Warner Bros. Pictures’ “Superman” flew past the competition for the second straight week, grossing an estimated $57.25 million to top the box office this weekend. James Gunn’s reboot grossed $122 million in its opening weekend, according to data provided by Comscore. It has now grossed $235 million domestically and $406.8 million worldwide, according to Comscore. “We’ve seen really strong daily holds and usually that is indicative of word of mouth taking in, especially on a big film like this that already opened pretty well,” said Shawn Robbins, director of analytics at Fandango and founder and owner of Box Office Theory. Warner Bros. Discovery is the parent company of CNN. “Superman” and Universal Pictures’ “Jurassic World Rebirth, which came in at No. 2 during its third week ($23.4 million), held off this weekend’s openers, including Sony Pictures’ “I Know What You Did Last Summer” ($13 million) and Paramount Pictures’ “Smurfs” ($11 million). “When movies open this big, sometimes they drop off significantly in their second and third weekends. But it seems to be a pattern this year, particularly this summer, where you have blockbusters holding in there,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore.
