Overview

  • Warner Bros. and DC’s Superman crossed the $600 million global mark early Friday, finishing Thursday at $599.6 million with about $343.6 million domestic and $256 million overseas, per The Hollywood Reporter.
  • The film is DC’s first release to reach $600 million since 2022’s The Batman, marking a significant box-office rebound for the brand’s relaunch.
  • After overtaking Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning worldwide, industry trackers place Superman at No. 6 among 2025 global releases, trailing How to Train Your Dragon at roughly $626 million.
  • North American momentum continues to outpace overseas results, with the film surpassing Thor: Love and Thunder’s domestic haul to climb higher on the all-time U.S. chart.
  • Profitability remains uncertain given a reported ~$225 million production budget plus marketing and softer international receipts, though PVOD rollout began around August 15 to open another revenue stream.
