Superman~2025 from director and current DCEU boss James Gunn hits the top of the UK box office on its debut weekend with a solid nearly £7 Million weekend gross.
Compared to Man of Steel from 2013 this is lower with that movie taking £11 Million on its debut.
Comparing it to other Superman movies, its higher that the 2006 Bryan Singer movie Superman Returns which scraped in just over £4 Million and the classic 1978 Superman starring Christopher Reeves took just over a million on its debut which would be just over £4 Million adjusted for inflation - but cinema was very different back then.

Its not quite the cuddly animated feature that Disney has portrayed over the years, but its fun to see a new take on the classic, not sure its what the author had in mind thought!
The movie is yet to get a release date but we can likely expect to see this around October halloween season, or in the new year when horror movies also do well.
It is directed by Rhys Waterfield who has a number of movies in production and stars May Kelly and Amber Doig-Thorne who also have a number of movies filming.
