Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom: Can Jason Momoa and Amber Heard's Starrer Surpass Its Predecessor in Advance Bookings?
As the release date for "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" approaches on Friday, December 22, fans eagerly await the final chapter of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) before the anticipated franchise reboot led by James Gunn and Peter Safran. This sequel, directed by James Wan and penned by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, promises to build upon the foundation laid by its predecessor while paving the way for an exciting new direction in the DCEU narrative.
Box Office Buzz and Pre-Booking Triumphs
Amidst initial concerns and less-than-optimistic projections, the film has started making waves in the box office waters, particularly in China. Trade analyst Luiz Fernando reports a significant $296K in advance booking collections on a single Monday, contributing to a total pre-booking sales figure of $977K from December 19 to 25. Notably, these figures slightly surpass the pre-booking sales of other major releases like "The Marvels" and "The Batman." The stakes are high as industry observers closely monitor how "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" positions itself against other blockbuster films.
Projected Opening Weekend and Global Expectations
Despite projections of a domestic box office revenue ranging between $32 million and $42 million for the opening weekend, the sequel faces comparisons to its predecessor, "Aquaman," which achieved a noteworthy $67 million in its opening weekend. While domestic expectations may be tempered, the global success of the first installment, surpassing $1 billion in box office earnings, sets a high bar for "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom." Industry observers keenly watch to see if the sequel can replicate the global triumph of its predecessor.
Behind the Scenes and Stellar Cast
Produced by DC Studios, Atomic Monster, and The Safran Company, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" boasts a stellar cast led by Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry / Aquaman. The ensemble includes Patrick Wilson, Amber Heard, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Nicole Kidman, contributing to the film's potential success as the 15th and final installment in the DCEU.
In conclusion, as the cinematic fate of Aquaman unfolds in "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom," the sequel seems poised to leave an indelible mark on the DCEU narrative, both domestically and globally. Whether it can surpass the expectations set by its predecessor remains to be seen, but the film's impressive pre-booking figures indicate a promising start on its journey to box office success.

Bom, corrigindo, ontem eu assisti “A Freira 2” no cinema, mas, por um problema interno, tive que ver dublado mesmo. Confesso que isso estragou um pouco a diversão. O filme é regular, não chega a ser ruim, mas também não é tão bom assim como o estúdio está dizendo. Tem umas sacadas muito interessantes, e por isso, o filme fica assistivel. Em alguns momentos ele é arrastado e o roteiro, mal construído, dá a impressão de estarmos vendo duas histórias no mesmo filme. Uma interessante, a outra não. Não deu pra aproveitar o talento da Taissa Farmiga na sua plenitude por causa da dublagem. E fica a dica pra quem assistir: tem uma cena extra com os Warren no fim dos créditos!Nota: 6,5.
