Box Office: ‘Superman’ Saves the Day for DC Studios With $122M Domestic Opening, $217M Globally

Directed by James Gunn, the superhero pic appears to be succeeding in rebooting both the Warner Bros.-owned DC and its most prized comic book film franchise.

To boot, it beat Zack Snyder’s 2013 film Man of Steel($116.7 million) to rank as the biggest domestic launch ever for a solo Superman pic, not adjusted for inflation. And even rival studios cautioned that the marketplace is over-saturated with male-skewing fare, between Universal’s Fourth of July blockbuster Jurassic World Rebirth and F1: The Movie, from Apple Original Films in partnership with Warners. Rounding out the cast are Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho and Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific.
