Warner Bros./DC Studios’ “Superman” faced little competition from Sony Pictures’ “I Know What You Did Last Summer” and Paramount’s “The Smurfs,” easily holding on to the No. 1 spot and passing $400 million worldwide.
James Gunn’s well-received start to the new DC universe earned $57.6 million domestic and $45.2 million international this weekend, bringing its total to $235 million domestic and $406 million worldwide.
At this pace, “Superman” will earn somewhere in the range of $350 million domestic and $600 million global, the latter figure being behind the total of the 2013 film “Man of Steel” but still a solid foundation for the franchise reboot. Stiff competition from Universal’s “Jurassic World” and, in some markets, Warner/Apple’s “F1,” have weighed down the overseas numbers for “Superman.”
More to come…
