James Gunn ‘s Superman has taken flight at the box office. The highly anticipated superhero tentpole, from DC Studios and Warner Bros., earned $22.5 million in Thursday previews and other sneak showings at the North American box office.

James Gunn's Superman is expected to generate more than $200M in its global premiere during the three-day weekend, according to early estimates by industry insiders. A Deadline report from Friday citing sources said box office previews for Gunn’s Superman are at least $22.

“Superman” will easily defeat last week’s box office champion, Universal’s “Jurassic World Rebirth,” which is looking to make $35 million to $45 million in its second weekend, a 50% to 60% from its debut.
