Overview

  • In its third weekend, the film topped $500 million worldwide, the first DC release to reach that milestone since The Batman in 2022.
  • U.S. box office receipts of $289.5 million account for the majority of its cumulative total, with international takings at about $213.2 million.
  • Backed by a $225 million production budget plus $125 million in marketing, the film has already cleared its $450 million production break-even point.
  • It ranks as the top-grossing superhero release of 2025 after surpassing Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Captain America: Brave New World.
  • Analysts forecast a final worldwide gross of $600 million to $700 million, putting it on track to challenge Man of Steel’s $670 million lifetime total.
