James Gunn‘s Superman has taken flight at the box office. The highly anticipated superhero tentpole, from DC Studios and Warner Bros., earned $22.5 million in Thursday previews and other sneak showings at the North American box office.

“Superman” will easily defeat last week’s box office champion, Universal’s “Jurassic World Rebirth,” which is looking to make $35 million to $45 million in its second weekend, a 50% to 60% from its debut.

James Gunn's Superman is expected to generate more than $200M in its global premiere during the three-day weekend, according to early estimates by industry insiders. A Deadline report from Friday citing sources said box office previews for Gunn’s Superman are at least $22.
