Warner Bros.’ latest comic book adventure generated $22 million on Tuesday for a five-day haul of $105 million. That’s one of the best Christmas Day haul’s sans “Avatar” or a “Star Wars” entry. “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” still holds the distinction as best single day showing for the holiday, racking up $49 million in 2015. Directed by James Wan and starring Jason Momoa, “Aquaman” has now grossed over $500 million worldwide.

It exploded on Christmas with an Avatar -like jump.

But still fell well short of your ass handed predictions.

Aquaman did well.

YOU did poorly.

You lose to Aquaman.

Warner Bros.’ Aquaman surfed to a highly successful holiday box office [via Variety], taking in another $22 million on Christmas day and bringing its five-day domestic total to $105 million.

This number puts James Wan‘s DC Comics epic in good company in terms of Christmas day hauls, behind only Avatar ($23 million), Sherlock Holmes ($24.6 million), and three straight Star Wars movies: Rogue One ($25.8 million), The Last Jedi ($27.4 million), and The Force Awakens ($49 million).

Of course, Aquaman is surging worldwide, already spearing over $500 million overseas. But back home over the holidays, it faced stiff competition
