Up, up, and away goes Superman! With James Gunn's Superman performing well at the worldwide box office, the DC Universe's reboot has gotten off to a fantastic start. In its first weekend, the movie, which features David Corenswet in the title role, has nearly made up for its production expenses. Additionally, it is now the Superman movie with the highest opening ever, surpassing the record established by Zack Snyder's Man of Steel twelve years prior.

Superman's box office results

With a solid domestic debut, James Gunn's Superman has made $122 million to top the weekend box office rankings in the United States and Canada. Furthermore, Warner Bros., the film's production company, has announced $95 million in revenue from overseas markets. With this, Superman makes a worldwide premiere of $217 million on its first weekend. Considering the superhero movie's $225 million production cost, its future seems promising.

Superman vs. Man of Steel

The best-opening solo Superman movie ever is currently Superman. With $217 million in its opening weekend, it represents a significant increase over the $190 million that Zack Snyder's Henry Cavill-starrer Man of Steel earned in 2013. Before that, Superman Returns (2006), which starred Brandon Routh, had its debut with a little over $100 million. The original Superman film (the one from 1978 with Christopher Reeve) earned $7.5 million in North America during its first weekend, demonstrating how much the times have changed. At that point, it was the highest ever for any Warner Bros. picture.
