    Making double your budget is basically breaking even, once you account for marketing costs and the cinema’s cut of the take.

      Sure, and it’s very disappointing in comparison to the first Aquaman. But for being part of a retired cinematic universe and having comparatively little marketing it still performed alright.

      I’m just trying to point out that, because a few, even for superhero movie standards, shit films performed badly and Openheimer performed exceptionally, doesn’t mean that general audiences are tired of being fed recycled material.
