Part 7/8:

There's a possibility that Aquaman might see better legs during the holiday season when audiences are off school and have more free time. However, the initial indicators are discouraging, and it’s uncertain whether the film will recover from this bleak start.

With dismal preview numbers, poor reviews, and stiff competition, it appears to be shaping up as one of the biggest disappointments for the DCEU this year. The film's performance could have broader implications for the franchise and the future direction of DC’s cinematic universe.
