James Gunn’s Superman Shatters Box Office Records

James Gunn’s Superman revival has electrified the box office with a $217 million global opening weekend, signalling a powerful new beginning for DC Studios. The film earned $122 million domestically across 4,135 theatres and $95 million from 79 international markets, becoming 2025’s first superhero movie to cross the $100 million threshold.

The film’s success marks a turning point for DC Entertainment after several challenging years. Gunn, serving dual roles as writer-director and DC Studios co-chair alongside Peter Safran, has delivered what Warner Bros. executives call “the foundation of our new DC universe.” The studio reports exceptional audience reception with an A-CinemaScore and 94% Rotten Tomatoes audience rating.

Warner Bros. Distribution President Jeff Goldstein stated, “This achievement goes beyond box office numbers – we’ve regained our fans’ trust.” CEO David Zaslav revealed ambitious plans: “Superman launches a decade-long storytelling journey that continues with Supergirl, Clayface, and HBO Max’s Lanterns series.”

I'm betting that Superman will make $750 million (high end) at the box office. More than enough to secure a sequel, but realistically it could end anywhere in the high $500 – $600M due to it being sandwiched in-between Jurassic World and Fantastic Four pic.twitter.com/CzgB0qmTNg

The Man of Steel’s return exceeded expectations in several key areas. It surpassed Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel ($116.7 million debut) and joined the elite 2025 releases that crossed $100M domestically. It became only the fourth DC film in eight years to achieve this milestone.

The film’s cultural impact was amplified when former President Donald Trump shared a Superman-themed meme during opening weekend, highlighting the character’s enduring American symbolism. While international numbers were slightly softer, analysts attribute this to Superman’s quintessential American identity.

With an 82% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and strong word-of-mouth, Gunn’s vision has resonated with a wide range of audiences. This production marks Warner Bros. Discovery’s first significant success in creating a cohesive DC cinematic universe, positioning Superman as the cornerstone of their ambitious ten-year plan.
