With Superman's opening weekend in the rear view mirror, just how much does the first movie in the DCU reboot need to make? Is James Gunn chasing a billion dollars or something else?

Superman' numbers look promising, but they might not stand up to scrutiny of the foreign box office and 'Man of Steel'.

"Superman is just the first step. Over the next year alone, DC Studios will introduce the films Supergirl and Clayface in theaters and the series Lanterns on HBO Max, all part of a bold ten-year plan," added Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav. "The DC vision is clear, the momentum is real, and I couldn't be more excited for what's ahead."

This means that future DCU movies and series don’t need to only move the story forward. They can also take things back in time. A period story about a metahuman from 100, 200, or 300 years ago is perfectly acceptable. This opens up possibilities for different sorts of stories in a way that the MCU has largely had to rely on the multiverse to tell.

Starring David Corenswet in the titular role of Clark Kent/ Superman, the film was released in theatres on July 11.
