Aquaman 2 Box Office Hits Milestone The DCEU Hasn't Reached In Over 6 Years

 Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom just reached a box-office milestone that the DCEU hadn't passed in some time, ending the franchise on an overdue win.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom surpasses $400 million, becoming the highest-grossing DCEU movie since 2018.

 The success of the sequel is likely tied to the huge popularity of the original Aquaman, boosting global box office numbers.

 Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is the final movie of the DCEU, so it's a nice final milestone for the franchise.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom recently met a box office milestone that helped make it a nice capstone to the DCEU. The movie is a direct sequel to the surprise hit Aquaman, which is the highest grossing DCEU film by a wide margin. This likely helped create more interest in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, despite the fact that the DCEU will not be continuing after it. Some audience members may also have
been curious to see the conclusion of the DCEU, which started back in 2013 with Man of Steel.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has now made approximately $434 million at the global box office, according to The Numbers. This makes it the first DCEU movie since the original Aquaman to make over $400 million. This means Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is also the highest-grossing DCEU movie since 2018. Hopefully, this upswing in box office numbers can continue over into the new DCU reboot that will launch in theaters next year with Superman: Legacy.
