‘Superman’ Slows Near $612 Million Worldwide as PVOD Release Curtails Theatrical Run
A mid-August PVOD rollout is hastening the film’s late-run slowdown.
Overview
- Superman has reached $611.6 million worldwide, including $351.8 million in North America, which is roughly 57% of its total, according to Box Office Mojo.
- Daily grosses have fallen below $1 million, Labor Day delivered about $700,000, theater counts have dipped under 2,000, and a 24% weekend drop was reported.
- The film’s debut on PVOD platforms is drawing audiences to digital and is likely to accelerate the end of its theatrical play.
- James Gunn’s DC entry remains about $233.9 million behind Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 globally and still trails that film’s $358.9 million domestic haul.
- Reception remains strong, with an 83% critics and 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, an A- from CinemaScore, and broad praise for David Corenswet’s portrayal.
