Superman is now planned for the potential world start of $ 230 million following first very positive criticisms
The full embargo of the review for Superman Raised earlier during the day, and thanks to a mainly positive reception of criticism, the very first DCU film now seems ready for an impressive world start.
Although the film is always sure to face strong competition from Mighty from Universal Jurassic World RebirthThe latest updates (by trades) have restarted James Gunn on the right track to resume “at least 200 million dollars” this weekend.
The studio maintains its slightly more conservative estimates with an interior start of $ 100 million at $ 110 million, but analysts predict that it could increase up to $ 120 million, with an additional $ 100 million in foreign markets.
Superman If a production budget of $ 200 million has declared (although some points of sale claim that it is closer to $ 225 million), and despite the fact that Gunn minimizes the amount of the film’s success, our introduction to the DCU (live, at least) will be the decisive test for all future projects in this new DC Comics Shared.
The film is currently 85% seated on Rotten Tomatoes on the basis of 118 critics, which should play a role in the packaging of theaters for the first days of exit – but positive mouths will obviously be more important for continuous success.
Plan to see Superman Opening weekend?
I liked it but I didn’t like #Superman Which is undeniably fun and engaging but also everywhere. I can totally appreciate what Gunn was going to with the more sincere and cheesy atmosphere, but it was not for me (it could have helped if more humor landed).

“And it’s an envelope,” Gunn posted last year once the shoot was ended. “May God bless our casting and our crew whose commitment, creativity and hard work gave life to this project. I decided to make a film on a good man in a world that is not always so much.
Thank you all at the bottom of my heart. It was an honor. The destination was Superman, but the journey was the work and laughter and the emotions and the ideas and the magic that we shared together on the set – and for that, I am eternally grateful. “”
You can consult a synopsis for the film below.
“In his signature style, James Gunn faces the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular mixture of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who is motivated by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humanity.”
