10 Huge Movies That Aquaman Destroyed At The Box Office
1. Every DC Movie EVER
Box Office: $1.08 billion (The Dark Knight Rises), $1.005 billion (The Dark Knight), $873.6 million (Batman v Superman), $821.8 million (Wonder Woman), $746.9 million (Suicide Squad), $668 million (Man of Steel), $657.9 million (Justice League), $411.3 million (Tim Burton's Batman), $391.1 million (Superman Returns), $375.2 million (Batman Begins)
Just this past week, Aquaman achieved the most unfathomable milestone of all: it soared past The Dark Knight Rises' $1.08 billion gross to become the highest-grossing DC movie ever.
Seriously, who the hell saw that coming?
Even when Aquaman proved itself a hit in the early going, few could've predicted that it'd have such impressive legs. The result is a film more commercially successful than any prior live-action DC movie starring Batman, Superman or Wonder Woman (a selection of which are listed above).
It is the ultimate proof that the world as a whole has lovingly embraced the sea-faring superhero, and though it's great news for the DC brand and Warner Bros. in particular, it's still a little tough to make sense of.
