The sequel, which grossed $433 million worldwide, eyes streaming success after modest box office performance.

'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom' will begin streaming on Max on February 27, following its digital release and preceding its home video release.
The sequel, directed by James Wan and starring Jason Momoa, has earned $433 million worldwide against a budget of $200-$215 million.
Black Manta, wielding the Black Trident, poses a greater threat than ever, prompting Aquaman to ally with his brother Orm to save their world.
