Aquaman 2 to release on OTT on January 1? 

This New Year, Aquaman 2 is going to make a big impression on Netflix. Collider reported that the movie will be accessible for online viewing on January 1, 2024. This comes after several DC superhero films from 2023, including Shazam! Fury of the Gods, The Flash, and Blue Beetle, were recently added to the streaming behemoth.

The decision to choose a new streaming service aligns with the difficulties The Lost Kingdom encountered when it made its theatrical premiere. The movie disappointed financially in addition to missing box office estimates, taking in about $38 million during the long Christmas holiday weekend. With marketing expenses excluded, the film's enormous $200 million budget was unveiled. It's yet unknown if it will be able to recoup expenses.
