Weekend Box Office: Escape Room can't keep audiences from flocking to Aquaman
James Wan might think it’s a “fucking disgrace” that Aquaman wasn’t shortlisted for a visual effects Oscar, but the director’s got to be taking comfort in the fact that, after three weekends atop the box office, the chronicle of Jason Momoa’s trident-bearing fish god is officially the highest-grossing worldwide release in the DC Extended Universe. Aquaman raked in nearly $31 million domestically and $56 million internationally over the weekend, pushing its worldwide gross over $940 million and ahead of the $873 million pulled in by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
