'Superman' Reboot Scores Big Opening, Then Plummets on Monday in India

Last weekend, the new "Superman" film directed by James Gunn had a strong debut in India, earning ₹26 crore at the box office over its opening three days. The superhero reboot, starring David Corenswet, collected ₹7.25 crore on Friday, followed by ₹9.5 crore on Saturday and ₹9.25 crore on Sunday, indicating a successful start.

However, the film's performance took a dramatic turn on Monday, with a nearly 75% drop in earnings, bringing in an estimated ₹2.25 crore. This typical weekday slowdown is common for new releases in India. Despite the Monday slump, "Superman" remains one of the better-performing Hollywood films in the country this year, though it still trails behind the recent success of "Jurassic World Dominion."

Internationally, the "Superman" reboot has been a major box office force, opening to a stellar $122 million in North America and an additional $95 million from 78 other markets, including $6.6 million from China. With no major new releases this weekend, the film is expected to continue its run and potentially cross the ₹50 crore mark in India in the days ahead.
