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.

Superman is set to break a box office record by the end of its first weekend in theaters. The new superhero movie was written and directed by James Gunn and stars David Corenswet as Superman opposite Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.

After nearly three years of development and public speculation, it is finally time to see if Warner Bros./DC Studios’ “Superman” can launch a brand-new cinematic universe and revitalize a superhero genre that is no longer the surefire box office behemoth it was in the 2010s.
