US Edition‘Superman’ Set To Pass $600 Million At Global Box Office This Weekend
Superman, directed by James Gunn, is the first 2025 superhero film to surpass $600 million globally, achieving this milestone in its seventh week amid ongoing superhero genre fatigue.
- On Friday, James Gunn's Superman became the first superhero film this year to top $600 million globally, crossing the mark after Thursday's $599.6 million total with $343.6 million domestic and $256 million overseas.
- As the studio's reboot, Superman serves as the inaugural release of a rebooted DC under James Gunn and Peter Safran, carrying a net budget of at least $225 million before marketing.
- After its July 11 opening weekend, Superman earned $125 million domestically and gained strong international totals with the United Kingdom at $36.8 million, Mexico $23 million, Brazil $16.4 million, and Australia $15.9 million.
- The milestone provided a morale boost for James Gunn, director, and Peter Safran, DC Studios co-CEO, as they rebuild DC's cinematic fortunes, with Gunn saying it brought `an enormous sense of relief`.
- Analysts note that 2025 marks the first year since 2011 without a superhero blockbuster topping $700M; projections place Superman's domestic finish between 350 and 360 million and worldwide run at 615 to 620 million.
