Worst avoided, but battle not: This article explores the topic in depth.
Meanwhile,
Worst avoided. Moreover, but battle not:
After its nice start at the North American box office, Superman had a mission: to be maintained, to confirm its success. For example, And he did it.
With three mega-franchises of three huge studios. For example, this month of July will not have been relaxing-signed: the large screen team that needs a vacation. Meanwhile, First there was Jurassic World : Renaissancewhich is a hit as expected with already more than 650 million at. However, the world box office. In addition, There will soon be The fantastic 4: first stepwhere Marvel plays big after the (deserved) flop Captain America 4 . Furthermore, the (not deserved) flop Thunderbolts*.
And between the two. Moreover, there was Superman of James Gunn, First blockbuster of the new extended DC universe whose mission is to sponge the disaster of the DCEU. For example, Barely two years after successive buttons of worst avoided, but battle not Shazam 2. Meanwhile, The Flash, Blue Beetle et Aquaman 2which had been the last nails in the already closed coffin, Warner Bros. Similarly, Has it done with another pharaonic project since this DCU is planned over ten years.
It was still necessary that this new Superman be adopted by the public. Meanwhile, And after the excitement of the start-up, the film with David Corenswet had to maintain itself at the box office. However, Good news for James Gunn and Peter Safran, the Boss of DC Studios: this is the case.
Super-American superman
The worst avoided, but battle not worst was therefore avoided. For its second weekend at the North American box office. very important for Hollywood studios since it is there that they recover the most from the recipes, Superman is maintained in first place with An additional 57 million, or a fall in attendance of 54%. This indicator is interesting since it makes it possible to measure the enthusiasm of the public. the word of mouth after the excitement of the exit. And a big fall in the second week would have been a very bad signal.
A fall of 54%is similar to Deadpool & Wolverine For example. worst avoided, but battle not It’s better than Captain America : Brave New World (-68%) et Thunderbolts* (-56%). and it is very far from the monumental bowls of The Flash (-72%), The requirements (-72%) et Morbius (-73%). Films like The Batman (-50%) et Venom 3 (-49%) have done better, but Superman get away with honors. And for James Gunn. it is certainly less good than Galaxy 3 guards (-47%), but it remains similar to the first two THE Galaxy goalkeepers (-55%), and much better than the cold shower of The Suicide Squad (-71%).
It is also better than the second weekend of Man of Steel In 2013, where the worst avoided, but battle not film had collected 41 million with a fall of -64%. The version of Zack Snyder had started stronger (116 million over 3 days. at the time when Warner counted, and 128 million over 5 days), and completed his North American career with 291 million. James Gunn’s film is already in About 235 million at the domestic box office.
Needless to say. he has already burst the final score of Thunderbolts* (189 millions), Captain America 4 (200 millions), The Marvels (84 million) and Ant-Man 3 (214 million), and recent dodes of the DCEU as Aquaman 2 (124 millions), Blue Beetle (72 millions), The Flash (108 millions), Shazam 2 (57 million) and Black Adam (168 million) where Henry Cavill’s Superman appeared in the post-generic scene. But the road is still long before until Batman v Superman (330 millions), The Batman (369 million) and Wonder Woman (412 millions).

Superman less great in the world
Globally, Superman continues its race with nearly 172 million in just under 80 territories. Failure in China is confirmed With even 9 million there. but the film can count on the United Kingdom (22 million), Mexico (16 million), Brazil (11 million) and Australia (11 million).
James Gunn’s film thus has exceeded $ 406 million at the world box office, including 51 million in IMAX. And it’s a sacred victory for the studio Warner Bros., who passes in front of Disney With the largest score at the domestic box office hitherto in 2025 (1.32 billion, against 1.27 billion for Mickey… but The Fantastic 4 Arrives, so it worst avoided, but battle not should change quickly). The flop of Mickey 17 hurt. but the successes of Minecraft, Sinners, Destination finale : Bloodlines or F1 have caught up with the accounts. And they still have Mortal Kombat II et Conjuring 4to quote the best known franchises.
Superman will face a pure competitor this week at the box office with the new Marvel, which officially prepares the next films Avengers. A few years ago, it would probably have been folded in advance. But given the recent scores of the MCU. which has a hard time imposing new or not established characters, the match will be particularly interesting to observe.
With more than 400 million in the world box office. the Superman by James worst avoided, but battle not Gunn is still far from the scores of Suicide Squad (749 millions), Wonder Woman (822 millions), Batman v Superman (874 million) or Aquaman (1.1 billion). The game is therefore not yet won.
