10 Huge Movies That Aquaman Destroyed At The Box Office

6. Every Spider-Man Movie

Spider Man 3
Sony Pictures

Box Office: $890.9 million (Spider-Man 3), $880.2 million (Spider-Man: Homecoming), $821.7 million (Spider-Man), $783.8 million (Spider-Man 2), $757.9 million (The Amazing Spider-Man), $709 million (The Amazing Spider-Man 2)

Spider-Man has always been a bit of a bizarre movie property, because while all of the six movies to date have been commercially successful in varying degrees, none of them have smashed the billion-dollar ceiling despite the character's enormous popularity (far in excess of billion-dollar Marvel superheroes such as Iron Man, Captain America and Black Panther).

And you can add Aquaman to the list, as the film didn't merely squeeze past the web-slinger's highest-grossing film to date - the massively anticipated Spider-Man 3 - but annihilated it by over $200 million.

It's also interesting to note that none of the Spider-Man films have pulled gangbusters business in China. For instance, Spidey's most recent film, Homecoming, had a fairly modest performance in the region - making "only" $116.3 million - which accounts for a decent chunk of the shortfall compared to Aquaman.

All the same, coming out on top against one of the most beloved superheroes in cinema history is no easy feat.
