'Aquaman 2' achieved what didn't seem so complicated. The movie starring Jason Momoa had a good close of 2023 and raised what was necessary to surpass at the global box office 'The Marvels', the film that raised the least money from Marvel. Despite this, the latest film D.C. before the immersion of James Gunn is very far from what its predecessor grossed, in a quite complicated year for superhero films, which will have to rethink many things for the future.
Nevertheless, 'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom', the film's original name, was very close to passing 'The Flash' as the highest-grossing DC film of the year worldwide. How much did you raise?
