'Superman' continued to dominate the summer box office, pulling in another $57.25 million in its second weekend, as theatres welcome a wave of blockbuster competition following a challenging few years for the film industry.
James Gunn’s 'Superman' remained No. 1 at the domestic box office this weekend, pulling in $57.25 million in its second frame. The film’s total now stands at $235 million in the U.S. and $406.8 million globally, according to Comscore.
“It’s showing strong daily holds, which signals positive word of mouth,” said Shawn Robbins, analytics director at Fandango.
Universal’s 'Jurassic World Rebirth' took second place in its third weekend with $23.4 million, outpacing two major new releases: Sony’s slasher reboot 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' ($13 million) and Paramount’s new 'Smurfs' movie ($11 million).
Despite lukewarm reviews, both new films benefited from strong franchise recognition.
“Everyone over 30 knows the title,” said BoxOffice Pro’s Daniel Loria of the slasher film. “And families know what they’re getting with (the) ‘Smurfs.’”
Comscore’s Paul Dergarabedian called the market “incredibly competitive,” noting that recent blockbusters are holding stronger than usual.
Studios, still recovering from delays due to the 2023 strikes and a pivot to streaming, are now delivering a steadier slate of theatrical releases.
“This summer has had something major open every weekend,” said Robbins.
