Superman Surges Past Jurassic World, Becomes 3rd Highest-Grossing Film of 2025

As of August 3rd, 2025, the DC superhero film Superman has continued its box office dominance, solidifying its position as the third highest-grossing movie of the year. The film is projected to earn between $14 million and $16 million on its fourth three-day weekend at the domestic box office, outpacing the latest Jurassic World installment and Marvel's Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Superman's strong performance defies the notion of "superhero fatigue," as audiences have been thoroughly enjoying the film on the big screen. The movie has recorded one of the biggest fourth Fridays among 2025 and DC releases, and the makers have decided to hold off on a digital release to milk the film's success at the box office.

One of the key factors contributing to the movie's popularity is the four-legged Krypto, Superman's canine companion. The character's popularity has not only increased the film's appeal but has also led to a surge in dog adoptions, as people are inspired by the heroic pup.

With a domestic box office haul of over $306 million and an international gross of $227.8 million, Superman is poised to surpass Jurassic World Rebirth's $311.3 million domestic earnings, cementing its status as the third highest-grossing film of the year in North America.
