James Gunn’s Superman, featuring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult, has exceeded the ₹30 crore mark at Indian box offices. The film is managing modestly despite mixed reactions and stiff competition. It is particularly helped by Tuesday’s slashed ticket rates.
Day 5 Sees Slight Jump with ₹3 Crore Collection
Released on July 11th by Warner Bros Pictures, Superman had an opening of ₹6.75 crore. The movie had a good increase on the second day, raking in ₹9 crore on Saturday. Sunday did not show much growth, and the opening weekend ended with ₹24.50 crore net.
The opening Monday saw a steep decline, with the film collecting ₹2.85 crore. On Day 5 (Tuesday), due to reduced prices, the movie saw an increase, collecting an estimated ₹3 crore and reaching its five-day total of ₹30.35 crore net (excluding 3D handling charges).

Future Outlook and Competition
The film opened with Maalik and Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan, but against holdover competition in the form of F1 and Jurassic World: Rebirth. The divided audience reaction and imminent new releases may also crimp its pace in the next week.
For Superman to continue its run in Indian theatres, it will require stronger weekday trends and word-of-mouth. Whether it will accelerate or slow down is to be seen.
