The movie - launching a new era for DC Studios - will be only the third Hollywood pic of the year so far to cross the century mark in its domestic box office debut.

James Gunn‘s Superman has taken flight at the box office. The highly anticipated superhero tentpole, from DC Studios and Warner Bros., earned $22.5 million in Thursday previews and other sneak showings at the North American box office.

James Gunn's "Superman" is finally here a lot of famous characters dropping in. Kicking off DC's revamped slate, the film follows Superman (David Corenswet) three years into his life as a superhero, as he tries to balance his alien Kryptonian background with his human upbringing.
