According to director James Gunn, the international box office performance for Superman 2025 has been low because he’s not as known as other superheroes in other countries like Batman is and due to “a certain amount of anti-American sentiment around the world right now.”

“Superman” opened with an impressive $122 million at the domestic box office, Warner Bros. told multiple outlets Sunday, after landing the year’s second-largest opening day Friday, with the film on track to gross over $217 million internationally.

As of mid-Friday, estimates suggest an opening day haul of around $56 million, including the $24 million in previews. This marks a remarkable achievement, as it puts the film on par with Superman’s domestic opening day of $56.5 million.
