In addition, Justice League opened opposite lesser competition than Aquaman and the latter will have the benefit of the post-holiday, year-end moviegoing season, with clear skies and very little competition well into January.
For one thing, Aquaman is viewed as a better film than Justice League, both critically and with audiences.
Aquaman bested Justice League’s “B+” CinemaScore with an “A-“, which is the same score this past weekend’s other two big releases also enjoyed.
