BOX OFFICE: MAN OF STEEL Earns $113 Million This Weekend For A $125 Million Four Day Total
We now have another set of figures for Man of Steel, this time confirming that the Zack Snyder helmed and Christopher Nolan produced has indeed far exceeded expectations by taking a whopping four-day total of $125 million at the North American box office.
It now seems like a safe bet that this year's San Diego Comic Con will see Warner Bros. confirm a Man of Steel sequel and possibly even Justice League. We do of course need to wait and see how the reboot does internationally and during its second and third weekends domestically, but as it continues to break records overseas and good word of mouth spreads at home, there should be no doubt that Man of Steel will be the first stage of the DC Cinematic Universe. Below are the latest box office figures for Man of Steel, but be sure to stay tuned to CBM for further updates!
In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Henry Cavill) is a young twenty-something journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond his imagination. Transported years ago to Earth from Krypton, a highly advanced, distant planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question 'Why am I here?' Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Diane Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner), Clark discovers having extraordinary abilities means making difficult decisions. When the world is in dire need of stability, an even greater threat emerges. Clark must become a Man of Steel, to protect the people he loves and shine as the world’s beacon of hope – Superman.
