Superman‘s box office pᴀssed Jurᴀssic World Rebirth in a highest-grossing chart. The new DC Universe is having a strong start with the Man of Steel, proving James Gunn was right to step in as writer/director of the feature film. In a year when Marvel’s superhero movies have struggled at the box office, the tide has turned for the DCU.
That is great news for future DC movies, such as Supergirl, which spins out of Superman next year. Previously, the final batch of movies in the old DCEU, which were all released in 2023, underperformed at the box office, including The Flash, one of DC’s biggest box office disappointments. Now, the studio is starting a new cinematic universe on the right foot.
According to The Numbers, Superman has flown past Jurᴀssic World Rebirth at the domestic box office. James Gunn’s DC movie has reached $320.3 million domestically, while the Scarlett Johansson-led entry in the Jurᴀssic franchise stays behind at $318.8 million. Superman is now the third-highest-grossing movie of 2025 at the domestic box office, behind Lilo & Sтιтch and A Minecraft Movie.

That said, both summer releases remain successful. Superman and Jurᴀssic World Rebirth have managed to break into the all-time domestic box office chart. With its $318.8 million, the dinosaur flick sits at 96th, in between Transformers and The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. As for Superman, the DC movie’s $320.3 million put it in the 94th spot.
While Superman‘s domestic box office continues to rise, the Man of Steel has not caught up internationally. In that field, Jurᴀssic World Rebirth is superior to the DC release, with the Scarlett Johansson film at a mighty $449.2 million, against Superman‘s shy $239 million. Due to that, Superman should have a hard time reaching Rebirth‘s $768 million global total.
Our Take On Superman Pᴀssing Jurᴀssic World Rebirth At The Domestic Box Office
Superman performing better domestically than at the international box office makes sense. After all, the hero has been known for a long time for the motto, “Truth, Justice, and the American Way.” Even though DC Comics has tried to change that in the last few years, it has still to catch on. Still, Superman‘s domestic performance should push it to profitability.
As for Superman pᴀssing Jurᴀssic World Rebirth at the domestic box office, that is a feat that should not be understated. While the Jurᴀssic World movies have seen their box office diminish with each film, the franchise’s lowest domestic tally before Rebirth is Dominion‘s $376.8 million. As such, Superman is beating a mighty compeтιтor, which bodes well for DC.
