The DC Extended Universe had a wild life in theaters, full of peaks and valleys. Most recently there have been some box office struggles, seemingly as a result of a new shared universe being started shortly. And while Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom reportedly struggled at the box office, it actually hit a milestone for recent DC movies. Let's break it all down.

While the new sequel didn't become the highest grossing DC movie like the original, there was some good news.
