DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, UNITED STATES, JUL 12 – James Gunn's Superman reboot earned $122 million domestically and $217 million globally, marking the best DC opening since 2017 and signaling a fresh start for the franchise.
- Warner Bros. Pictures released the 2025 film Superman, which topped the North American box office with an estimated $122 million in its debut weekend.

- Superman features an all-star cast, received well by audiences with 82% on Rotten Tomatoes and 95% on Popcornmeter, and explores themes of human kindness as emphasized by director James Gunn.
- Analysts like Paul Dergarabedian describe Superman as a "summer popcorn movie" offering an irresistible draw, with early estimates predicting around $90 million and actuals reaching $122 million, marking one of the strongest openings for a DC reboot.
