Global box office chart showing Superman (2025) earning $502.7 million total, with $289.5 million from the U.S. and Canada and $213.2 million internationally.

Released on July 11, 2025, Superman marked the launch of the new DC Universe under director James Gunn. The film reintroduced the Man of Steel with a tone rooted in optimism and classic heroism — a contrast to some previous portrayals. Featuring a new cast and a soft reboot of Superman’s mythos, the film arrived with significant anticipation worldwide.

🌍 Country-by-Country Box Office Figures

While the U.S. and Canada led the earnings, several major international markets also contributed substantially to Superman’s global performance. Here is a breakdown of the most significant contributors:

🎬 Opening Weekend Highlights

In its domestic opening weekend, Superman grossed approximately $125 million, outperforming previous Superman entries. Notably, it exceeded the $116 million opening of Man of Steel (2013), making it the highest-grossing opening for a standalone Superman film to date.

🎟️ $502.7 million worldwide

Breakdown:

  • Domestic (U.S. & Canada): ~$289.5 million
  • International: ~$213.2 million
  • Total: $502.7 million

These numbers reflect earnings from the first few weeks of release. The film is still in theaters in many regions, so the final total may rise toward the $600–700 million range if its momentum continues.

Strong pre-release buzz, positive early reviews, and James Gunn’s marketing approach helped drive its performance, particularly in North America.


Internationally, Superman’s performance was slightly mixed. English-speaking countries like the UK and Australia delivered solid numbers, while performance in Asia, especially China, came in under some early expectations. However, Latin America — particularly Mexico and Brazil — showed strong turnout and consistent demand.

The film’s hopeful tone and family-friendly storytelling appeared to resonate well across culturally diverse regions, although not all territories responded with equal enthusiasm.


🔮 Future Outlook

With over $260 million earned in just a few weeks, Superman (2025) is on track for a robust box office run. If its hold continues and international markets remain steady, it could cross $500 million globally, potentially setting a strong foundation for future entries in the rebooted DC Universe.

Additionally, word-of-mouth has been favorable. Fans have praised the film’s return to Superman’s moral core, its colorful visuals, and balanced pacing. This sustained interest could give it strong legs in later weeks and upcoming markets like Germany and Italy, where release schedules vary.


📌 Conclusion

Superman (2025) has launched DC’s new cinematic chapter with commercial success and cultural traction. While the film may not yet match the highest-grossing superhero blockbusters, its early performance has proven that there is still widespread global appetite for a hopeful, inspiring Superman.

Its box office achievements reflect not just the power of a franchise reboot done right — but also the enduring global appeal of the Man of Steel himself.
