Superman’s worldwide collection after nine weekends
James Gunn’s movie collected just $1 million on its ninth three-day weekend at the domestic box office. It lost 637 theaters this past week and is running in 1,187 theaters only in North America. The film dropped by 61.1% from last weekend, bringing the domestic box office collection to $353.3 million cume.

It declined by 38.9% from last weekend, hitting a $260.8 million cume over 78 markets [via Box Office Mojo].
