Superman crosses $400 million worldwide at box office, Jurassic World Rebirth nears $650 million milestone

The global box office continues to heat up this summer, with Warner Bros.’ Superman and Universal’s Jurassic World Rebirth dominating ticket sales.

Superman, the latest reboot of the iconic DC superhero, has flown past $406 million worldwide after just two weekends in theaters. The film, which stars David Corenswet as the new Man of Steel, has earned $235 million from North America and an additional $171.8 million from international markets. Despite a slightly softer overseas performance — $45.2 million in its second weekend abroad — the film remains a major player in Warner Bros.' ambitious plans to reinvigorate the DC Universe. With spin-offs like Supergirl and Clayface already slated for 2026 and a new Wonder Woman project in development, Superman is viewed as the keystone for a new era of superhero storytelling. However, it will face fresh competition next weekend from Disney and Marvel’s The Fantastic Four reboot.

Meanwhile, Jurassic World Rebirth continues to stomp through the global box office with impressive momentum. In its third weekend, the dino-driven blockbuster added $40.2 million from 82 international territories, bringing its global total to $647 million — including $371 million from overseas markets. Starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali, the reboot is now one of only three Hollywood releases in 2025 to surpass the $600 million milestone, joining Lilo & Stitch ($1.008 billion) and A Minecraft Movie ($955 million). While it still has a ways to go to match the billion-dollar runs of its predecessors, Rebirth has proven that Jurassic-sized spectacle still draws crowds.

Among the new releases, Paramount’s animated Smurfs musical opened with a lukewarm $36 million globally, including $22.6 million from 58 international markets and $11 million domestically. Despite a star-studded voice cast led by Rihanna, the film’s $58 million budget suggests its success may hinge more on merchandise than box office performance. France ($3.7M), the UK ($1.7M), and Brazil ($1.6M) were its top overseas performers.

Sony’s horror revival I Know What You Did Last Summer also debuted to modest numbers, earning $24.6 million globally — $13 million domestically and $11.6 million from 58 international markets. With a low production cost of $18 million, the nostalgic slasher film starring Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt may still carve out a profit.

Lastly, Apple’s high-octane F1: The Movie, starring Brad Pitt, has surged to $460.8 million globally, including $307.2 million from international markets. With this, F1 becomes Apple’s most successful theatrical release to date — a victory lap for both the studio and Formula One fandom worldwide.
