As of yesterday, Superman has made $597.3 million dollars

$598.5M now.

Yesterday's domestic numbers = 650k, -33% from last week.

It seems like it will just about scrape over $600m mark. With it heading to digital on the 26th internationally it seems likely that will be one of the final nails in it's box office run. Seems like it will be fortunate if it manages to get to $610m even if they leave it in theatres for another week or two.

Praying for an IMAX re-release for one final boost.

At least domestically, September is so barren and labour day is soon.

WB is not going to put competition for The Conjuring.

And that's okay. The movie's a success, but could've benefited from a better International performance (especially right out of the gate, since it then managed to maintain a good hold in several territories).

A (broader) Superman sequel is already being written and on the fast track. And isn't that all that matters?

Due to the incompetence of WB's previous management DC totally lost the international audiences, this is evidenced by Aquaman 2 and Joker Folie a deux both failing to make more than a fraction of their predecessors' B.O, despite both being sequels to billion dollars films! Hence Superman underwhelming at the foreign markets isn't really a surprise. The good news is that with strong reception that Superman has gotten the prospects of the superfamily movie are already looking A LOT better both domestically and internationally. Now if Supergirl is another hit and WB decides to get some big stars for the sequel e.g. Bradley Cooper's Jor-el and a well known commodity like Donnie yen for Brainiac, which might attract the chinese audiences then we could be looking at 800 mill plus for the superfamily film.

 

[Mysteryman]

I really hope that this mystery project is called Superman Family.

Another round of good daily holds this week. It's going to lose 317 theaters this weekend but I still expect a solid hold. It's got about two weekends including Labor Day to make money. I wouldn't expect much after that unless it returns to Imax like F1.

The film will land in exactly the sort of range you'd expect even before release, between $600m-$700m which is enough for it to be considered a success IMO.

WB/DC should be happy overall, not so much just with it's box office performance as for me $600m for a character as iconic & well known as Superman should be the sort of minimum expectation, but the most important thing was that it didn't crash & burn like some of the latter DCEU projects & indeed some of the MCU's offerings in recent years. However it's BO performance + the fact it was mostly well received across the board should give them enough cause for hope that if future films that are Superman centric can be as equally well received the character will sooner or later start knocking on those $700m+ sort of doors at the box office.

Probably the most concerning thing was it's mediocre international showing which is usually the market that drives films across or within touching distance of that billion dollar mark, particularly ones that do as well as this did domestically.

I'll wait to see what this sequel is before celebrating that it's being written & fast-tracked because Gunn's made it quite clear, it's not Superman 2.
