Despite Warner Bros. Discovery ultimately being split into two companies, CEO David Zaslav can celebrate a big win this weekend with DC Studios' Superman.

A new "Superman" movie from Warner Bros hauled in an estimated $122 million to lead weekend box office charts in the United States and Canada, a strong domestic debut that kicked off a new era for DC comic book heroes on the big screen.

"Superman," written and directed by James Gunn, brings Clark Kent and his superhero alter ego back to the silver screen.

It was “up, up and away” for James Gunn’s “Superman” reboot, which finished No. 1 at the box office with a $122 million opening weekend.

James Gunn's "Superman" soared to the top of the box office this weekend, notching a win for Warner Bros. and DC Studios, which see the film as a way to revive the entire DC universe.

The latest 'Superman' film by Warner Bros launched with an impressive $122 million domestically and $95 million internationally, totaling $217 million globally. This reboot marks a significant boost for DC Studios,

"The DC vision is clear, the momentum is real, and I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead," the Warner Bros. Discovery CEO says

That breakdown includes $95 million overseas and $122 million domestically. Attendance was slightly softer than expected at the international box office, though box office watchers believe that’s partially due to Superman’s deeply patriotic roots. His motto, after all, is “Truth, justice and the American way.”

"Superman" soared into theaters this weekend, snapping up an estimated $122 million in domestic ticket sales and launching a new era of DC superhero flicks.
