The Superman 2025 box office numbers for its opening week have been impressive but also slightly below expectations in some regards. The James Gunn-directed reboot of Superman in the DCU had a projection of around $125-150 million domestically, a number that has unfortunately fallen as the film has gotten closer to its nationwide July 11 launch. The movie has only barely met those predictions, but its worldwide performance has greatly helped its ticket sales overall when combined with its current US numbers. Here’s a breakdown of how well Superman 2025 is doing at the box office so far.
What is Superman 2025’s box office performance so far?
Current tracking for Superman 2025 at the box office have the movie earning about $232million worldwide for its opening week from July 10 to July 16.
These numbers are based on a report from from Box Office Mojo, which has the film’s performance at $137 million in domestic sales and $95 million in international sales. The figures fall in line with a report from Deadline, which stated that by Monday, July 14 (so, its opening weekend), Superman had earned $125 million in the United States and $95 million internationally.
Here’s a breakdown of how Superman 2025 is tracking so far around the world for its opening weekend (in alphabetical order by country):
- Australia – $5.3 million
- Brazil – $5.9 million
- China – $6.6 million
- Columbia – $1.5 million
- France – $4.2 million
- India – $3.8 million
- Japan – $2.5 million
- Korea – $4.2 million
- Mexico – $8.8 million
- Spain – $2.9 million
- United Arab Emirates – $2.2 million
- United Kingdom – $9,8 million
Put into context, Supermans’s global opening is the third-best in 2025 and is higher than the $116 million opening weekend for Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel in 2013. The budget for Superman 2025 has been estimated to be $225 million, so the film will likely need to cross the $500 million mark to break even and over $700 million to be considered a success by DC.
However, the film’s domestic performance of $125 million for its opening weekend means that the gradual lowering of its box office predictions were warranted. Original projections in June had the DCU reboot receiving somewhere between $154 million and $185 million before being decreased in July to $125-150 million.
