The question now is if DC Studios can keep the momentum going with movies about Supergirl and Clayface.

Warner Bros.’ “ Superman ” debuted atop the U.K. and Ireland box office with £6.9 million ($9.4 million), according to Comscore.

"Superman is just the first step. Over the next year alone, DC Studios will introduce the films Supergirl and Clayface in theaters and the series Lanterns on HBO Max, all part of a bold ten-year plan," added Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav. "The DC vision is clear, the momentum is real, and I couldn't be more excited for what's ahead."

Superman” flexed solid box office muscle in its debut weekend. Warner Bros. Discovery boss David Zaslav took an early victory lap over the Man of Steel’s performance, while Rihanna arrived fashionably late to Sunday’s premiere of “Smurfs” with her two young sons in tow.

James Gunn’s Superman, starring David Corenswet in the cape, has had an impressive start at the Indian box office, despite a noticeable dip in collections on its first Monday. The reboot has outperformed current Bollywood releases and is already among the top-performing Hollywood films of 2025 in India.

Superman” ruled the box office as the comic book adventure touched down with $217 million globally. That breakdown includes $95 million overseas and $122 million domestically. Attendance was slightly softer than expected at the international box office,
