- Superman was very profitable for DC Studios.
- The movie made around $616.58 million worldwide and made a profit of $100 million while projecting a total of $150 million by the end of the year.
- Superman was also the most successful superhero movie of 2025, earning more than any outing from Marvel Studios.
No matter what one would say, the highlight of 2025 was the revival of the DCU with the release of Superman. Even though, before its release and in the initial days, the movie was compared with the previous adaptations by some people, ultimately, the 2025 version of the Man of Steel won hearts worldwide and continues to do so on streaming services. However, the real question now is whether this movie turned out to be profitable or not, and here, we have an update regarding this from a DC Studios report. So, without further ado, let’s see what news it brings us.
Superman Was The Most Succesful Superhero Movie of 2025
There is a lot of misinformation floating around on the internet regarding Superman and how much money it made. Several people claim Superman was not a success, and to give clarity to the confusion being created online, we have a report from the DC Studios, as reported by Forbes, which tells us that Superman not only broke even but was quite profitable to the Studios as well.
Superman made a total collection of $616.58 million, out of which $354.1 million came in domestically and $262.4 million came in from international markets. According to the reports from DC Studios, Superman was profitable, with a profit of $100 million, and by the end of 2025, it is projected to reach up to $150 million, including the capital earned by streaming services.
However, being profitable is not it, Superman wasn’t only a box office success but also the most successful Superhero outing of 2025 and made more money in total as compared to the multiple releases from Marvel. The Fantastic Four: First Steps made a total of $521.8 million worldwide, Thunderbolts* made a total of $382.4 million, and Captain America: Brave New World grossed a total of $415.1 million.
While making money, Superman also earned a massive positive reception from both critics as well as the audience, securing the top spot for the Man of Steel. The success this movie earned for itself makes me excited to see what the next instalment of DCU is set to bring us, so let’s just fasten our seatbelts and enjoy the ride as it comes.
