«Aquaman» is the first billion-dollar hit since Paramount’s «Transformers: Age of Extinction» in 2014 that wasn’t released by Disney or Universal
Rejoice, DC fans. For the first time since “The Dark Knight Rises” in 2012, a non-Marvel superhero film has grossed $1 billion worldwide, as “Aquaman” hits the milestone after six weekends in theaters worldwide.
In addition, the Warner Bros. release is the first billion-dollar hit in nearly five years that was not released by either Disney or Universal. The last film to reach $1 billion from outside those two studios was Paramount’s “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” which grossed $1.
