‘Superman’ Flexes Its Might At The Box Office

NEW YORK (AP) — James Gunn’s “Superman” continues to top the box office charts in its second weekend in theaters. According to studio estimates Sunday, the film collected $57.3 million in ticket sales this weekend. New releases include “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” “Smurfs,” and “Eddington, ” but none of those movies came close to touching Warner Bros. and DC Studios’ superhero success. “Superman” dipped 54% from its domestic opening weekend, an average decline for a big summer release. In two weeks, “Superman” has grossed $406.8 million worldwide, a good start for the film DC Studios is banking on to restart its movie operations. A big test looms next weekend when Walt Disney Company will release Marvel’s “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.”’S
