It’s not a bird or a plane — it’s the latest “Superman” movie soaring towards the top of the box office. Warner Bros. Pictures’ “Superman” grossed an estimated $56.5 million domestically on Friday,

Although the figures don't come from Warner Bros themselves, if confirmed then Superman stands to be the second-best opening for a Superman movie overall, coming in behind 2016's Batman v. Superman which grossed $166 million.

James Gunn's Superman, starring David Corenswet, released on Friday. It is available in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu in India.

SATURDAY UPDATE: On Friday, Warner Bros/DC’s Superman added another $21.5M from 78 international box office markets. That brings the offshore flying cume to $40M through Friday.

Interestingly, with a collection of Rs 9.35 crores, Superman has managed to beat Captain America: Brave New World on the second day of release. For the uninitiated, Captain America: Brave New World had minted Rs 4 crores on day 2 in India.

Gunn had responded to the post, which issued a call to arms to “stand up and fight for SnyderVerse on July 11” (the release date of Superman). “Gunn fired the first shot and killed the SnyderVerse and here is our chance to take the fight back to him,” the post said.
