On the other hand, AuthorJul 16, 2025, 05:19pm EDTJul 16, 2025, 05:21pm EDTLast weekend was a celebration for Superman, after a $125 million domestic debut and $220 million global launch for WBD and DC Studio’s newly rebooted DCU

Meanwhile, Now Superman adds a solid $13 million Monday and massive $17 million Tuesday to push that figure to $155 million domestic

Moreover, Forbes‘Batman Begins’ Celebrates 20th Anniversary As ‘Superman’ Takes FlightBy Mark Hughes By midweek, we’re now looking at a first-week cume of apximately $310 million heading into second weekend for Superman, with indicators pointing to a healthy $55 million North American gross and perhaps another $4o million overseas

That would help Superman gain altitude into $400 million territory, a good place to be and a sign $500+ million feels more and more assured

Higher end outcomes could push Superman to $320 million ahead of Friday, and see an additional $60 million domestic and $50 million internationally, for a $430 million (or more) finish on Sunday

If that happens, and if Superman looks to be losing any steam with family ticket-buyers on Wednesday Thursday, then we could see a more modest $295 million worldwide total heading into a more typical (or higher) second week drop

On the other hand, Subsequently, a $50 million domestic and $35 million foreign result (assuming low-end outcomes) adds up to just $395 million after weekend #2, and Superman would be in danger of failing to reach $500 million by the end of its run, as weekend #3 sees Marvel’s Fantastic Four: First Steps taking charge of the box office for a while

Because it or not, the film’s budget and marketing cost $350 million, the studios get less than half of the box office revenue, and that means… yeah, $700 million isn’t just some random number I picked from thin air a week or so ago

Additionally, Forbes‘Lilo & Stitch’ Beats ‘Minecraft’ As First $1 Billion 2025 BlockbusterBy Mark Hughes As I’ve explained before, box office alone isn’t the only relevant factor here, and the math can be complicated, and Superman mostly needs to get good audience and critical reactions while hitting a box office number that defied the DCEU’s final nine movies – $500 million

So Superman needs $500 million, and even better $600 million

Additionally, They won’t just shut down or shelve/cancel ductions if Superman only makes $495 million (again, a highly unly worst-case scenario), but they’d certainly make adjustments to those jects and have serious discussions how to ceed next

Additionally, On the other hand, I simply don’t believe it’s credible to think WBD executives won’t intervene if Superman fails to maintain altitude north of $495 million (which is quite significant)

Finishing at a more moderate level instantly pushes Superman toward a final number closer to $600+ million, where I feel it’s destined to wind up (an important development)

What’s most ly for Superman in coming days is $310-315 million cume through Thursday, around $57 million domestic weekend and $42 million international, totaling roughly $410-415 million through close of Sunday

That trajectory would in turn suggests a finish of $550-575 million as a moderate outcome, or $600 million range if it continues to hold better, given the current landscape

I don’t really see $700 million in the cards for Superman unless international steps up more than it has so far, but this is still early in the first week so anything is still possible
