Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom recently met a box office milestone that helped make it a nice capstone to the DCEU. The movie is a direct sequel to the surprise hit Aquaman, which is the highest grossing DCEU film by a wide margin. This likely helped create more interest in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, despite the fact that the DCEU will not be continuing after it. Some audience members may also have been curious to see the conclusion of the DCEU, which started back in 2013 with Man of Steel.
