The new "Superman" movie starring David Corenswet debuted with a strong $122 million domestically, ranking as the year's third-largest opening. International box office numbers were slightly lower at $95 million, bringing the global total to $217 million. The film's success is attributed to its classic American hero appeal and positive critical reception (82% on Rotten Tomatoes). The movie's success is crucial for relaunching the DC Universe under James Gunn's direction, following a string of underperforming DC films. Positive word-of-mouth will be key for its long-term box office performance.
