James Gunn’s Superman Soars Past $300 Million Globally

Box Office Triumph

James Gunn's Superman, starring David Corenswet, has taken the global box office by storm, earning more than $300 million worldwide in its first week, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Released on July 11, 2025, the film grossed $177.7 million in the US alone, with international markets contributing significantly. Box Office Mojo reported a slightly lower global cume of $271.4 million as of July 19, but the film's rapidly rising earnings suggest it could soon reach the $400 million mark.

Record-breaking Performance

Achieving a remarkable feat, Superman surpassed the lifetime global earnings of The Flash in just seven days, further solidifying its position at the box office. The film is estimated to gross $55–$62 million worldwide in its second weekend, and retain its top spot despite new releases such as The Smurfs and I Know What You Did Last Summer. In markets such as Japan, it faced tough competition from Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, but its global appeal remains unmatched.

STRONG RECEPTION IN (GLOBALLY)

In India, Superman has grossed approximately ₹33.43 crore by its sixth day (July 17, 2025), outperforming Bollywood releases such as Maalik and Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan. Despite a slight drop in earnings over the weekdays, the film's overwhelming word-of-mouth praise and critical acclaim (82% on Rotten Tomatoes) are boosting ticket sales.

Why It's Buzzing

Directed by James Gunn, Superman has wowed audiences with its new look for the iconic superhero, a blend of action, emotion, and amazing visuals. The film's success is backed by rave reviews and devoted fans, and there are no major superhero rivals until "The Fantastic Four: First Steps," releasing on July 25, 2025.

What's Next?

As Superman makes its presence felt in theaters, industry experts predict it could challenge the domestic grosses of other DC hits like Aquaman. For real-time updates, check out reliable sources like Box Office Mojo or The Hollywood Reporter.
