The world had Superman fever this weekend and made it known by seeing Big Blue’s newest cinematic outing.
The numbers don’t lie: a lot of people went to go see Superman this weekend.
Per the Hollywood Reporter, James Gunn’s reboot of the DC hero earned an estimated $217 million in its three-day debut. Of that, $122 million came from North America, making it the first superhero movie in the territory since 2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine to cross $100 million. Compared to other DC films, it’s the brand’s first movie to cross that milestone in North America since 2022’s The Batman ($134 million), and it beat out Man of Steel’s $116.7 million as the best-ever domestic launch for a Superman movie.
