Superman’s Box Office Triumph & DCU Updates

The DC Universe is taking shape, and it all starts with Superman. The film has officially crossed $614 million worldwide, with $353M domestic (57.5%) and $260M international (42.5%). James Gunn has called the movie’s success the “biggest relief of his life” because if it hadn’t worked, the future of the entire DCU slate—from Supergirl to Lanterns—would have been in jeopardy.

We mostly talk about that and the other factors that possibly lead the film into bad financial waters in its first weekend. But we also talk about several other topics:
