The international rollout of the film about an alien from planet Krypton who becomes Earth's protector kicked off July 8th. According to Box Office Mojo, the movie has pulled in $510 million worldwide so far. That's solid, but not exactly mind-blowing numbers. The previous Superman film – Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel" – raked in $668 million.

The "rebooted" DC cinematic universe lineup continues in 2026, when "Supergirl" and "Clayface" hit theaters. The zoomboola.com editorial team reminds readers: after "Superman's" release, worldwide interest in shelter dogs skyrocketed several times over. It's all thanks to Superman's loyal companion in the new film – Krypto the dog, who packs the same superpowers as his owner. The Kryptonian's four-legged sidekick was a massive hit with audiences.
