  • North American cume has reached $337 million, allowing Superman to overtake Spider-Man 3’s $336.5 million and enter the top tier of highest-grossing superhero films domestically.
  • Worldwide gross stands at approximately $588.7 million, surpassing Iron Man’s $585.8 million haul and climbing to No. 34 on Warner Bros.’ all-time global chart.
  • International receipts total about $252 million, highlighting a gap in overseas performance compared with robust domestic numbers.
