Aquaman India box office: Jason Momoa’s superhero movie makes ₹39 crore
Jason Momoa and DC’s Aquaman has made ₹39 crore in India in one week, eclipsing the total of Justice League, but paling in comparison to Marvel movies.
Jason Momoa's Aquaman has minted over ₹39 crore in India since its release. The film had opened to a healthy ₹28 crore on its first weekend in India.
The Warner Bros project explores the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime -- one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be -- a king.
DC’s previous movie, Justice League, finished its India run with a similar total. Meanwhile, Marvel clearly has the edge at the Indian box office. 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok made ₹34 crore in its opening weekend, while Avengers: Infinity War cracked ₹100 crore. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom opened to an excellent ₹53 crore in its first three days.
The film released in India on December 14, a week ahead of the US release. It opened in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
Aquaman also stars Amber Heard as Mera, a fierce warrior and Aquaman's ally throughout his journey; Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe as Vulko, council to the Atlantean throne; Patrick Wilson as Orm/Ocean Master, the present King of Atlantis; Dolph Lundgren as Nereus, King of the Atlantean tribe Xebel; Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as the vengeful Black Manta; and Oscar winner Nicole Kidman as Arthur's mom, Atlanna; as well as Ludi Lin as Captain Murk, Atlantean Commando; and Temuera Morrison as Arthur's dad, Tom Curry.
