James Gunn’s Superman Crosses $500M Global Box Office

James Gunn's rebooted Superman film has achieved significant box office success, surpassing $500 million worldwide just three weeks after its release. The movie has earned approximately $290 million domestically and $213 million internationally, making it the first DC non-Batman film to cross this threshold since Aquaman in 2018. Despite strong competition from Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Superman has maintained solid attendance and is expected to surpass the domestic gross of the 2013 Man of Steel soon. This milestone marks a positive start for Warner Bros. Discovery and the newly appointed DC Studios leadership, James Gunn and Peter Safran, who have a decade-long plan to revive the franchise with fresh takes on iconic characters like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. The film's hopeful tone and strong audience reception contrast with the divisive reactions to previous DC films, signaling renewed confidence in the franchise's future. Superman's global box office trajectory positions it to potentially reach $640 to $700 million by the end of its theatrical run.
