Superman box office collection Day 5: James Gunn's DCU film witnesses improvement on Tuesday in India, earns Rs. 2.75 crore
Superman marks a new start for DC and Warner Brothers in rivalling the successful Marvel multiverse franchise. After failing to secure success through movies like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), Justice League (2017), and Dwayne Johnson starred Black Adam (2022), Warner Bros. hired James Gunn as the co-CEO of DC Studios (films based on DC Comics) in 2022.
Superman India box office improves on Tuesday
The DCU film earned Rs 7.25 crore on its first day (Friday), beating the likes of Brad Pitt's F1 and Rajkumar Rao's Maalik. Since then, the DCU film maintained a consistent run at the box office for the next two days, having collected over Rs. 9 crore on both days. However, it faced a major dip on Monday, witnessing a drop of 76% viewership in theatres in India.
After a troubling Day 4, the superhero movie saw a slight improvement on Tuesday. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film's day 5 collections across all languages in India stood at Rs 2.75 crore, up from Rs 2.3 crore the previous day. This brings the total Indian collection to Rs 31.05 crore, a decent figure for a Hollywood release in the country amid a struggling box office..
However, despite the good numbers, the film failed to reach its predicted Rs. 40 crore benchmark over the first five days. The release of Jurassic World Rebirth had put up significant competition for James Gunn's movie over the past two days.
Day-wise breakdown for Superman
Day 1: Rs 7.25 crore
Day 2: Rs 9.5 crore
Day 3: Rs 9.25 crore
Day 4: Rs. 2.25 crore
Day 5: Rs. 2.75 crore
With that, the total Indian box office collection for Superman comes to Rs. 31.05 crore.
