Overview

• Superman earned $16.6 million on its second Friday to lift its 10-day domestic total to $194.4 million and is tracking toward a $235 million three-day weekend.
• The film’s 50% drop from opening frames outperforms typical sophomore declines for superhero tentpoles and ranks it as the eighth-highest North American grosser of 2025.
• New wide releases I Know What You Did Last Summer, Smurfs and Eddington opened with previews of $2.2 million, no previews and $625,000 respectively and are projected to earn roughly $13–15 million, $12 million and $4.5 million this weekend.
• With production budgets of $18 million, $58 million and $25 million, only the low-budget horror sequel is poised for rapid profitability while the animation and satire face higher break-even hurdles.
• Backed by a $225 million budget, Superman’s sustained box office strength underpins DC Studios and Warner Bros. Discovery’s roadmap for spinoffs like Supergirl and Clayface in 2026.
