Aquaman 2: The Lost Kingdom After the release of "Aquaman 2" in North America, the box office performance was a big surprise. According to early statistics, the film collected only $8.75 million on Saturday, which is lower than the $9.2 million on Friday's matinee, and less than the $9.6 million on Saturday in Chinese mainland. This performance has sparked widespread attention from the industry and fans, and there has been speculation about whether the film will be in box office trouble as a result. 
At present, it is not possible to determine the specific reason for the box office decline of "Aquaman 2". Some people believe that this may be due to the fact that fans are concentrated on the first day;It has also been suggested that the film may have been affected by unfavorable audience reviews (CinemaScore Rating B). In addition, the distribution of the holidays may also have had an impact on the box office, with Sunday Christmas Eve approaching, and viewers may prefer to stay home and enjoy the festive spirit.
However, whatever the reason, Aquaman 2 is under tremendous pressure. At present, the film has collected $22.45 million in two days of release in North America (including Thursday's early screening), and the three-day box office is expected to be around $28 million, including Monday and Christmas Day and four days are expected to be more than $35 million. Although this result is not too bad, it still needs to make a huge effort to break the $100 million domestic box office mark.
For Aquaman 2, the next Christmas holiday will be the last straw. If you can take advantage of the opportunity of marketing and word-of-mouth fermentation this holiday to attract more audiences into the theater, then it may be possible to reverse the decline at the box office. Otherwise, Aquaman 2 could become a meteor in the DC Cinematic Universe, eclipsed after a brief sparkle.
Aquaman 2's box office performance is worrying. The film is not only facing the pressure of market competition, but also needs to deal with the challenge of audience word-of-mouth. In the coming days, let's wait and see whether "Aquaman 2" can turn the tables against the wind and regain box office confidence.
