What This Means For Superman
It Should Keep Climbing The Chart
Ultimately, it remains to be seen how high2025’sSupermanis able to climb at the domestic box office by the time its theatrical run is finished. However, it seemsmore or less guaranteed to continue outgrossing additional movies from theHarry Potterfranchise.
Below, see a breakdown of the domestic gross of theHarry PottermoviesaboveSuperman, as well as their rankings on the all-time domestic chart:
#58
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2(2011)
$381.4 million
#98
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone(2001)
$318.9 million
#110
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince(2009)
$302.3 million
At the time of writing,Box Office Theoryprojects thatSupermanwill gross roughly $17.4 million at the domestic box office during its fourth weekend in theaters, whichwould bring its cumulative gross to more than $314.1 millionby the end of Sunday.
In addition to seeing it pass the $300 million milestone, this total would make it surge pastIron Man 2($312.4 million) to No. 102 on the chart,easily surpassingHalf-Blood Princeand drawing dangerously close toSorcerer’s Stone.
Whileit may not outgrossDeathly Hallows: Part 2(which had a far superior opening weekend of $169.2 million, compared toSuperman’s $125 million), the superhero movie is showing a strong standing among fellow blockbusters that should land it a secure position in the all-time domestic Top 100.
Our Take On The Superman Box Office
The DCU Could Have A Bright Future
Even ifSupermanis unable to outgross every singleHarry Pottermovie, its success compared to those classic blockbusters is a good sign for theupcoming DCU movies, includingSupergirlandClayface. Its success puts the relaunched franchise in a good position to give those movies wiggle room, allowing them to shine even if they have slightly diminishing returns.
