Overview
- The film has amassed $253 million domestically, leading North America and maintaining strong second-weekend holds driven by positive word of mouth.
- International receipts of $173 million bring the total to $426 million worldwide, pushing Superman past its $400 million break-even mark in just ten days.
- Superman’s global gross eclipsed M. Night Shyamalan’s Signs by $8 million and outstripped the lifetime domestic haul of Tim Burton’s Batman.
- DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn attributes the international gap to Superman’s lower profile in key markets coupled with prevailing anti-American views.
- As the inaugural entry in the Gunn–Safran DC Universe relaunch, the film lays groundwork for future projects such as Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and Peacemaker season 2.
