Rebirth leading the box office, their continued momentum and audience draw have become key industry highlights. Superman has soared past major global benchmarks, while Rebirth maintains a strong run fueled by international markets.

Superman is positioned to claim the title of 2025's highest-grossing superhero film. Currently, Captain America: Brave New World holds the top spot with $415 million worldwide, but DC's latest movie is expected to surpass that benchmark by this weekend.

Elsewhere, new offerings 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' and 'Smurfs' are no match for the Man of Steel and are both eyeing a domestic opening in the $12 million range.
