"Wonka Sweetens Box Office as 'Aquaman 2' Surpasses 'The Marvels' and Dives into Streaming"
"Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom" has surpassed "The Marvels" at the global box office, earning $258 million in less than two weeks, which is 25% more than "The Marvels" total run. Despite lower reviews and being the last film before the DCU's overhaul, "Aquaman 2" has shown resilience, outperforming other DC releases this year and demonstrating a unique appeal that could inform future DCU projects. The film's success, particularly overseas, suggests that there's a special draw to the Aquaman franchise that DC might want to understand as they move forward with their cinematic universe.
