The summer box office sizzles as Warner Bros.’ Superman and Universal’s Jurassic World Rebirth lead global ticket sales. Both blockbusters are drawing massive crowds, signaling strong momentum for Hollywood’s major franchises amid an increasingly competitive movie landscape.

The DC Universe's first major outing is setting a strong precedent, but it still tails 2016's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" in the week-to-week numbers.

In its second weekend of release, “Superman” collected $57.3 million from 4,774 venues — a standard 54% decline from its $125 million debut. After strong weekday holds, the Warner Bros. comic book adventure has earned $236 million domestically and $406 million globally.
