00:05interviewed, Superman. James Gunn's Superman truly soared at the box office. One of the

00:12summer's most anticipated tentpoles flew to a solid box office debut of $125 million domestically

00:18and an estimated global launch of $220 million. The movie's solid debut marks a big moment in

00:25rebooting both DC Studios, which has struggled badly in recent years, and one of Hollywood's

00:30most iconic comic book film franchises. DC has been hit hard in recent years. Superman is among

00:37only three DC titles that have opened to $100 million or more in eight long years, after

00:42Wonder Woman and Matt Reeves' The Batman. This successful debut also serves as a big win for

00:48James Gunn, who is both the film's writer and director and the co-head of the Warner Brothers-owned

00:53DC, which he was tasked to run alongside Peter Safran by Warner Brothers Discovery CEO David

00:59Zaslav. Zaslav noted, Superman is just the first step. Over the next year alone, DC Studios will

01:05introduce the film's Supergirl and Clayface in theaters and the series Lanterns on HBO Max,

01:11all part of a bold 10-year plan. The DC vision is clear, the momentum is real, and I couldn't be

01:17more excited for what's ahead. I would question myself in the same situation and consider the

01:22consequences. People were going to die! Superman has also successfully become the first comic book

01:28movie in an entire year to cross $100 million. The last to do so was Marvel Studios and Ryan Reynolds'

01:35Deadpool and Wolverine, which launched to a jaw-dropping $211 million in summer of 2024.

01:41Superman stars David Cornswet in the title role, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane,

01:46and Nicholas Holt as Lex Luthor. For more box office news, head to THR.com. And for the latest
