Superman has soared even increased up a serious field workplace chart. The James Gunn-directed film, which debuted on July 11, stars David Corenswet because the titular character. It’s the first theatrical installment within the DC Universe, a superhero franchise that could be a mushy reboot of the DC Prolonged Universe, which beforehand starred Henry Cavill within the position.
2025’s Superman is already the seventh highest-grossing film of 2025 on the time of writing in addition to the highest-grossing superhero film of the yr. Whereas Marvel’s The Improbable 4: First Steps bought the closest, the Gunn film managed to outgross it, in addition to its predecessors Thunderbolts* and Captain America: Courageous New World.
Per The Numbers, as of Thursday, Superman has hit a cumulative worldwide field workplace complete of $614.4 million earlier than the top of its ninth full week in theaters. This complete includes $353.5 million from the home field workplace and an extra $260.9 million from worldwide markets.
By hitting that complete, Superman has managed to soar additional up the chart of the highest-grossing superhero motion pictures of all time. It has simply skirted previous the $614.2 million haul of the 2017 X-Males spinoff film Logan to hit No. 48.
What This Means For Superman
This chart placement cements Superman’s dominance over 2025 superhero motion pictures, in addition to nearly all of the DCEU motion pictures. In reality, the one theatrical titles among the many 15 motion pictures from the earlier iteration of the franchise that lie above it on the all-time chart are Justice League, Man of Metal, Suicide Squad, Marvel Girl, Batman v Superman, and Aquaman.
Additionally it is the tenth highest-grossing DC superhero film general on the chart, moreover falling behind The Batman, The Darkish Knight, and The Darkish Knight Rises. 2019’s billion-dollar film Joker is just not on the chart as a result of it technically follows a DC villain, not a hero.
Nevertheless, regardless of its success amongst its contemporaries, Superman doesn’t appear to have an opportunity of reaching the Prime 20 superhero motion pictures of all time. The present No. 20 title is Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, which hit a complete that’s greater than $250 million increased than Superman’s present worldwide haul.
As a result of Superman is already obtainable for buy and rental on video on demand, it appears unlikely that its theatrical run has sufficient momentum left for it to succeed in that top.
