A year ago, did you think a Jason Momoa-led
Aquaman movie would become WB's most important superhero franchise?
Thanks to an extended 3-day President's Day weekend,
Aquaman has taken in just enough at the domestic box office to eclipse the $1.12 billion earned by Michael Bay's
Transformers: Dark of the Moon for the 20th spot on the list of highest-grossing movies of all time. In weeks past, the film eclipsed the previous record of $1.085 billion set by
The Dark Knight Rises as the highest grossing DC Comics adaptation of all time.
Below, you can check out this weekend's top-grossing domestic films.
