"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.

James Gunn's tentpole appears to be succeeding in rebooting the Warner Bros.-owned DC and its most prized superhero franchise. Elsewhere, 'Jurassic World Rebirth' bites off a huge $500 million globally.

The new Superman movie starring David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult and Rachel Brosnahan made over $120 million at the domestic box office for opening weekend.
