Warner Bros.’ latest DC comics adaptation will earn $51.5 million from 4,125 locations in its second frame. That will bring its domestic total to $188.8 million after its first ten days at the box office.

Aquaman is directed by James Wan and stars Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry, the half-human prince of Atlantis he first played in Justice League (after a silent cameo in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice). Aquaman must return to Atlantis to stop his half-brother from leading the underwater kingdoms into open warfare against the surface.

Disney’s Mary Poppins Returns is set for second place in its sophomore weekend with $28 million, bringing the film's total to $98 million domestic.

The film is a sequel to Mary Poppins, the beloved 1964 Disney classic. Emily Blunt plays the iconic title role as Poppins reunites with the Banks children, now adults, after a family tragedy.

Bumblebee, the first standalone Transformers spinoff movie, and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the first animated Spider-Man movie, are battling for third place this weekend. Each film is looking at about $20 million for the weekend, but Bumblebee looks most likely to win the fight.

Bumblebee is the sixth Transformers movie. The prequel takes place in the 1980s, which is when the franchise was born as a toy line and television cartoon. The film honors that history by having its Transformers look much more like the original cartoon and toy designs than the Michael Bay-directed films did.

The film is also the strongest reviewed of all the Transformers movies, carrying a 94 percent fresh rating from review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. Hailee Steinfeld is the film's live-action lead, with Dylan O'Brien providing the voice of Bumblebee.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is the first Spider-Man movie to focus on Miles Morales. Miles learns that there is an entire multiverse of spider-themed heroes like himself, including the Peter Parker of another timeline.
