Superman has had a stellar opening weekend, hitting $122 million in the U.S. alone, making it the third-biggest box office launch of the year.
DCU movies have been in steep decline over recent years, as the muddle of tonally confusing films saw decreasing interest.
The only two films in the franchise to open to over $50 million since are 2019's Shazam! and 2023's The Flash.
Gunn managed to deliver a much more interesting opening take on the classic superhero.
