I didn't care for either the 1st Captain Marvel or the 1st Aquaman, but I could at least understand trying to make Momoa a "franchise" the dude has serious charisma and seems likeable enough.  However to try and make Larson a franchise was a stretch to far, there is nothing likeable about her at all.

China box office seems to like him

"Warner Bros.' # 5 top-grossing film post-Covid?"

What's next?

6th highest-grossing film released on the 51st Friday of a non-leap year?

This might be significant, if it meant it were:

a) close to profitable; or

b) this were actually a thing.

For reference, Aquaman 2 is currently running

  • ~$50 million behind the the # 4 Warner Bros. film (Godzilla v. Kong)
  • ~$150 million behind the # 3 Warner Bros. film (Wonka)
  • ~$1.0 billion behind the # 1 Warner Bros. film (Barbie)

$52.6M from Ant-Man 3, which is shocking in itself based on the early predictions how low Aquaman 2 would land.

Interesting in that regionally Aquaman 2 did quite well at the Chinese Box Office when compared to modern peers. Good point on your part noting that.

The 2023 comic book films made for an interesting shift. To include Aquaman trailing Ant-Man 3 by only $42.8M when the latter was the 31st MCU film and a build-up to the next big Marvel villain - Kang the Conqueror. While Gunn made it clear Aquaman 2 had nothing to do with any future DCU development.

Or some can pretend Aquaman 2 had everything going for it. Including no DCU CEO tampering to avoid conflicts with future roadmap announcements.
