Aquaman Pushed Back To Christmas Of 2018

Warner Bros. has pushed back the release date for DC’s Aquaman starring Jason Momoa from October 2018 to December 21, 2018. That prime location was vacated last week when James Cameron said his Avatar 2 would not be ready in time for that date, which had been penciled in for the first in four planned sequels.

That news set other distributors in motion to lockdown potential blockbusters for that lucrative Christmas Week date that suddenly was seeking one; it will be the first Christmas box office frame in three years without a Star Wars movie slotted after 2015’s The Force Awakens, last year’s stand-alone Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and this year’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The untitled Han Solo stand-alone film opens May 25, 2018.

Aquaman stars Momoa, Amber Heard and Patrick Wilson and is directed by James Wan from Will Beall’s script. The marine superhero also is part of the DC Universe gathering for Justice League, which opens November 17 of this year.
