James Wan's Aquaman, the newest installment in Warner Bros.' DC Extended Universe, will retain its top spot at this weekend's box office.

According to Deadline, Aquaman will earn approximately $52.1 million domestically in its second weekend of release in North America. This represents a drop of 23% from its opening weekend, which saw the movie earn $72 million.

Owing in part to a particularly strong performance in China, Aquaman is expected to reach $750 million worldwide by Sunday. Some projections peg Aquaman as earning approximately $1 billion at the worldwide box office before it finishes its run, though whether the film will actually hit that massive milestone remains to be seen. Regardless, Aquaman has already earned more money worldwide than 2017's Justice League and is one of the most-profitable films in the DCEU.

Women are, reportedly, helping to drive Aquaman's success at the box office and are showing up in large numbers for the hero's first solo outing.

The second highest-grossing film of the weekend will be Disney's Mary Poppins Returns, which has earned $102.9 million after two weeks in theaters. Bumblebee and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse were the 3rd and 4th highest-earning films of the weekend, respectively.
