It also recently entered the top ten Warner Bros. releases in the U.S. After seven weeks in theaters, its current run is winding down, and footfalls have naturally declined.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As the David Corenswet-led superhero film approaches the end of its global box office journey, it continues to break records and outgross earlier blockbusters. Now, it is steadily closing in on the massive Chinese sci-fi action hit The Wandering Earth II (2023). Let\u2019s see how much Superman still needs to earn to surpass the worldwide total of this blockbuster.<\/p>\n<p>Superman vs. The Wandering Earth II \u2013 Box Office Comparison<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here\u2019s a breakdown of the two films\u2019 box office performance, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxofficemojo.com\/title\/tt5950044\/?ref_=bo_se_r_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Box Office Mojo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Superman \u2013 Box Office Summary\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>North America: $348.1 million<br \/>\nInternational: $258.5 million<br \/>\nWorldwide: $606.6 million<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Wandering Earth II \u2013 Box Office Summary<\/p>\n<p>North America: $5 million<br \/>\nInternational: $610 million<br \/>\nWorldwide: $615 million<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As the figures show, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/box-office\/superman-worldwide-box-office-james-gunns-reboot-set-to-outgross-mel-gibsons-610m-controversial-blockbuster\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Superman<\/a> currently trails The Wandering Earth II by about $8.4 million. Whether the reboot can surpass this milestone depends on its remaining domestic and international earnings. With projections estimating a global total of $615\u2013620 million, Superman is on track to reach this target.<\/p>\n<p>Superman vs. The Wandering Earth (2019) \u2013 Who Leads The Global Box Office?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Wandering Earth II serves as a prequel to the 2019 film The Wandering Earth, which proved to be an even bigger box office success. Compared to Superman\u2019s current global haul of $606.6 million, the 2019 Chinese blockbuster earned $699.9 million worldwide. This creates a staggering $93 million gap between the two films, a figure beyond reach for Superman\u2019s current theatrical run.<\/p>\n<p>What Is Superman About?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Directed by James Gunn, the film centers on Clark Kent (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/box-office\/david-corenswet-at-the-worldwide-box-office-from-supermans-500m-run-to-a-modest-10m-period-horror\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">David Corenswet<\/a>) in his early days as a reporter and how he tries to find a balance between his Kryptonian legacy and his human upbringing in Smallville. The movie also features Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, and Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl.<\/p>\n<p>Superman Trailer<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned to Koimoi for more<a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/category\/box-office\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> box office<\/a> updates!<\/p>\n<p>Must Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/box-office\/superman-worldwide-box-office-james-gunns-dcu-film-lags-55m-behind-zack-snyders-justice-league-with-no-chance-of-catching-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Superman Worldwide Box Office: James Gunn\u2019s DCU Film Lags $55M Behind Zack Snyder\u2019s Justice League With No Chance Of Catching Up<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Follow Us: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/koimoidotcom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/koimoi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Koimoi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Twitter<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/Koimoi4Bollywood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">YouTube<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/s\/CBIwo7yAqUE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Google News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>                                            <script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Superman Worldwide Box Office (Photo Credit \u2013 Instagram) In addition to earning positive reviews from both critics and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":103941,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[64,63,134,344],"class_list":["post-103940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103940","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103940"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103940\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
