Superman Joins 2025's Top 10 Highest-Grossing Films

The 2025 box office landscape has been shaken up by a mix of Hollywood blockbusters and a global phenomenon from China. The Chinese animated feature Ne Zha 2 has emerged as a true juggernaut, collecting over $2 billion from the Chinese market alone. This success has forced distributors to rethink their strategies, as the Ne Zha sequel has ruled the top spot for months, outpacing the second highest-grossing film by over $1 billion.

Amidst this backdrop, the new DC movie Superman has also made its mark, cracking the top 10 highest-grossing films of 2025. The superhero flick has been well-received by both viewers and critics, reflected in its impressive box office performance. After a strong $125.02 million opening in North America, Superman has gone on to collect $236.2 million domestically and $173.1 million overseas, for a worldwide total of $409.33 million. This has allowed the film to surpass other major releases like Sinners and Thunderbolts* to secure the 10th spot on the 2025 highest-grossers list.
