Superman just had one of the biggest opening weekends of 2025.
James Gunn's "Superman" soared to the top of the box office this weekend, notching a win for Warner Bros. and DC Studios, which see the film as a way to revive the entire DC universe.
It’s a bird… it’s a plane… it’s a box office hit! At least that’s how Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav is touting the initial results for “Superman,” which climbed to $122 million domestically and $217 million globally in its opening weekend.
“Superman” opened with an impressive $122 million at the domestic box office, Warner Bros. told multiple outlets Sunday, after landing the year’s second-largest opening day Friday, with the film on track to gross over $217 million internationally.
Despite Warner Bros. Discovery ultimately being split into two companies, CEO David Zaslav can celebrate a big win this weekend with DC Studios' Superman.
That breakdown includes $95 million overseas and $122 million domestically. Attendance was slightly softer than expected at the international box office, though box office watchers believe that’s partially due to Superman’s deeply patriotic roots. His motto, after all, is “Truth, justice and the American way.”
"Superman" reboots the DC Universe by throwing audiences right into the action. If you got a bit lost towards the end, we're here to help.
