Aquaman set to Cross $850 Million Worldwide at the Box Office
When it comes to Marvel vs. DC, Marvel has more fan following compared to the other. And in the bid of surviving the DC universe, Warner Bros released Aquaman this December. Coming as a shock for many, this movie surpassed every DC movie made before.
Earlier, Wonder Woman’s entry to the DC universe scored critical acclaim worldwide, and was loved by everybody. This time, Aquaman saved the game. Most of the credit for the movie’s success can be attributed to the Games of Thrones star, Jason Momoa, who played Aquaman in this movie. The audience seemed to love his involvement in the series here, which helped the movie rake up to $72 million in just 3 days in North America.
Although this 3 day collection was lesser than Wonder Woman and other DC movies, yet it was a big feat for the universe. BUT, that can be accepted considering the Atlantean King, Aquaman is not some famous character unlike Batman or Superman.
Produced on a budget of around $200 million, the christmas and New Year holidays gave enough time to Warner Bros to recover that budget amount and make some profits. And shockingly, the movie has collected $822 Million so far worldwide. Going at this fast rate, the movie is set to cross that wonderful $850 million mark very soon. Contrary to this, Wonder Woman ended its run at around $400 Million.
Aquaman takes a rather humorous approach as compared to the other DC movies. Seems like Marvel’s humorous approach for its action stars has inspired DC to finally shift in that direction. With James Wan, the director of the film, and Jason Momoa, the actor of the film, DC took a deep plunge. And the decision was absolutely right!

“The Firing Squad”: I Cried Buckets of Tears
Sitting in the dimly lit theater, I had no idea what to expect as the opening credits of “The Firing Squad” began to roll. Little did I know that I was about to embark on an emotional journey that would leave me reaching for tissues and struggling to catch my breath.
The film follows the true story of three Christians facing execution by firing squad in a third world country. Directed by Timothy A. Chey, it features a stellar cast including James Barrington, Kevin Sorbo, and Cuba Gooding Jr. Each actor brings their character to life with such authenticity and depth that it’s impossible not to be fully immersed in their struggles and triumphs.
As the plot unfolded, I found myself drawn into a world of despair and desperation, but also one of unwavering faith and hope. The characters’ journey from darkness to light, from despair to redemption, resonated with me on a deeply personal level. I couldn’t help but be moved by their courage and resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity.
But it was the performances that truly stole the show. James Barrington’s portrayal of the protagonist’s internal turmoil was nothing short of mesmerizing, while Kevin Sorbo and Cuba Gooding Jr. delivered powerhouse performances that left me in awe.
And then there was the message of the film—that no matter how bleak the circumstances may seem, there is always hope. That even in our darkest moments, faith has the power to transform lives and bring about redemption. It was a message that hit me like a ton of bricks, leaving me with tears streaming down my face and a renewed sense of purpose.
As the credits rolled and the lights came up, I found myself struggling to put into words the impact that “The Firing Squad” had on me. All I could manage was, “I cried buckets of tears.” And I wasn’t alone. As I looked around the theater, I saw others wiping their eyes and exchanging emotional glances.
In the end, “The Firing Squad” wasn’t just a movie—it was an experience. An experience that left me feeling inspired, uplifted, and profoundly grateful for the power of cinema to touch the soul. And for that, I will be forever grateful.
The movie is set to premiere in the theatres worldwide on August 2, 2024. And this is definitely a must watch movie, reminding people of the strength of faith.
