“Superman” continues to rule the worldwide box office, powering to $406 million after two weekends of release.

Those ticket sales include $171.8 million overseas and $235 million from the North American market. Turnout remains softer than expected at the international box office, where “Superman” added $45.2 million in its second weekend. Outsized global appeal is vital because the comic book reboot, starring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, has the lofty goal of launching a new phase of superhero movies for the Warner Bros.-backed DC Studios. Two interconnected spinoffs, “Supergirl” and “Clayface,” will land in 2026 while a new “Wonder Woman” movie is in the works. Plus, “Superman” will face steep competition next weekend as another comic book adventure, Disney and Marvel’s “The Fantastic Four,” opens in theaters.

Meanwhile Universal’s “Jurassic World Rebirth” had another huge showing with $40.2 million from 82 overseas territories in its third weekend of release. So far, the prehistoric tentpole has earned a towering $371 million internationally and $647 million globally. The dinosaur reboot, starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali, is one of only three Hollywood films to surpass the $600 million mark this year, the others being “Lilo & Stitch” ($1.008 billion) and “A Minecraft Movie” ($955 million). However, the latest “Jurassic” has T-rex sized footprints to fill at the box office since the prior sequel trilogy, led by Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, each grossed $1 billion globally.

In terms of newcomers, Paramount’s animated “Smurfs” musical collected $22.6 million from 58 markets. Along with a domestic debut of $11 million, the family film has earned $36 million worldwide to date. It’s an underwhelming start for the $58 million-budgeted film, which will likely drive consumer product sales even if the film fails to launch a new cinematic universe. Top-earning territories include France ($3.7 million), the United Kingdom ($1.7 million) and Brazil ($1.6 million). Rihanna leads the voice cast of “Smurfs” as Smurfette alongside the sprawling ensemble of James Corden, Nick Offerman, Natasha Lyonne, Sandra Oh, Jimmy Kimmel, Octavia Spencer and John Goodman.

Another new release, Sony’s R-rated “I Know What You Did Last Summer” launched to $11.6 million from 58 markets. The slasher sequel, which brought together the stars of the original 1998 film Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt with newcomers Madelyn Cline and Chase Sui-Wonders, debuted in North America with $13 million for a global start of $24.6 million. Although nostalgia isn’t as strong as Sony might have expected when rebooting the decades-old franchise, the studio spent a modest $18 million to produce the film, meaning there isn’t a high bar to clear in terms of profitability.

In another box office milestone, Apple’s “F1: The Movie” has revved past the $450 million mark globally. So far the $250 million-budgeted film has collected a huge $307.2 million internationally and $460.8 million worldwide. At this point, “F1” has earned more in just overseas markets than any of Apple’s prior movies — including Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” ($158 million worldwide) and Ridley Scott’s “Napoleon” ($221 million) — have generated in their entire global box office runs. It’s a mighty achievement for an original tentpole that’s aimed at adult audiences as well as a testament to Pitt’s star power and the popularity of the Formula One motorsport.
