Unexpectedly, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom the much-awaited follow-up to the 2018 hit, didn’t create a splash in its Thursday previews. This suggests a tough path in its box office run. The movie, led by James Wan and featuring Jason Momoa, only pulled in an unexciting $6 million from 3,040 theaters in previews. This number falls way below the $9 million its preceding film fetched during its preview night.
The superhero category, often a cinema hit, faced challenges this year. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom seems stuck in these struggles. The performance on Thursday makes us question if it can match the first Aquaman’s success.
Its grand unveiling is on December 19, 2023, at The Grove in Los Angeles. It will show countrywide on December 22, 2023. Warner Bros. hope to cash in on the four-day holiday. But, early signs hint that the movie might not earn as much as the first one.

Experts foresee that Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom might only net a home-opening worth around $37 million to $43 million for the longer weekend. This trails notably behind the first Aquaman’s victory, and falls short of the fresh $46.1 million launch of The Marvels. That’s a contesting Marvel Studios movie that has wrestled its own ticket sales difficulties.
The budget of the movie was $215 million but till now it has made a Worldwide box office collection of $150 million. Well, unlike the previous ones, this movie did not get anti-love because its story was not the same as before.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom had a lukewarm showing. At a time when superhero movies see less interest, viewers seem a bit tired of them. The movie’s outcome is certain to watch closely. It’s making its way in the busy holiday movie market.
The movie industry eyes are locked on the film’s potential turnaround. They hope for buzz that could hike up box office performances in the future. Director James Wan and actor Jason Momoa carry heavy anticipations for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. The box office result still hangs in the balance amid fierce rivals and the ongoing film industry hurdles.
