Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom swims to Max on February 27, 2024.

Max announced the news on X/Twitter, sharing an image of star Jason Mamoa and the words: "the tide is turning. #Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will be available to stream February 27 exclusively on Max."

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is the last DCEU film to be part the DCEU before James Gunn and Peter Safran's DCU begins, and was released in theaters on December 22, 2023. It didn't make a huge splash during its opening weekend, however, as it only earned $28.1 million in North America.

It did pick up some speed during its theatrical run as it ended up bringing in $123.6 million domestically and $433.4 million worldwide, per Box Office Mojo. That puts it just in front of The Flash's $108.1 million and behind Shazam!'s $140.3 million at ninth place in the DCEU in North America.

In our Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom review, we said that when it is "being an Aquaman story and leaning into the silliness and family aspects of it all, it’s fun. The enjoyable bits are just sandwiched between some ugly effects and a weird first act that feel cobbled together from a very different movie."
