The new film Superman is performing very well on streaming platforms, which is a positive sign for the future of the DC Universe and the Superman franchise. While some fans were initially hesitant about replacing Henry Cavill with David Corenswet, the film demonstrated that Corenswet was a great pick to play a younger Clark Kent.
As a critic, I’ve been watching the numbers, and Superman definitely delivered at the box office, raking in over $615 million and proving profitable for the studio. Not surprisingly, a sequel is already in the works! James Gunn just announced Man of Tomorrow is slated for release on July 9, 2027. With DC making some big moves with its upcoming films, Superman‘s recent success—especially its streaming performance—gives the whole franchise a really solid boost moving forward.
James Gunn’s Superman Movie Is A Hit For HBO Max In Key Streaming Chart
James Gunn’s Superman movie became available on HBO Max on September 19th, surprisingly soon after its theatrical release on July 11th. This quick release was intentional, as the movie and the upcoming second season of Peacemaker are linked. Gunn wanted audiences to see Superman first to fully appreciate the connections in the Peacemaker season.
Nielsen data, reported by The Hollywood Reporter, shows that Superman is quickly becoming a popular streaming movie after its release on HBO Max. During the week of September 22nd to 28th, the film jumped up the charts and landed at number 2 on Nielsen’s list of top movies, surpassing titles like Elio, 28 Years Later, and the 2025 remake of Lilo & Stitch.
I’ve been keeping an eye on the streaming charts, and it’s great to see Superman climbing! Last week it hit number four, which really shows people are still discovering it even after its theatrical run. What’s even more interesting is that Superman is the only movie from HBO Max currently on the list. That definitely proves there’s a lot of excitement around the launch of the DC Universe!
Superman’s Streaming Success Builds Anticipation For Man Of Tomorrow
As a huge movie fan, I was thrilled to see Superman finally turn a profit – it needed to make around $450-562 million to break even, and it’s now at $615 million! Still, even with all the good reviews from critics and fans, I was a little bummed it didn’t beat the box office numbers of Man of Steel (which made $670 million). So, I’m really excited to hear it’s getting a second life on streaming – more people getting to enjoy it is fantastic!
The data reveals that Superman is proving to be a big success on HBO Max. This demonstrates the film’s lasting appeal, as many people who didn’t see it in cinemas are now watching it through streaming. This increased interest could lead to a stronger box office performance for Man of Tomorrow, the upcoming Superman sequel.
