Superman: Sometimes a film not only works on the screen, but also makes its place in our hearts. Something similar has happened with ‘Superman’ directed by James Gunn, which has not only earned a lot at the box office, but has also ruled the hearts of the audience. When other films started poorly, ‘Superman’ left everyone behind with its brilliance.
Superhero’s magic remained intact in the second week as well
‘Superman’ earned $57.3 million at the North American box office in its second weekend and remained the number 1 film for the second consecutive week. This is a 54% drop compared to the film’s opening, which is considered normal for any big summer blockbuster. Despite this drop, the film’s dominance remains intact, and the love of the audience has emerged as its biggest strength.
Beat even new releases, became the biggest success
Many new films released this weekend like I Know What You Did Last Summer, Smurfs and Eddington could not stand in front of ‘Superman’ at the box office. Neither the story, nor the star cast, nor the promotion no one could stand up to this superhero. While I Know What You Did Last Summer opened with just 13 million dollars, Smurfs was limited to just 11 million dollars. The reviews were also not in favor of these films, especially Smurfs got only 21% ‘fresh’ score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Creating a stir all over the world
‘Superman’s’ earnings have now crossed 400 million dollars, which has also increased the hopes of it reaching the 1 billion dollar club. Made on a budget of 225 million dollars, this film is getting full benefit of good reviews and great response from the audience. The film is not only starting a new era for DC Studios, but it has also proved that when the story and characters are connected to the heart, then the audience accepts it wholeheartedly.
This film became a symbol of DC’s new beginning
Under the leadership of James Gunn and Peter Safran, DC Studios is now moving forward with a new 10-year plan. While the old DC Extended Universe had died down, films like ‘Superman’ have brought a ray of new hope. David Corenswet’s Superman incarnation has not only been impressive, but has also revived the superhero for a new generation of fans.
‘Jurassic World’ and ‘F1’ are also maintaining their pace
However, ‘Superman’ is not flying high at the box office alone. ‘Jurassic World: Rebirth’ also remained at number two with earnings of $ 23.4 million in the third week. Brad Pitt’s F1: The Movie is doing quite well internationally and has so far earned $ 460.8 million.
Next challenge: Marvel The Fantastic Four
However, the next big test lies ahead next week, when Marvel’s much-anticipated film The Fantastic Four: First Steps releases. It will be interesting to see if Superman will be able to maintain his flight or whether new superheroes will compete with him.
