Superman Rockets Into #1 with £6,992,902
Debuting across 700 locations, Warner Bros.' latest Superman reboot soared to £6,992,902, claiming the top spot and ranking as the 8th best opening of the year, just behind F1 The Movie. It also notched the 42nd widest release in UK history.
Here's how it stacks up against past franchise entries:
Title | Opening Weekend Gross | Year |
Man of Steel | £11,198,786 | 2013 |
Superman Returns | £4,337,637 | 2006 |
Superman (2025) | £6,992,902 | 2025 |
It may not have eclipsed Man of Steel, but it's a healthy revival that outperforms Superman Returns and signals franchise resilience.

Universal's Jurassic World Rebirth pulled £3,236,505 (a steep 74% fall, or 65% excluding previews) from 696 cinemas, lifting its total to £19,383,471. That secures it the spot as the 5th highest grossing film of 2025, trailing only Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.
F1 The Movie Still in the Fast Lane
With a £1,170,338 weekend haul across 661 locations, F1 The Movie remains firmly planted in the top 3. It now boasts £15,882,658 to date and overtakes Thunderbolts to become 2025’s 9th top grosser.

28 Years Later: £498,015 (-65%), total now £13,729,504
