Warner Bros is positioning 'Aquaman 2’ as the big fish in its Christmas holiday slate, which also features 'Wonka' and 'The Color Purple', but the holiday box office is not looking bright. In an interview with /Film, director James Wan discussed the creative liberties taken in 'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom', such as a drumming octopus on a secret mission, and mentioned drawing inspiration from 'Avatar' and 'The Lord of the Rings'. Despite the success of the original 'Aquaman' as the highest-grossing DC film, the sequel's opening weekend box office projections are underwhelming. The release has prompted a reflection on the DC Extended Universe and anticipation for other projects like 'Malignant 2'. As 'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom' arrives, fans and critics are revisiting the original film's oceanic idiosyncrasies and the Christmas Box Office Preview suggests a holiday slate devoid of sizzle.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom comes to theaters this Friday, so fans are taking this moment to reflect on the DC Extended Universe and what it could have been. https://t.co/r25WPTKstb https://t.co/wSRoMtocNM
