"Superman" Crosses $400 Million at Global Box Office

"Superman" Crosses $400 Million at Global Box Office

Yara Sameh
'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.

Madonna Drops Album "Veronica Electronica": Stream It Now

Yara Sameh "Veronica Electronica" has finally entered the zone. After 27 years, Madonna's long-rumored "Ray of Light" remix album became a reality on Friday. The project features rare and unreleased edits of songs from her 1998 masterpiece. Remixers on the project include "Ray of Light" co-creator William Orbit and clubs kings Peter Rauhofer, Sasha, BT and Victor Calderone. It also includes the original demo of 'Gone, Gone, Gone,' a previously unreleased recording co-produced by Madonna and Rick Nowels, who co-wrote several Ray of Light tracks alongside her in the late '90s. The rest of the tracklist includes 'Drowned World/Substitute For Love,' 'Ray Of Light,' 'Skin,' 'Nothing Really Matters,' 'Sky Fits Heaven,' 'Frozen,' and 'The Power Of Good-Bye.' Released in February of 1998, "Ray of Light" remained 78 weeks on the Billboard 200, peaking at No. 2. (The Titanic soundtrack hindered it from achieving the top spot.) The record generated four Hot 100 hits with the title track, 'Frozen,' 'The Power of Goodbye' and 'Nothing Really Matters' and won four Grammy awards, including the trophy for best pop album, in 1999. "Ray of Light" was a major moment for electronic music's mainstream crossover, with Madonna being the first major pop artist to do an entirely electronic album and thus helping push '90s club culture onto radio and into pop culture. While "Veronica Electronica" was originally intended to be a remix companion to "Ray of Light," it was shelved due to the success of the album, which ultimately sold more than 16 million copies.

"Wolfenstein" TV Series in Works

Yara Sameh A TV series adaptation of the 'Wolfenstein' video games is in development at Amazon MGM Studios. While the exact plot details are being kept under wraps, the official logline of the series simply states, 'The story of killing Nazis is evergreen.' Patrick Somerville is attached to serve as the creator, writer, executive producer, and showrunner on the project under his production banner. Jonah Nolan, Lisa Joy, and Athena Wickham will executive produce via Kilter Films. James Altman of Keyframe Films and Jerk Gustafsson of 'Wolfenstein' developer MachineGames will also executive produce. The 'Wolfenstein' franchise helped popularize first-person shooter video games. It have largely centered on U.S. World War II solider William 'B.J.' Blazkowicz. In the games, Blazkowicz goes behind enemy lines to fight the Nazis, only to discover they are engaging in bizarre experiments and the occult in an attempt to tip the scales of the war in their favor. The first game in the franchise, 'Castle Wolfenstein,' was released in 1981. It and the 1984 sequel, 'Beyond Castle Wolfenstein,' were top-down perspective games. Starting with 'Wolfenstein 3D' in 1992, the games shifted to first-person shooters. There are 14 games in the 'Wolfenstein' series in total, with the most recent being the VR game 'Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot.' The games are currently developed by MachineGames and published by Bethesda Softworks. It was previously announced that a film version of the games was in the works back in 2012, but it never moved forward. Should this project move forward, it would be the latest video game TV series at Amazon for Kilter Films. The company currently produces the hit Prime Video series 'Fallout,' which is currently prepping to release its second season in December and has already been renewed for a third. In addition, Kilter has partnered with Michael B. Jordan's Outlier Society to produce the TV adaptation of Rebecca Yarros' adult fantasy novel 'Fourth Wing' for Amazon. The company is also known for producing 'The Peripheral' starring Chloe Grace Moretz for Amazon as well as for the hit series 'Westworld' at HBO and 'Person of Interest' at CBS. Amazon has multiple other projects in development based on games. Those include a 'Mass Effect' TV series, a 'God of War' series (which originally got greenlit in 2022), and a series based on the tabletop wargame 'Warhammer 40,000' starring Henry Cavill. 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
