Further good news comes from Deadline who reports Aquaman, which cost around $200 million to make, will make a profit in its theatrical run.
The DCEU movie also takes the #1 spot overall for the December Christmas holiday as it makes more money than Bumblebee, Mary Poppins Returns, and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
Warners Domestic Distribution boss Jeff Goldstein released the following statement, “Fans love James Wan and Jason Momoa. There’s something special about Jason’s personality that comes across on screen, and James makes an excellent movie, and fans look at him as a marquee director in regards to his canon.”
