The box office can be a pretty exciting horse race to follow, even if you’re just focusing on the here and now. So far on the 2025 movie schedule, we’ve seen two weekends of Superman’s box office deliver #1 finishes, nabbing a handful of milestones along the way. Two more notable thresholds can now be added to Big Blue’s trophy case, as comparing James Gunn’s reboot to both Thunderbolts* and Black Adam shows a rather interesting pattern, while also pointing out a frontier where Supes still falls behind.
