Superman isn’t just lifting cars; he’s lifting DC’s spirits with a cool $57 million weekend followed by an impressive $235 million in just 10 days. Meanwhile, the “I Know What You Did Last Summer” reboot is flopping harder than a missed vibe check, pulling in a measly $13 million.
Superman Soars While Summers Sinks
James Gunn’s Superman is flying high without a hint of kryptonite, becoming the biggest domestic hit since “Aquaman” back in 2018. Globally, it’s inching towards a respectable $600 million, proving the new DC Universe is officially on the map.
On the flip side, Sony’s “I Know What You Did Last Summer” reboot flopped harder than a bad take on TikTok. With just $24.6 million globally so far, it’s solid proof that nostalgia and bad scripts don’t mix.
Dinos and Smurfs: A Mixed Bag
“Jurassic World: Rebirth” might not be loved by critics, but dino fans haven’t ghosted it yet. With $648 million worldwide, it won’t reach the iconic $1 billion—but hey, not too shabby.
Paramount’s “Smurfs” reboot, on the other hand, seems to be a big yikes. Critics shredded it, and it only smurfed $11 million domestically. Overseas fans are giving it some love, but it’s still not the hit they hoped for.
Other Players in the Game
– “F1” revs up an additional $9.6 million, zooming to $460 million worldwide so far—$500 million is looking lowkey attainable.
– Despite a star-studded lineup, “Eddington” opened to just $4.25 million. But A24 can breathe a little easier as “Materialists” still delivers overseas.
Meanwhile, “Lilo & Stitch” breaks the billion-dollar barrier, flexing with a domestic cume of $418 million.
Coming Soon
“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” gears up to hit theaters this Friday. Will it be the next big thing or another big yawn? Time will tell.
Stay tuned—who knows what the fall might bring in this chaotic cinematic landscape!
