Summary
Superman is flying to the top of the box office as it earned $217 million USD during its opening weekend.
Variety reports that James Gunn‘s latest DC film grossed $122 million USD domestically, making it the third-largest debut of 2025 so far. It’s placed just behind A Minecraft Movie and Lilo & Stitch, and also took in an additional $95 million USD at the global box office from 78 markets. Superman cost Warner Bros. and DC Studios $225 million USD to produce, and another $100 million USD for promotion.
“This is an outstanding domestic opening. If there’s any softness here, it’s overseas,” David A. Gross of FranchiseRe said. “Superman has always been identified as an American character, and in some parts of the world, America is currently not enjoying its greatest popularity.”
“Three years ago, I hired James Gunn and Peter Safran to reimagine and unify the creative direction of DC under one leadership team,” said David Zaslav, president and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, in a statement. “The DC vision is clear, the momentum is real, and I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead.”
