James Gunn’s Superman has soared past $300 million worldwide at the box office, powered by a strong domestic showing and continued midweek momentum.

Solid Domestic Performance

Superman continues to rank as one of the top-performing openings of 2025. The film’s non-stop appeal punctuated by a record-breaking Wednesday, extended into an equally strong Thursday, confirming robust audience interest beyond the weekend rush.

International Box Office

International markets contributed nearly $122 million to the total so far, maintaining steady hold and adding to the film’s global success.

What This Means for DC Studios

Boost for James Gunn’s DCU reboot: A sign that Warner Bros and DC Studios may be returning to profitability and cultural relevance.

Promising trajectory: With an estimated production budget of $225 million, surpassing the $300 million mark early is a positive indicator for potential profitability.

Looking Ahead

Second weekend showdown: With strong holds, Superman could sustain its momentum against upcoming releases like Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Can it beat ‘The Flash’? The film has already surpassed Ezra Miller’s The Flash total in just one week.

DC’s path forward: Success here sets the stage for future chapters in the DCU, including Supergirl and other upcoming projects under Gunn and Peter Safran’s leadership.

With Superman flying past $300 million worldwide and showcasing strong domestic legs, DC Studios and James Gunn are riding a wave of successful renewal—giving the Man of Steel a launch worthy of his legendary status.
