Warner Bros.’ “ Superman ” debuted atop the U.K. and Ireland box office with £6.9 million ($9.4 million), according to Comscore.

“Superman” opened with an impressive $122 million at the domestic box office, Warner Bros. told multiple outlets Sunday, after landing the year’s second-largest opening day Friday, with the film on track to gross over $217 million internationally.

"Superman" is well-liked and should play for weeks in the U.S., but DC's path back to tentpole powerhouse status will take time.
