They say that the second parts were never as good as the first, but there are exceptions. In the world of superheroes there are those who consider the second installment of Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2 by Sam Raimi, as the best in the saga, and others like Captain America: Winter Soldier as one of Marvel’s favorites. But in the case that concerns us, the shots go in another direction, since it is Warner Bros. the production company that is in charge of one of the latest DC films, which arrives on HBO Max in February.
Aquaman 2 comes to HBO Max
If you didn’t manage to see it in theaters, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom lands on February 27 on HBO Max after having been at the box office for less than two months. The film starring Jason Mamoa was on its way to becoming one of the best films of the year after seeing the official trailer, which hinted at ways, but the criticism had greater weight and it was considered one of the biggest disappointments of the year.
The story continues right at the end of the first part. This new plot of unbridled action in submerged waters will narrate the revenge of the villain David Kane (Black Manta) who, after the death of his father in the previous installment, will have the power of the Black Trident to destroy Aquaman once and for all, That won’t make it easy for him. To do this, Arthur Jr. will request the help of his controversial brother Orm, former king of Atlantis, in order to stop all attempts to destroy his enemy by fighting hand to hand.
Your information at the box office,
Are audiences tired of superhero movies? This has been reflected in the latest Marvel and DC works released in movie theaters last year. After the resounding failure of The Marvels whose revenue did not exceed the cost of its production, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom comes to the fore following the same path, although with larger figures.
Although it has won by a landslide against the film from the UCM universe, with profits of 430 million dollars, the sequel to Aquaman has not been up to par, as it has left movie theaters early. As for Spain, the title directed by James Wan achieved more moderate numbers and captured the attention of 875,000 viewers, with a total collection of more than 6 million euros.
Be that as it may, the world of streaming is gaining strength to be the last resource to attract this type of blockbusters. If you are not yet subscribed to HBO Max, you can do so from any device for a membership of 9.99 euros through this link.
