How Much Will Superman (2025) End Up Making?

After three strong weeks at the box office, James Gunn’s Superman has pulled in about $316 million domestically and $235 million internationally, putting its global haul at $551 million.

That’s a solid run so far, especially considering the shaky ground most comic book movies have been on lately.

The big question now is… how much higher can it go before its theatrical run wraps?

First, let’s talk drop offs.

Like most big movies, Superman is losing about 45% to 50% of its earnings week to week. That might sound rough, but it’s actually pretty standard these days. For comparison, movies like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania or The Marvels dropped just as fast or faster. A 50% drop means the movie earns half as much each week. So if it made $85 million in Week 1, expect something like $42 million in Week 2, then around $21 million in Week 3, and so on. The money tap doesn’t turn off immediately it just trickles more and more each week.

Now, there are rumors swirling that Superman could hit digital by the end of August. If that’s true, it would mean a shorter theatrical window of about 45–50 days. But honestly? That won’t hurt the box office too much. Most blockbusters these days make the bulk of their money within the first month anyway. Whether it plays for 60 days or 90, we’re already in the home stretch.

So, what’s the realistic final total?

Based on its current pace, Superman is looking at about $360 million to $380 million domestically, and $270 million to $280 million internationally. That puts its final worldwide haul somewhere between $630 million and $660 million

A big win for DC Studios and a strong foundation for the rebooted universe.

Comparing it to recent comic book movies, Superman is holding its own just fine.

It’ll easily outgross The Flash ($271M), Blue Beetle ($131M), Shazam! Fury of the Gods ($134M), The Marvels ($206M), and even Quantumania ($476M).

It won’t quite catch James Gunn’s last film, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 ($846M), but that’s not a fair bar anyway.

What’s more impressive is that Superman is about to match or even beat Man of Steel (2013), which topped out at $668 million—and that was over a decade ago.

So here’s the bottom line: barring some surprise collapse or miracle surge, James Gunn’s Superman is going to land somewhere between $630–$660 million worldwide. That’s not just good—it’s one of the best runs for a comic book movie in the past two years.

It proves the audience is ready for this new take, and it gives DC a much-needed shot of momentum going forward.
