James Gunn's Superman Crosses $500M Globally, Outperforming Marvel's Ant-Man
29 Jul
Summary
- Superman film crosses $500 million worldwide box office
- Surpasses full run of Marvel's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
- Signals a stable start for Gunn's new DC Universe
In a recent box office milestone, James Gunn's Superman has crossed the $500 million mark in worldwide ticket sales, reaching a total of $503.5 million. This impressive feat has allowed the film to surpass the full run of Marvel's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which ended its theatrical run with $476 million.
The majority of Superman's earnings, around $289.4 million, have come from the domestic (U.S. and Canada) market, while the international total stands at $214.1 million. Although the film has seen a softer turnout overseas compared to its Marvel counterpart, its strong performance in the home market has made it a steady win for DC Studios, especially when compared to other recent superhero releases.
The success of Gunn's Superman signals a stable start for the new DC Universe, which the director is overseeing. While the film's box office numbers may not be record-breaking, its ability to outperform Quantumania, a recent Marvel release, is a positive sign for the future of DC's cinematic endeavors under Gunn's leadership.
