“Superman” scored the third-biggest opening weekend in 2025 at the box office, earning $125 million in its first weekend of release. Only “A Minecraft Movie” ($162 million) and “Lilo & Stitch” ($146 million) had a bigger opening weekend thus far this year.
The newest take on the Man of Steel from the relaunched DC Universen (helmed by James Gunn and Peter Safran), stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, and Rachel as Lois Lane,
David Zaslav, president and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, in a statement: “Three years ago, I hired James Gunn and Peter Safran to reimagine and unify the creative direction of DC under one leadership team. The DC vision is clear, the momentum is real, and I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead.”
Coming in at No. 2 over the weekend was Jurassic World: Rebirth with $40 million, followed by F1 at No. 3 with $13 million, How to Train Your Dragon at No. 4 with $8 million and Elio at No. 5 with $3.9 million.
