Superman Vs Man of Steel: James Gunn's Superman Beats Zack Snyder's At The North American Box Office

Los Angeles, July 29 - In a huge achievement, director James Gunn's Superman has officially outgrossed Zack Snyder's Man of Steel at the North American box office and has become the highest-grossing solo Superman movie, cementing its place as a box office success. ## Director Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, released in 2013, earned approximately $291 million in North America. Though it marked the return of Superman to the big screen and introduced Henry Cavill in the titular role, the film received mixed reviews and divided fans with its darker tone. Despite a solid opening ($116 million), its box office momentum was lost. ## In contrast, James Gunn's reboot takes a more optimistic approach to the character, aligning more closely with Superman's classic portrayal. Featuring David Corenswet in the role of Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, the film has resonated well with audiences and critics alike. It has crossed $291 million as of today, edging past Man of Steel. ## At the worldwide box office, Superman has crossed $500 million and is heading towards finishing around $700 million, almost in the same range as Man of Steel, which earned $670 million globally in its lifetime run. Gunn's Superman serves as a fresh start to DC's cinematic universe under his co-leadership with Peter Safran, which has piqued audience interest and driven curiosity. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: James Gunn's 'Superman' Projected To Debut With $200+ Million Worldwide

Los Angeles, July 9 - When the box office around the globe is slowly returning to normalcy, how can James Gunn's Superman not fly and join the party, having just hit the worldwide tracking ahead of its release this weekend, on July 11, and the early numbers are promising a solid start for DC Universe (DCU). ## Starring David Corenswet as Clark Kent / Superman, alongside Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Superman has been projected to debut with at least, $200 million at the global box office at 60,000 global screens, split evenly between domestic and overseas, according to Deadline. ## While global tracking sets expectations high, there's a noticeable difference in projections between box office analysts and DC Studios. Tracking services predict a domestic opening in the range of $130 million, whereas the studio remains cautiously optimistic, projecting $100+ million opening weekend in North America. ## The higher-end forecast for the movie has a term & condition attached to it, which is critical reception. Fortunately, the initial critics' reviews for the movie are positive, currently sitting at 86% from 147 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, a significant improvement over previous Superman outings. Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel" (2013) received a 57% score, while his "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" (2016) lagged far behind with just 28%. Even Bryan Singer's "Superman Returns" (2006), once considered a respectable entry, sits lower at 72%. ## On the international front, Superman is expected to bring in $100+ million from 78 overseas markets, rounding out an opening weekend total in the range of $200 million to $230 million. If strong word of mouth follows the already positive critical reviews, the final tally could surpass even the most optimistic forecasts. ## Stay tuned...

James Cameron Hits Out At Christopher Nolan's Oscar-Winning Film 'Oppenheimer'; Here Is Why

Los Angeles, June 30 - Legendary Hollywood director James Cameron has hit out at acclaimed director Christopher Nolan for his 2023 epic biographical thriller Oppenheimer, which has been hailed as one of the best films of the 21st century. The movie is based on the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the American theoretical physicist who helped develop the first nuclear weapons during World War II. ## Oppenheimer was declared the best movie at the 96th Academy Awards, in which it won 7 Oscars, including Best Picture. Cameron, however, has criticised Nolan for not depicting the aftermath of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombing, which killed over 250,000 people. While Cameron acknowledged Nolan's filmmaking, he felt disappointed that Oppenheimer didn't depict the aftermath of the atomic bombing. ## During an interview with Deadline, the "Avatar" director said, "Yeah, it's interesting what he stayed away from. Look, I love the filmmaking, but I did feel that it was a bit of a moral cop-out. Because it's not like Oppenheimer didn't know the effects. He's got one brief scene in the film where we see — and I don't like to criticise another filmmaker's film – but there's only one brief moment where he sees some charred bodies in the audience, and then the film goes on to show how it deeply moved him. But I felt that it dodged the subject". ## Meanwhile, James Cameron himself is working on a film based on the Hiroshima bombing titled Ghosts of Hiroshima, which tells the story from those on the business end of the unimaginably destructive blasts that turned Japan into a hell-scape and killed hundreds of people and much more over time as the radiation ravaged the bodies of survivors. ## While Nolan's "Oppenheimer" grossed nearly $1 billion at the global box office, Cameron feels that "Ghosts of Hiroshima" could be his lowest-grossing film because of the subject matter, as he will be showing the aftermath of the atomic bombing. Cameron's film will be based on Charles Pellegrino's book Ghosts of Hiroshima, which comes out August 5 from Blackstone Publishing and The Story Factory. ## Interestingly, "Ghosts of Hiroshima" will be Cameron's first film other than the Avatar movies since "Titanic", which was released more than 2 and a half decades ago in 1997. The filmmaker will be directing this upcoming film between the next Avatar movies. His next release, "Avatar: Fire And Ash" (Avatar 3), will debut on December 19 this year. ## Stay tuned...

James Gunn's 'Superman' Projected To Score Record $125+ Million Domestic Opening

Los Angeles, June 20 - Director James Gunn's Superman is possibly looking to score the biggest opening for a solo Superman movie at the domestic box office after the superhero movie arrived on tracking three weeks before the release. ## Starring David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Superman is the first movie under the new DC Studios, headed by James Gunn and Peter Safran. Directed by Gunn, the movie is hot in the trade with a record opening in sight. ## According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie is tracking to open in the $135 million range at the domestic (North America) box office. The projected figures are from the leading tracking service, the National Research Group, as per THR. ## NRG always provides a range in addition to a solo number; in this case, the range for Superman's domestic opening is $125 million to $145 million. Meanwhile, the insiders at DC Studios and Warner Bros. are not looking too far and are being more conservative in suggesting a $90 million to $125 million opening. ## The projection suggests Superman could emerge as one of the biggest DC openers of all time. It is still behind the $166 million domestic debut of 2016's "Batman v Superman: The Dawn of Justice", but is ahead of or in the range of Zack Snyder's 2013 film "Man of Steel" ($116 million). ## Scheduled to release on July 11, the film explores Superman's journey to reconcile his alien heritage with his adoptive human family. It also stars Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, and Isabela Merced in prominent roles. ## Stay tuned...
