VIDEO : The Success Of 'Aquaman' Is Partly Due To Women

Aquaman's impressive box office haul has been in large part due to women heading to theaters to watch the DC Comics movie, something director James Wan expected from test screening results. "Time and time again during our tests, we saw how well Aquaman played with women," Wan pointed out. Warner Bros. also leveraged key roles in the film played by its female stars Nicole Kidman and Amber Heard as their respective Atlanna and Mera characters. "Moms turned out in greater numbers than Dads, 56% to 44% and enjoyed Aquaman more, 91% to 85%," Deadline reports. I felt like Aquaman ticked a lot of boxes for me.
