Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom gets some more bad news after the film’s underwhelming premiere in movie theaters.Premiering in theaters on Dec. 22, the Aquaman sequel fell short of expectations upon release, though it still managed to take the top spot at the box office. Per Variety, the film has fallen by 51% on Friday compared to its opening day with its haul of $6.75 million. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has managed to reach just $65 million in its first week, and it’s now fallen into the No. 2 spot at the box office for its second weekend. The film has had better showings overseas, adding $80.1 million to its domestic total of $65 million, garnering over $145 million worldwide. Even so, Aquaman 2 is very unlikely to come close to breaking even, given the $400 million spent on the budget and marketing costs.While Warner Bros. previously held the top three spots with the new take on The Color Purple ranking high, that changes this weekend with the animated film Migration taking the No. 3 spot. The film, from Illumination and Universal Pictures, earned $6.7 million on Friday after a $12 million debut. The movie also saw an increase of 17% compared to the previous Friday. It has now earned over $43.8 million domestically and over $25.1 million internationally for a worldwide haul of $68.9 million.
