels sits at $199 million. The numbers are disappointing for both movies, as Aquaman 2 cost $215 million to make, while Marvel Studios put nearly $275 million into the Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel follow-up.
