As a movie enthusiast, I can confidently say that “DCU’s Live-Action Debut” won’t just make a soft landing at the box office, but it’s poised to ignite the summer like never before. With some heavy hitters like “Jurassic World Rebirth” on July 2 and “Fantastic Four: First Steps” on July 25, the stage is set for an intense competition. But amidst this lineup, it’s “Superman” taking center stage on July 11. Despite the challenges of entering a crowded summer season, I believe that this new take on the Man of Steel will prove to be a major success.
Based on predictions from the Box Office Theory, the upcoming Superman film is expected to soar to unprecedented heights in the DC box office record books. This movie might not only secure the largest opening weekend for any Superman or DC movie, but it could also establish a new record as Warner Bros. Discovery’s biggest ever opening weekend. As of now, the current records are held by Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which earned $166 million in 2016, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, with a slightly higher opening of $169 million.
As a die-hard cinema enthusiast, if projections are accurate, I’m excitedly anticipating that “Superman” will rake in somewhere around $154-$175 million at the box office. With growing curiosity about what Gunn can contribute to the DC universe as the release date nears, there’s a strong possibility that this film might even outshine the upper end of that estimate.
Why Is ‘Superman’ Expected to Break Records This Summer?
Given the history of the DC franchise in recent times, some may harbor doubts about any upcoming DC movie’s ability to make a significant impact at the box office. Yet, with a fresh leadership and new direction for WBD’s DC projects, there is a strong sense of optimism that this time, the franchise might successfully move past its previous challenges.
The responses to the trailer for Superman were largely favorable, excepting the usual criticisms from those who are still resentful about the departure of Henry Cavill. Moreover, the first complete trailer, launched in December, garnered over 250 million views, which is a record for any movie produced by Warner Bros., making it the most-watched trailer ever. Furthermore, Gunn’s past projects like Peacemaker, The Suicide Squad, and the Guardians of the Galaxy films with Marvel Studios demonstrate that he is an exceptionally skilled director capable of creating visually stunning spectacles filled with heart, fan-favorite moments, and a unique perspective.
Is it possible that the film featuring Superman will reach unprecedented success among DC movies and possibly outshine Barbie to become Warner Bros. Pictures’ highest-earning movie ever? The future holds this intriguing possibility, as its chances are stronger than those of most DC superhero films from the past ten years.
