James Gunn’s Superman has already broken a few records at the box office, but does it stack up against Man of Steel?

Superman hit the big screen on July 11 with all the power of a Kryptonian smashing through a Metropolis high-rise. The film is a reboot from director James Gunn, who directed the Guardians of the Galaxy series.

The film, directed by James Gunn, had one of the biggest debuts at the box office of 2025, soaring above its initial estimated projections. "Superman" made $125 million in the US on its opening, with international market ticket sales coming in at $95 million.
