Superman \u2014 which stars David Corenswet as the new Man of Steel, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor \u2014 is eyeing a $55 million Friday take domestically, which includes $22.5 million in Thursday preview ticket sales, according to Deadline<\/a>.<\/p>\n ForbesWhy Does Superman\u2019s Movie Cousin Supergirl Look So Familiar?By Tim Lammers<\/a><\/p>\n The film, which is playing in 4,135 North American theaters, is projected by Deadline to make $115 million, but the trade publication said the film could possibly stretch its ticket sales to $120 million.<\/p>\n No matter where the number lands, the Warner Bros. release will earn more than enough to knock last weekend\u2019s No. 1 film, Jurassic Park Rebirth, off the top of the box office perch.<\/p>\n Even though Superman<\/a> will have the bragging rights of being the new No. 1 film in North America, its projected domestic tally falls far short of early tracking numbers released by the National Research Group on June 18 (via The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>).<\/p>\n ForbesWhy Does \u2018Hawkgirl\u2019 From \u2018Superman\u2019 Look So Familiar?By Tim Lammers<\/a><\/p>\n At that time, NRG projected a $125 million to $145 million opening weekend for Warner Bros.’ DC superhero film, and later adjusted its forecast to a $130 million opening (via THR<\/a>).<\/p>\n Trade publications were a bit more conservative this week, as Variety<\/a> projected an opening between $120 million and $130 million, while Box Office Pro<\/a> cast a wider net with $115 million to a $135 million opening weekend for Superman.<\/p>\n Superman has a $225 million budget before prints and advertising, Variety reported.<\/p>\n ForbesWhen Is James Gunn\u2019s \u2018Superman\u2019 Coming To Streaming?By Tim Lammers<\/a><\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Scarlett Johansson-led dinosaur adventure Jurassic World Rebirth, which stomped out the competition<\/a> in its extended 4th of July opening weekend, is projected by Deadline to drop 60% from its Friday to Sunday opening take of $92 million to $37 million from 4,324 North American theaters this weekend.<\/p>\n If that tally holds, it will boost the Universal Pictures release\u2019s running tally to $229.1 million.<\/p>\n NORTHAMPTON, ENGLAND – JULY 09: Brad Pitt, star of the upcoming Formula One based movie, Apex, and … More Damson Idris, co-star of the upcoming Formula One based movie, Apex, walk on the grid in front of Carlos Sainz of Spain driving (55) the Ferrari SF-23 on track during the F1 Grand Prix of Great Britain at Silverstone Circuit on July 09, 2023 in Northampton, England.
