Warner Bros. shook up its film release schedule Friday, shifting DC superhero extravaganza “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” ever-so-slightly — two days from Wednesday to Friday, Dec. 20 to Dec. 22 — and Robert De Niro mobster picture “Alto Knights” (formerly “The Wise Guys”) from Feb. 2, 2024 to Nov. 15, 2024.
Now opening Christmas weekend, “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” is the sequel to 2018’s “Aquaman,” still the highest grossing DC movie in history, with $1.152 billion worldwide. Director James Wan returns for the sequel, as do stars Jason Momoa, Patrick Wilson, Amber Heard, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Nicole Kidman.
