ABC News’ Reena Roy reports on the booming box office as audiences flock into theaters with a summer roster of sequels, reboots and classic favorites getting a modern twist.

Also, it’s another great start for the summer box office, the second $100M+ opening after Lilo & Stitch ‘s $146M. Superman cost before P&A $225M net. Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel opened to $116.6M back in 2013, unadjusted for inflation.

Although the figures don't come from Warner Bros themselves, if confirmed then Superman stands to be the second-best opening for a Superman movie overall, coming in behind 2016's Batman v. Superman which grossed $166 million.

James Gunn's Superman, starring David Corenswet, released on Friday. It is available in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu in India.

Also at the multiplex is “Eddington,” a dark comedy billed as a contemporary Western starring Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone and Pedro Pascal. On the family-friendly front is the animated “Smurfs,” featuring the voices of Rihanna, James Corden and Nick Offerman.

“Superman” didn’t just fly — the film almost destroyed the competition. The movie was the superhero of Friday’s box office with The Man of Steel rocketing to the top spot. On its opening day, it raked in a heroic $56.5 million, according to The Numbers.
