DC’s newest superhero flick Aquaman has already made a big … impact at the box office. (You thought we were going to say splash, didn’t you, since everyone writing about this movie can’t seem to resist the urge to produce an assortment of oceanic puns?) Indeed, the film’s US opening weekend has only just now arrived, with the flick having already seen overseas success to such a degree that it’s helped recoup the film’s estimated $160 million production budget, and then some.
Not bad for a film that comes on the heels of the middling Justice League, which may be one reason the studio decided to release Aquaman in an unusual way. That included showing it in China first, in addition to inking a deal with Amazon to let the ecommerce company’s Prime subscribers get access to exclusive early showings in the US.
