‘Superman’ Hits Tracking With $90M-$125M+ U.S. Opening
DeadlineThursday, June 19, 2025 at 3:54:00 PM
The new Superman movie, the first under DC Studios' fresh leadership by James Gunn and Peter Safran, is generating buzz with early box office projections. Tracking initially suggested a strong $125M-$145M U.S. opening, but industry insiders think a more realistic range is $90M-$125M. The iconic hero’s brand power is already showing in audience awareness polls, hinting at solid interest—though not quite as sky-high as early estimates.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another superhero flick—it’s the first big test for DC’s revamped cinematic universe under Gunn and Safran. If it lands in that $90M+ range, it’ll signal strong momentum for the franchise’s reboot. But if it underperforms, it could raise questions about superhero fatigue or audience trust in DC’s new direction. Either way, all eyes are on Metropolis.
