However, the decision to make Superman available digitally didn't sit right with certain sections of fans on social media, who blatantly questioned why there is such a huge rush to release the movie. Superman is the third highest grosser of 2025 worldwide and is only behind Jurassic World: Rebirth and Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning Part.

The superhero movie managed to gross more than $580 million worldwide and continues to attract audiences to the theaters. However, Superman's international performance fell short of expectations. The DC film earned applause in the domestic US market, but the same cannot be said about international markets like India, the UK, and more.
