"Superman" Crosses $400 Million at Global Box Office
'Superman,' the newly rebooted comic book adventure starring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, continues to rule the worldwide box office, reaching $406 million after two weekends of release.
Those ticket sales include $171.8 million overseas and $235 million from the North American market.
Turnout remains slower than expected at the international box office, where 'Superman' added $45.2 million in its second weekend. Outsized global appeal is vital because the comic book reboot has the lofty goal of launching a new phase of superhero movies for the Warner Bros.-backed DC Studios.
Two interconnected spinoffs, 'Supergirl' and 'Clayface,' will land in 2026, while a new 'Wonder Woman' movie is in the works. Furthermore, 'Superman' will face steep competition next weekend as another comic book adventure, Disney and Marvel's 'The Fantastic Four,' opens in theaters.
Meanwhile, Universal's 'Jurassic World Rebirth' had another huge showing with $40.2 million from 82 overseas territories in its third weekend of release. So far, the prehistoric tentpole has earned a towering $371 million internationally and $647 million globally.
The dinosaur reboot, starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali, is one of only three Hollywood films to surpass the $600 million mark this year, the others being 'Lilo & Stitch' ($1.008 billion) and 'A Minecraft Movie' ($955 million).
However, the latest 'Jurassic' has T-rex-sized footprints to fill at the box office since the prior sequel trilogy, led by Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, each grossed $1 billion globally.
In terms of newcomers, Paramount's animated 'Smurfs' musical collected $22.6 million from 58 markets. Along with a domestic debut of $11 million, the family film has earned $36 million worldwide to date. It's an underwhelming start for the $58 million-budgeted film, which will likely drive consumer product sales even if the film fails to launch a new cinematic universe.
Top-earning territories include France ($3.7 million), the United Kingdom ($1.7 million), and Brazil ($1.6 million). Rihanna leads the voice cast of 'Smurfs' as Smurfette alongside the sprawling ensemble of James Corden, Nick Offerman, Natasha Lyonne, Sandra Oh, Jimmy Kimmel, Octavia Spencer, and John Goodman.
Another new release, Sony's R-rated 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' launched to $11.6 million from 58 markets. The slasher sequel, which brought together the stars of the original 1998 film, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt, with newcomers Madelyn Cline and Chase Sui-Wonders, debuted in North America with $13 million for a global start of $24.6 million.
Although nostalgia isn't as strong as Sony might have expected when rebooting the decades-old franchise, the studio spent a modest $18 million to produce the film, meaning there isn't a high bar to clear in terms of profitability.
In another box office milestone, Apple's 'F1: The Movie' has revved past the $450 million mark globally. So far, the $250 million-budgeted film has collected a huge $307.2 million internationally and $460.8 million worldwide. At this point, 'F1' has earned more in just overseas markets than any of Apple's prior movies — including Martin Scorsese's 'Killers of the Flower Moon' ($158 million worldwide) and Ridley Scott's 'Napoleon' ($221 million) — have generated in their entire global box office runs. It's a mighty achievement for an original tentpole that's aimed at adult audiences as well as a testament to Pitt's star power and the popularity of the Formula One motorsport.

"Five Nights at Freddy's 2" Unveils Trailer
Yara Sameh The official trailer for 'Five Nights at Freddy's 2' has been unveiled, teasing the continuation of Freddy Fazbear's chilling reign. The sequel from Universal and Blumhouse has a new tagline: 'Anyone can survive five nights. This time, there will be no second chances.' Emma Tammi returns as director. Josh Hutcherson, star of the first film, also returns for the sequel, which includes cast members Matthew Lillard, Elizabeth Lail and Piper Rubio. The first film, which earned $297 million at the global box office, featured Hutcherson playing a security guard at Freddys Fazbear's Pizza. It went on to become Blumhouse's highest-grossing movie ever. Hutcherson told Variety last year that the huge success was unexpected. 'We hoped it would connect with audiences,' Hutcherson said. 'But I don't think that anybody, even on our side of things, expected it to really connect the way that it did.' Hutcherson also hinted to Esquire the follow-up would be 'scarier.' 'There's more animatronics being brought in, different animatronics being brought in, and the world just opens up in a big way,' he said to the publication. Murtada Elfadl reviewed the first film for Variety, writing that 'Hollywood has not been successful at turning video games into movies — a disappointing streak that 'Five Nights at Freddy's' fails to correct.' Elfadl added that 'there's not enough of the animatronic creatures. Despite their distinctive look, they are not used effectively for horror or hilarity, missing the mark on both counts.' 'Five Nights at Freddy's 2' hits theaters December 5. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
