James Gunn's "Superman" enjoys a stellar box office debut, raking in $217 million globally during its opening weekend. This marks the best opening ever for a solo Superman film and the third-best opening of the year overall, exceeding expectations and even surpassing the opening weekend of "Man of Steel." Positive critical and audience reception, along with a relatively controlled budget, contribute to its success, offering a promising start to Warner Bros.' revamped DC Universe.
