The Superman 2025 movie has achieved a notable box office performance, crossing $400 million globally after its second weekend of release. The breakdown is approximately $235 million domestically (North America) and $171.8 million in international markets, totaling $406.8 million worldwide as of the July 20-21 weekend.
- Second Weekend U.S. Performance: $57.25 million, with just a 54% drop from its opening—a strong hold compared to previous Superman and DC films, indicating positive reception and strong word-of-mouth.
- Cumulative U.S. Total: $235 million after 10 days, already outperforming the entire domestic run of Superman Returns and closing in on Man of Steel’s $291 million.
- International Reception: While domestic numbers are high, international performance is lower than hoped, described as “anemic” relative to expectations, but still historically strong for a Superman film.
Comparative Franchise Data:

|---|---|---|

| Superman Returns (2006) | $200M | $391M |
| Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) | $330M | $873M |
- The new Superman 2025 has already passed Superman Returns’ global total and is tracking to overtake other entries, though likely not Batman v Superman or Man of Steel on a worldwide scale.
- Industry analysts expect the film to go well over $500 million globally, barring a sharp third-weekend drop.
