Box Office: ‘Superman’ Lifts Off With $56.5 Million Opening Day — Second-Biggest of 2025


'Superman' took off at the box office with a great $56 million opening day, giving James Gunn's new DC Universe a strong launch.

It’s a successful lift-off for the Man of Steel, plus an additional notch for the box office hot streak at Warner Bros., which has strung together a run of hits that started with the opening of “A Minecraft Movie” back in April. David Corenswet becomes the Man of Steel in this reboot, facing off against billionaire Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) and, under his day-player name Clark Kent, working with journalist Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan). There are also a bunch of other superheroes, including Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan) and Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi) — plus Daily Planet reporter Jimmy Olsen (Skyler Gisondo) too.
