DC Films has finally hit bullseye with Aquaman. The Warner Bros-DC movie released in December and it washed away memories of the past few bad years for the production house like a tsunami. In the past month and half, Jason Momoa-starrer has been riding the high tides in US and other international markets. While it had surpassed movies like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Man of Steel, Wonder Woman, Justice League and Suicide Squad, Aquaman s box office collection was still behind Christian Bale s The Dark Knight Rises. Given the recent reports, tables are all set to turn.
As per Forbes, Aquaman earned another $1.7 million as it entered its sixth weekend. This collection has taken Aquaman s domestic box office collection to $310m. The movie has earned about $772 million on the international front. This brings Aquaman s worldwide box office collection to $1.075 billion. The movie just needs about $17 million to surpass Christopher Nolan s The Dark Knight Rises and trade analysts are sure that the movie will surf its way past the Batman movie by the end of this weekend and cross past The Dark Knight Rises $1.085 billion, to beat the final chapter of the Batman trilogy.
Following the trade analysts, Aquaman director Wan took to Twitter to share his reaction on the numbers. The filmmaker quoted a line from a Deadline article and wrote, Crazy.
For years Aquaman has been an orange-shirted punchline... No one is laughing anymore. And this weekend when the King of Atlantis surpasses the Dark Knight of Gotham City, orange will officially be the new black for Warner Bros.

Crazy indeed. The DC superhero has always been the butt of many jokes in the fandom. But the movie has managed to shut them up. Aquaman received good reviews at the time of its release. The movie benefitted at the box office courtesy good storyline, amazing visuals and good acting by Momoa, Amber Heard and other Aquaman cast.
