Superman review
Superman received positive reviews with critics praising the performances and the execution.
The Times of India gave it a rating of 3.5/5 and described it as ' entertaining and enjoyable'.
'Superman is entertaining, enjoyable, even epic but never intense. James Gunn's non-origin story soars high visually but stays limited emotionally. The director's unyielding need to go traditional comes at a cost. It is still a tremendous cinematic experience that deserves to be watched in IMAX,'read a portion of the review.
The healthy word-of-mouth is expected to stay strong today (July 13) despite the fact that it has reportedly been leaked online.

Box Office: Jurassic World: Rebirth scores sensational second weekend in India; Scarlett Johansson film collects Rs 67 crore in 10 days
The Scarlett Johansson-led Jurassic World: Rebirth is recording a spectacular run at the box office in India, as the film collected Rs 16.75 crore in its second weekend, taking the 10-day total collection to Rs 67.20 crore. The dinosaur saga jumped from strength to strength over the weekend, and is now on track to become the second biggest Jurassic World film in India. In 10-days flat, it has surpassed the collections of Jurassic World: Dominion (Rs 66 crore), and will soon top the numbers of Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom (Rs 82 crore). The film will be looking for a finish in the vicinity of Rs 85.00 crore in India. Jurassic is a strong franchise in India right from the 90s, and the creature feature is among the rare from Hollywood that has an appeal in the mass belts too. For Jurassic World: Rebirth, the Hindi version has also put up reasonable numbers, keeping the film in the race for emerging the second biggest from the franchise. The trend of Jurassic World in India is in sync with the global trend, as the film continues to overperform vis-à-vis all the predictions. While the critic reviews appear to be mixed from the word go, the audience feedback is a lot better, making it one of the rarest critic-proof franchises of the world. The film is continuing to clock numbers in India battling all sorts of competition – right from F1 to Superman. Interestingly, it has not got an IMAX release too, and the premium big screen format could have escalated the business further by at-least 10 percent. Jurassic World: Rebirth is a HIT in India, and the trend in the coming two weeks will decide if it has enough legs to emerge a Super-Hit venture. Week One: Rs 50.45 crore 2nd Friday: Rs 2.75 crore 2nd Saturday: Rs 6.75 crore 2nd Sunday: Rs 7.25 crore Total: Rs 67.20 crore

Box Office: Sitaare Zameen Par continues with healthy trend; Aamir Khan starrer collects Rs 155 crore in 24 days
The Aamir Khan-led Sitaare Zameen Par is continuing with its healthy run at the box office in India, as the film has collected Rs 5.75 crore in its fourth weekend, taking the total nett collections to Rs 155 crore. The social dramedy scored Rs 1.00 crore on 4th Friday, followed by a jump to Rs 2.25 crore and Rs 2.50 crore respectively on 4th Saturday and 4th Sunday. The RS Prassana directorial is continuing to get numbers in the urban markets, and is now nearing te end of its run. The lifetime collections of Sitaare Zameen Par could now fall in the range of Rs 165 crore to Rs 170 crore, which is more or less in the same range as Raid 2 and Housefull 5. One must note that, given the controlled budget and a good theatrical trend, Sitaare Zameen Par has emerged a hit venture at the box office. The verdict is largely driven by the weekend-to-weekend trajectory of this Aamir Khan starrer, as the film is getting patronage from the family audience on every Saturday and Sunday since its release. The box office is in a much better shape now as mid-range films have started to do well, and cinema is no longer a medium for just the tentpole spectacles. A finish in the north of Rs 200 crore would have been sweeter for Sitaare Zameen Par, but the drop on the first Monday had more or less put curtains on the dreams of a double century in India. Nonetheless, this is a good result for the Aamir Khan starrer, and a much-needed HIT for the actor, bringing him back in the business. Sitaare Zameen Par Day Wise Box Office Collection Week One: Rs 87.50 crore Week Two: Rs 44.50 crore Week Three: Rs 17.25 crore 4th Friday: Rs 1.00 crore 4th Saturday: Rs 2.25 crore 4th Sunday: Rs 2.50 crore Total: Rs 155 crore

Nine years after theatrical release, Emilia Clarke's ‘Me Before You' climbs Prime Video charts
'Me Before You', a romantic drama starring 'Game of Thrones' actor Emilia Clarke, which once stirred strong reactions, is now gaining newfound popularity on Amazon Prime Video. The 2016 film, which also stars Sam Claflin, has surged into Prime Video's global Top 10 rankings nearly a decade after its theatrical release. Directed by Thea Sharrock, the film was adapted from Jojo Moyes' bestselling novel. It follows Louisa Clark, a quirky caretaker who develops a complex relationship with Will Traynor, a wealthy man left paralysed after an accident. Although the movie was commercially successful during its initial run, a Screen Rant report said it drew significant backlash for its depiction of disability and portrayal of assisted suicide or euthanasia. Another report in Collider cited FlixPatrol data showing 'Me Before You' has recently climbed the Prime Video Top 10 lists in several countries, including Argentina, Egypt, Guatemala, Mexico and the United States. On July 5, the film reached its highest average international ranking, sitting at 5.4 across 13 countries. Earlier this year, it had entered the US Top 10, marking a resurgence in English-speaking markets, the Screen Rant report added. When the movie, which also stars Janet McTeer and Joanna Lumley, was released in 2016, it grossed $208.4 million worldwide against a modest $20 million budget: a 10.4x return on investment. It outperformed titles like 'Arrival', 'The BFG' and 'Bridget Jones's Baby', becoming the 42nd highest-grossing movie of the year. The Collider report stated that while audiences gave the film a 73% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, critics were less favorable, with a 54% score. Much of the criticism centered around the film's messaging and handling of sensitive themes, particularly regarding the protagonist's decision to pursue assisted suicide. Emilia Clarke's role as Daenerys Targaryen in HBO's 'Game of Thrones' catapulted her to fame. Since the series ended in 2019, Clarke has taken on a variety of roles, from the romantic holiday film 'Last Christmas' to her recent appearance in Marvel's 'Secret Invasion'. In spite of mixed reception for some projects, Clarke's role in 'Me Before You' remains one of her most emotionally resonant performances ever. Why was 'Me Before You' controversial? The film was criticised for promoting ableist ideas and for its portrayal of assisted suicide (euthanasia) as a romantic act, which drew backlash from disability rights activists. Is 'Me Before You' based on a true story? No. The film is a fictional adaptation of Jojo Moyes' 2012 bestselling novel of the same name. Where can you watch 'Me Before You' now? 'Me Before You' is currently available to stream on Prime Video.
