Following it’s December 2018 release, the Warner Bros. film picked up $238 million domestically as of January 5, 2019. After opening oversees, 75% of Aquaman’s revenue came from the $650 million picked up at foreign markets. In China, Aquaman is second only to Avengers: Infinity War in terms of highest grossing superhero films at $279 million. 

Within the DCEU, the Jason Momoa-led feature surpassed the global box office totals for Justice League ($657 million), Man of Steel ($668 million), Suicide Squad ($746 million), and Wonder Woman ($821 million). Some analysts estimate the film could earn $1 billion before it finishes its run at the box office.
