Superman Preview Hits $21M; Opening Weekend on Track for $115–130M

Box Office Highlights

Thursday previews (including Amazon Prime early shows) brought in a record $21 million+, surpassing Man of Steel’s $9 million and marking the strongest preview performance of 2025 for a superhero release.
Domestic opening weekend is now projected between $115–130 million, significantly above the earlier estimates of $100–125 million.
Early global projections indicate a strong start in overseas markets—potentially matching the domestic figure and aiming for a total over $200 million worldwide.

Why This Matters

DC Studios pressure test: This film—Superman’s first in the newly-launched DC Universe under James Gunn and Peter Safran—needs to be a hit. Success could signal strong momentum for future titles like Supergirl, Clayface, and Lanterns.
Preview-to-weekend conversion: Strong Thursday sales usually forecast healthy weekend totals. Preview-to-weekend ratios will be critical—strong holds could push totals past $135 million.
Global comparison: If Superman captures $200 million+ overseas, it reinforces its position as a major tentpole—crucial for rebuilding DC’s international brand.

Industry Context

Man of Steel opened with $116.6M domestic and reached $670M worldwide. Batman v Superman debuted at $166M but dropped sharply in subsequent weeks.

If Superman’s opening weekend hits $115–130M and word-of-mouth holds, it could surpass both predecessors and reclaim legacy status for the character.
Superman’s resounding $21M preview and revised $115–130M domestic opening projection signal a major win for DC Studios’ relaunch. If global numbers match, and audience reception holds, James Gunn’s vision may have reignited the Man of Steel and set a firm foundation for the next wave of DC Universe films.
