It appears Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will struggle to bring much holiday cheer to the box office as the final DC Extended Universe movie’s latest projections are out.Per Deadline, the Aquaman sequel is projected to make over $40 million at the domestic box office during its first four days in theaters, which could see it make less money in North American cinemas than the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s latest pic, The Marvels ($46.7 million). However, The Lost Kingdom’s international projections look more encouraging, with the James Wan-helmed movie expected to earn up to $110 million overseas by Christmas Eve, with between $75 million and $80 million of that gross coming from a 73% market launch in foreign territories.The DCEU has been plagued by poor-performing entries in 2023 as Shazam! Fury of the Gods, The Flash, and Blue Beetle all struggled mightily at the box office. The Lost Kingdom will end the DCEU before the transition to the revamped DCU under the guidance of DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran begins in earnest, with Jason Momoa starring alongside Patrick Wilson, Amber Heard and Nicole Kidman. Momoa, who has played Arthur Curry throughout his time in the DCEU, expressed little optimism he’d portray Aquaman beyond The Lost Kingdom during the London premiere of the sequel. Momoa has been strongly linked to playing Lobo in the DCU, recently admitting his eagerness to play the role.
