Superman is still flying high at the box office and has now zoomed past the global haul of Aquaman 2. The film dominated the top spot in North America until this weekend. From now on, the exhibitors will keep a closer look at the box office with the DC flick facing the MCU movie, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The worldwide run of James Gunn’s film also depends on how it performs against this competition. Keep scrolling for the deets.
The supporting cast’s stellar performance earned more points for this DC flick. Also, the CGI dog Krypto won millions of hearts with his abundant cuteness. People are hoping that Krypto will return in the Supergirl movie starring Milly Alcock in the leading role. Comic book movies have been suffering in general, and only a handful have emerged as box office successes.

Surpassed the worldwide haul of Aquaman 2
Aquaman 2 was released in 2023, and it was the last film from the DCEU. The film starring Jason Momoa collected $440.2 million in its global run, including $124.5 million in domestic gross. On its third weekend, it was surpassed by Superman’s $502.7 million worldwide collection.
It seems the film has been hit by the release of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and it will continue to be so in the upcoming weeks as well. The DC flick, made on a massive budget of $225 million excluding the marketing cost, needs around $550-$570 million to break even at the box office. As of now, Superman is tracking to earn between $640 million and $700 million in its worldwide run. It was released in theaters on July 11.
