The highest grossing DC film of all time

Just a few days ago, you could see the most successful DC film of all time on Amazon Prime Video within the flat rate, but now Netflix is ​​snapping up the box office hit. So if you want to see “Aquaman” with Jason Momoa from now on, a Netflix subscription is a good idea.

Before the release of “Aquaman”, the so-called DC Extended Universe was only moderately successful, no comparison to the competing Marvel Cinematic Universe. But “Aquaman” from 2018 became a big surprise hit and not only this. The box office earnings of over 1.148 billion US dollars not only catapulted the comic spectacle to the top of the DC Extended Universe, but also made the blockbuster the most financially successful DC film adaptation ever.

Netflix snaps up “Aquaman”, Amazon looks down the drain

Until April 24, “Aquaman” could still be seen on Amazon Prime Video as part of the streaming flat rate, but now the film with Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Willem Dafoe and Nicole Kidman has been dropped from the program and will cost EUR 3.99 rental fee from now on extra. However, if you have a Netflix subscription, you can save yourself this. Because “Aquaman” has been on display there since April 25th (watch on Netflix). Incidentally, the film is also available on RTL+ (see RTL+), although Netflix is ​​certainly more widespread than the private broadcaster’s streaming service.

A little foretaste in the trailer:

And what’s the point again? In a nutshell, amphibious superhero Arthur Curry learns what it means to be Aquaman when he must stop the King of Atlantis from waging war against the outside world. Incidentally, it is the sixth part of the DC Extended Universe, located between “Justice League” (2017) and “Shazam!” (2019). Good to know: A The second Aquaman film is in the making and is slated to hit theaters on March 17, 2023.

Rather fancy a series, here is worth a look:

How good is the film, what do the critics say?

But does the financially most successful DC film also convince the critics? He does, but the spectators do even more. “Aquaman” received a decent 6.8 out of 10 points on the IMDb, and it was enough for a comparable 65 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The viewers see it even more positively and give 73 percent encouragement. In short: If you haven’t seen “Aquaman” yet, you should take the opportunity now.
