Aquaman Officially Crosses $1 Billion Dollars at the World Wide Box Office

Aquaman officially becomes the first DC Extended Universe movie to cross $1 billion dollars at the world wide box office.

As of today, Saturday January 13th, 2019 Aquaman has made exactly $1,020,261,781 all together at the global box office, with $287 coming from the domestic box office and $732 million in the foreign box office. China was a huge push to help the movie cross the $1 billion dollar mark, as it remains the top foreign market with $287 million.

Aquaman also stands as the second highest grossing DC Comics movie, with The Dark Knight Rises still being the king, with $1.3 billion.

Director James Wan went on to his official Twitter account to thank fans and everyone apart of the movie for the success of Aquaman making $1 billion.

A few things to say…

Firstly, this movie wouldn’t be what it is without the astonishing achievement of everyone involved, from the head of departments to every single crew member, who demanded upmost excellence in helping design and create this cinematic experience.

Secondly, I’ll forever be indebted to Jason for turning Aquaman into one of the coolest, cinematic superheroes ever, and becoming the gold standard for this character for generations to come.

Huge THANK YOU to my amazing cast — Amber, Patrick (my rabbit foot), Nicole, Yahya, Willem, Temuera, Dolph, Ludi, Michael — for breathing life and wonder into our beloved characters.

Finally, but most importantly — massive LOVE and THANK YOU to the fans and audiences around the world. Humbled by the way you’ve embraced Aquaman, and how it has resonated on a global scale.

THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has supported this underdog. For making this non-mainstream character (and yes — with leading POC individuals in front and behind the camera!) connect on such a huge global scale. In the words of Aquaman himself, “MAHALO” 🙏
