‘Superman’ Soars to $122 Million, Third-Biggest Box Office Opening Weekend of 2025
Superman can lift up collapsing buildings, Godzilla-sized monsters and, now, the box office.
James Gunn and Peter Safran took over the leadership of DC Studios in 2022 after its last iteration of superhero movies imploded with the epic losing-streak of “The Flash,” “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” “Shazam: Fury of the Gods” and “Blue Beetle.” Though “F1,” starring Brad Pitt as a has-been Formula One driver, carries a massive $250 million price tag (and requires many laps around the track to justify its cost), its ticket sales are notable for an adult-skewing tentpole that’s not part of an existing film franchise. Since “Lilo & Stitch” is practically minting money for the studio (box office returns are nothing compared to Stitch-related consumer product sales), it’s no surprise a live-action sequel is already in the works.
