Superman India box office collection
Superman, starring David Corenswet as the new Man of Steel, opened at ₹7 crore net on Friday, and showed a healthy jump on the weekend to end up at ₹25.50 crore net collections in India. Figures shared by Warner Bros India show that the film has earned ₹32 crore gross in India in its opening weekend. The film has had a good time at the ticket window, with the bulk of its earnings coming from the original English version. The dubbed versions (Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu) have contributed around ₹7.5 crore net to the total figure, according to trade sources.
How Superman beat Bollywood
According to the film's producers, in comparison to Superman's ₹25.50 crore opening weekend, Rajkummar Rao's action thriller Maalik managed just around ₹15 crore net. The film had a low opening of ₹3.75 crore before recovering on Saturday. However, the Pulkit-directed film showed no growth on Sunday. Shanaya Kapoor's debut Aankhon ki Gustaakhiyan, which also stars Vikrant Massey in the lead, has managed just ₹1.20 crore in its first three days, falling face first at the box office.

Directed by James Gunn, Superman marks the beginning of a new DC Universe, which the filmmaker shepherded as DC Studios co-chair. Apart from David Corenswet, the film also stars Rachel Brosnahan and Nicholas Hoult in the lead roles. Superman has opened to largely positive reviews.
