Gunn’s Superman Outpaces Snyder’s DC Films in US Box Office, Falls Short Internationally
James Gunn’s Superman movie has outshined Zack Snyder’s films in U.S. ticket sales. Since its July release, Gunn’s Superman has earned over $331 million in U.S. theaters. This domestic gross surpasses Man of Steel’s $291 million and Batman v Superman’s $330 million, making it the highest-grossing DC film in U.S. cinemas to date. However, international box office figures present a different picture. Outside America, the Gunn-directed film earned $248 million, which trails Man of Steel’s $379 million and Batman v Superman’s $544 million. This suggests less enthusiasm for the new superhero film abroad. When all figures are combined, the film still trails Snyder’s entries in overall global revenue.
