Superman Box Office Collection Day 2: Next Stop For James Gunn's Film
New Delhi: James Gunn's Superman reboot, starring David Corenswet, is performing well at the global box office. What's Happening According to Deadline, the film has earned $56.5 million in North America and another $40 million from international markets across 78 countries. In India, the superhero film has impacted the performance of local releases like Kannappa and Rajkummar Rao's Maalik. By the end of Sunday, Superman is expected to cross $210 million globally, boosted by strong reviews and buzz. Variety reports that the film now holds the second-biggest global opening of 2025 so far, behind A Minecraft Movie ($57.11 million) and slightly ahead of Lilo & Stitch ($55.94 million). Internationally, the film opened in the UK with $3.6 million on Friday, capturing a 66% market share. Performance in Asia was comparatively soft, with Korea underperforming and China collecting $2.4 million by Friday. The final China tally is expected to be around $11 million. Brazil, Australia, and France each brought in between $2.5 and $3 million. Spain surprised with a $1 million debut, and Japan earned $781K despite the competing buzz around the new Demon Slayer. Mexico led international territories with $3.8 million. Background In India, Superman earned Rs 8 crore on Day 1 and added Rs 9 crore on Day 2, bringing its two-day total to Rs 17 crore. This makes it the third-biggest DC debut in India. Meanwhile, the Telugu film Kannappa, featuring Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, and Mohanlal, opened at Rs 9.35 crore but dropped steeply in its second week. The film's collection fell by 92%, with its lifetime net reaching just Rs 32.6 crore. With an estimated budget of Rs 200 crore, it has recovered only 16%, making it one of the year's biggest flops.
