The days of every Marvel Cinematic Universe movie being a sure-fire hit are long gone. When Avengers: Endgame broke every box-office record imaginable on its way to almost $2.8 billion worldwide, Marvel seemed untouchable.

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

James Gunn's tentpole appears to be succeeding in rebooting the Warner Bros.-owned DC and its most prized superhero franchise. Elsewhere, 'Jurassic World Rebirth' bites off a huge $500 million globally.

A ten-year-old Marvel flop has convinced me that the futures of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and DC Universe are in better hands than ever before.

It’s a woman’s world at the box office as “Avengers” star Scarlett Johansson has become the top-grossing star according to total global ticket sales. The list, recently released by The Numbers, is not surprisingly packed with actors who are best known for playing superheroes and other varieties of world saviors.

"Superman is just the first step. Over the next year alone, DC Studios will introduce the films Supergirl and Clayface in theaters and the series Lanterns on HBO Max, all part of a bold ten-year plan," added Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav. "The DC vision is clear, the momentum is real, and I couldn't be more excited for what's ahead."

With "Jurassic World Rebirth," Scarlett Johansson has usurped Samuel L. Jackson as the highest-grossing actor of all time at the global box office.
