Following its theatrical release, James Gunn’s Superman reboot not only won over critics and audiences but also made a strong impact at the global box office. Boasting an impressive 83% critics’ score and 91% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, the film has grossed over $581 million worldwide. It currently ranks as the seventh-highest-grossing movie of the year, trailing behind Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’s global haul.
After outperforming several 2025 titles like Brad Pitt’s F1, Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts* and Sinners, Superman is now closing in on a James Bond film starring Daniel Craig, albeit his lowest-rated 007 entry. Read on to find out which movie it is and how much the superhero film needs to earn to surpass it.
Superman Inches Closer To This James Bond Film At The Global Box Office
That James Bond movie is the 2008 installment, Quantum of Solace. Despite being Daniel Craig’s lowest-rated James Bond outing, with a 63% Rotten Tomatoes score, it went on to gross nearly $590 million worldwide. Let’s see how the two films compare at the global box office, according to Box Office Mojo.
As of now, Superman trails Quantum of Solace’s global box office total by around $8.5 million, so it needs to earn this much to surpass this Bond movie. Given its current momentum, the superhero film is expected to outgross it in the coming days.
How Superman Compares With Other Daniel Craig’s James Bond Films
In addition to Quantum of Solace, here are the global box office figures for the other James Bond films starring Daniel Craig, listed in order of release (Box Office Mojo):
Casino Royale (2006) – $616.6 million
Skyfall (2012) – $1.1 billion
Spectre (2015) – $880.7 million
No Time to Die (2021) – $774.2 million
As it stands, Superman’s worldwide total is currently lower than all of Daniel Craig’s Bond outings. Apart from Quantum of Solace and perhaps Casino Royale, it won’t be able to surpass the other three 007 entries.
