Superman, directed by James Gunn, achieved $122 million in U.S. and Canada ticket sales, marking a critical moment for DC Studios. This release represents a new beginning under Gunn and Peter Safran's leadership. The film punctuates a shift for Warner Bros., being their fifth consecutive movie to open above $45 million. However, international performance was weaker, with $95 million across 78 markets. Critics noted that Superman's appeal remains strongest in America, highlighting a challenging landscape for DC's film adaptation.
This is the first release fully steered by Gunn and Peter Safran since they were handed the keys to DC's superhero cinematic universe, marking a fresh start for DC Studios.
Superman opened with $122 million in U.S. and Canada ticket sales, becoming the first DC title to surpass $100 million in its opening weekend since Wonder Woman in 2017.
