Superman Or F1: Which Movie Has Scored A Higher Return Over Budget?
According to a report from The Numbers, Superman was made on a budget of $225 million, while F1 reportedly had a slightly higher budget of around $300 million, per ScreenRant.
Based on the above box office earnings and budget figures, Superman has made a profit of approximately $371 million, and the return relative to its production budget is approximately 164.93% at the moment, meaning it has earned about 1.65 times what it cost to make so far.
Meanwhile, F1 currently has a profit of 292.1 million, and the return relative to its production budget is approximately 97.37%, meaning it has earned about 1 times more than what it cost to make so far.
Therefore, as of now, Superman has scored a higher return over its budget (164.93%) compared to F1 (97.37%). So, Superman is the more profitable film relative to its production cost. It remains to be seen whether Superman can maintain this lead over F1 by the end of its theatrical run.
