Superman Tops Weekend Box Office with $122M Domestic Debut
The new Superman movie, directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet, achieved a major box office success with a domestic opening weekend gross of approximately $122-$125 million and a global total of around $217-$220 million. This performance places it as the third-highest domestic opening of 2025, trailing only "Minecraft" and "Lilo & Stitch," and surpasses the previous Superman standalone film "Man of Steel" from 2013. Despite calls for boycotts and criticism labeling the film as "woke" due to its immigrant-themed storyline, the movie resonated with audiences and helped bolster Warner Bros. Discovery's DC Studios during a challenging period for the film industry. The film's success is considered a significant win for DC Studios and Warner Bros., especially as James Gunn, co-CEO of DC Studios, aims to revitalize the studio's cinematic universe. Industry insiders note that the film’s strong opening weekend reflects well on Gunn's direction and the studio's strategic bet on his creative vision. Additionally, the film's opening ranks as the best for a first Superman franchise installment and marks a high point for DC Studios' box office achievements in 2025.
