Warner Bros.' Superman Tops $400M Globally, Universal's Jurassic World Rebirth Hits $650M Amid Red-Hot Summer Box Office Battle.

Warner Bros. Discovery's "Superman" has surpassed $400 million globally, while Universal's "Jurassic World Rebirth" is racing towards $650 million. Superman's domestic performance has been steady, but overseas turnout has underwhelmed. Meanwhile, Jurassic World Rebirth continues its box office dominance, adding $40.2 million from 82 international markets over the weekend.

Warner Bros. Discovery's "Superman," directed by James Gunn, has surpassed $400 million globally, marking a significant milestone for the studio. The film, which opened to strong reviews and word-of-mouth, has continued to perform well domestically, despite a 54% decline in its second weekend. As of July 2, 2025, "Superman" has grossed $235 million in the U.S. and $171.8 million internationally, bringing its global tally to $406.8 million [1].

Meanwhile, Universal's "Jurassic World Rebirth" is racing towards $650 million. The film, which has been a box office juggernaut since its release, added another $40.2 million from 82 international markets over the weekend. This brings its global total to $647 million [1]. "Jurassic World Rebirth" has maintained its position as a powerful competitor in the box office landscape, staying safely parked in second place domestically with an estimated $23.4 million for a North American total of $276.2 million [1].

The steady performance of "Superman" and the continued dominance of "Jurassic World Rebirth" highlight the resilience of the global box office market. Both films have demonstrated the enduring appeal of their respective franchises, with "Superman" benefiting from strong word-of-mouth and "Jurassic World Rebirth" capitalizing on the enduring popularity of the Jurassic Park series.

Warner Bros. Discovery has seen a remarkable turnaround in its box office fortunes this year, with five straight No. 1 hits, including "Superman." This turnaround has been driven by a strategic revamp of its DC Studios brand, with James Gunn and Peter Safran serving as co-chairs. The success of "Superman" suggests that the new management regime may be effective in turning the DC franchise into a consistent hit machine [2].
