James Gunn shares heartfelt reaction to Superman’s success

James Gunn expressed his heartfelt appreciation to fans via social media after the successful debut weekend of the film. On Twitter, he posted, “I’m deeply thankful for your excitement and thoughtful comments over the last few days. In Superman, there has been plenty of ‘Super’, but I’m glad we made a movie that emphasizes the ‘man’ aspect – a character who consistently cares for those in trouble.

As I stood there, I couldn’t help but feel moved by the profound impact our work has had on people worldwide. It’s a heartening sign of humanity’s inherent goodness and compassion. So, from the depths of my heart, I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who’s been part of this journey with us. Thank you!

Over the thrilling opening weekend, I found myself witnessing the astounding global success of Superman, raking in a whopping $217 million! In the United States alone, this cinematic marvel recorded the third-best domestic opening of the year, pocketing a cool $122 million. But let’s not forget about our international audience – Superman has also charmed them with an impressive $95 million gross, according to Box Office Mojo. It was truly a super start!

In other words, this new movie has even outperformed the opening weekend earnings of Henry Cavill’s 2013 film Man of Steel, which made $116.6 million in its first weekend. As of now, on Rotten Tomatoes, it holds an 83% rating on the Tomatometer based on 355 reviews, and a score of 93% on the Popcornmeter.
