If you’ve followed my previous posts on Aquaman then you knew this was coming, but for those who have just walked in – Aquaman is now the highest grossing DC movie of all-time!
The movie has taken $1,090,754,074 at the worldwide box office, which not only places it as the 24th highest grossing movie ever, but also pushes it a fraction above the box office take of The Dark Knight Rises (2012).
Well done, Aquaman.
Here is the list of the top ten highest grossing DC movies:
- 1) Aquaman (2018) $1,090.8

I thought Aquaman was fun and I’m glad it’s been successful, but…outgrossing the Dark Knight? Hm…

Personally, I didn’t hate Aquaman but I didn’t care for it either. I didn’t expect it to do this well.

It is rather odd when one of DC’s lesser characters outperforms it’s,s greatest and most popular… especially considering how good those Nolan films were.

I think there’s an appetite for new characters at the moment. Plus, this film did very well in China and that made a big difference.
