New photo Aquaman is a huge box office hit – and more mums than dads have watched it

THERE’S no denying that Aquaman has become a huge success.

The blockbuster made an incredible $748.8 million (£586 million) at the global box office in its opening weekend – and women have played a large part in that.

According to Deadline, figures compiled by Screen Engine and ComScore’s PostTrak reveal that a significant percentage of Aquaman’s viewers have been women over the age of 25.

The publication also reports that more mums have headed to the cinema then dads, at 52 percent to 48 percent.

Furthermore, 82 percent of these mums are reported to have enjoyed the film.

This is compared to 60 percent of dads.

So, why are we so into Aquaman?

Deadline has described how the film was marketed at women – and lead actor Jason Momoa may have helped with this.

But there was also a clear focus on his co-stars Nicole Kidman and Amber Heard, who play two strong female characters.

Not only that, but reports of the gender gap in comic fandom narrowing have been around since 2015.

Whatever the case, we’re definitely looking forward to the superhero films 2019 has to offer.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
