\n\t\u201cSuperman<\/a>\u201d ruled the box office as the comic book adventure touched down with $217 million globally.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat breakdown includes $95 million overseas and $122 million domestically<\/a>. Attendance was slightly softer than expected at the international box office, though box office watchers believe that\u2019s partially due to Superman\u2019s deeply patriotic roots. His motto, after all, is \u201cTruth, justice and the American way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSuperman\u00a0has always been identified as a quintessentially American character and story,\u201d says David A. Gross, who runs the FranchiseRe movie consulting firm. \u201cAnd in some parts of the world, America is currently not enjoying its greatest popularity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJames Gunn directed the well-reviewed \u201cSuperman,\u201d starring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. In the new movie, the optimistic hero is trying to prove to the world that he\u2019s fighting for good after the evil tech billionaire Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) attempts to sway public opinion against him. The $225 million-budgeted film marks an important reset in the Warner Bros.-backed DC Universe. After its last iteration of superhero movies flamed out with \u201cThe Flash,\u201d \u201cAquaman and the Lost Kingdom\u201d and others, Gunn and Peter Safran were hired in 2022 to overhaul DC Studios. They have outlined a 10-year plan of interconnected stories and spinoffs, including \u201cSupergirl\u201d and \u201cClayface\u201d in 2026.<\/p>\n

\n\tGlobal appeal will be key in the franchise\u2019s big screen longevity. In the case of \u201cSuperman,\u201d top-earning territories were the United Kingdom with $9.8 million, Mexico with $8.8 million, Brazil with $5.9 million and Australia with $5.3 million. The film bombed in China, earning just $6.6 million in its opening weekend. By comparison, \u201cJurassic World Rebirth<\/a>\u201d opened last weekend in China with $25 million.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn second place on international charts, Universal\u2019s \u201cJurassic World Rebirth\u201d collected $68 million from 82 overseas markets in its sophomore outing. Those ticket sales boost the dinosaur adventure\u2019s international tally to $297 million. \u201cJurassic World Rebirth,\u201d which rebooted the decades-old property with Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali, has crossed the $500 million milestone globally with $529 million to date.<\/p>\n

\n\tThird place went to \u201cF1: The Movie,\u201d which added $38.5 million overseas and $51.5 million in its third lap around the track. The Apple Studios racing drama, starring Brad Pitt, is impressively nearing $400 million worldwide. Revenues currently stand at $257 million overseas and $393 million globally, strengthening its position as Apple\u2019s highest grossing movie<\/a> to date.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn other box office news, Disney\u2019s \u201cLilo & Stitch\u201d is moments away from becoming the year\u2019s first billion-dollar release. The live-action remake has become hugely profitable, generating $579 million overseas and $994 million globally after eight weeks on the big screen. That\u2019s a relief for Disney because another big-budget offering, Pixar\u2019s \u201cElio,\u201d is cratering with $53 million internationally and $117 million worldwide. Despite positive reviews, the $150 million-budgeted film will end its theatrical run as a major money loser for the studio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cSuperman\u201d ruled the box office as the comic book adventure touched down with $217 million globally.
