Overview

  • Global ticket sales stand around $594–595 million, overtaking 2008’s Iron Man on an unadjusted basis and ranking as 2025’s top superhero release to date.
  • Domestic receipts total about $340 million, outpacing overseas revenue and pushing the film past Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 in lifetime U.S. grosses.
  • Variety reports the run is unlikely to reach the $670 million unadjusted global total of 2013’s Man of Steel.
  • The movie is now available on digital after an earlier-than-usual PVOD release that James Gunn said was timed to precede Peacemaker season two.
  • Costs and profitability remain disputed, with a commonly cited $225 million production budget contrasted with analyses that assume higher all-in spending and a higher break-even threshold.
