Superman smashes box office expectations, soaring towards $130 million opening | News Channel 3-12

UNITED STATES, JUL 12 – The new Superman film is projected to open near $130 million domestically, marking the strongest DC Comics debut since 2022 and reflecting positive audience and critical reception.

  • Warner Bros./DC is releasing the 2025 Superman movie directed by James Gunn, with $56.5 million earned domestically through Thursday previews and Friday.
  • This release follows recent superhero box office fatigue seen with 2023's The Marvels and challenges projecting success amid DC Studios' struggles.
  • Superman earned $21.5 million internationally on opening day, with the UK leading at $3.6 million and Spain marking Gunn’s largest debut with $1 million amid mixed global responses.
  • Senior analyst Paul Dergarabedian said, "Superman just screams summer popcorn movie," as 82% Rotten Tomatoes and 95% audience scores boost weekend projections near $125 million domestically.
  • Deals for a trilogy are signed, and early box office strength suggests a DC Comics reboot opportunity and potential stabilization for Warner Bros. despite mixed international outcomes.
