Superman Box Office Collection Day 3: James Gunn's Film Soars With Rs 25 Crore Weekend
Superman's latest film by James Gunn had a smashing start, earning Rs 7 crore on Day 1. By Day 3, it soared to Rs 25.50 crore due to great word-of-mouth and packed shows.
The Man of Steel is flying high once again with James Gunn at the helm. Superman, starring David Corenswet in the iconic cape, has had a strong start at the box office, raking in Rs 25.50 crore over its first weekend. The film opened with an impressive Rs 7 crore on Day 1 and kept the momentum going. By Day 3 (Sunday), it added another Rs 9 crore to its total, thanks to packed evening and night shows in major cities.
As per early estimates from Sacnilk, Superman brought in Rs 9 crore on its third day at the box office. The English version recorded an overall occupancy of 33.04 per cent, with evening shows drawing the biggest crowds at 44.69 per cent.
Going by the numbers, Superman is also the third-best opening for a Hollywood film in India in 2025 after Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning and the Scarlett Johansson-starrer Jurassic World: Rebirth. As expected, the film is performing strongly in premium formats such as IMAX and 4DX, with the biggest revenue coming from urban regions. In comparison to other big Hollywood releases in recent times, Superman has outperformed Brad Pitt's racing films, F1, Final Destination: Bloodlines, as well as Captain America: Brave New World.
Alongside David Corenswet as the new Superman, the film features a star-studded Hollywood cast including Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, and Milly Alcock.
This fresh take on the superhero doesn't revisit the usual origin story. Instead, it explores a younger Clark Kent navigating the tricky balance between his Kryptonian roots and his human upbringing. The film dives into his early years, tackling everything from a PR crisis and a personal identity struggle to his growing feelings for Lois Lane, all while facing off against a menacing Lex Luthor.
In India, the film underwent a few changes before its theatrical release. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) suggested several edits, including trimming a 33-second kissing scene between David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan. According to Bollywood Hungama, the CBFC also directed the studio to remove all explicit language. One particular 8-second sequence involving a slang gesture was cut and replaced with a two-second alternate shot to make the film suitable for Indian audiences.

Has Lokesh Kanagaraj really bagged Rs 50 crore as fees for Rs 350 crore budget film Coolie? Filmmaker spills tea
When it comes to Coolie, Lokesh Kanagaraj has left no stone unturned for one of his most ambitious action thrillers. Starring stalwarts like Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Aamir Khan, Shoubin Shahir, Upendra, and more, the movie is made on an astounding budget of Rs. 350 crores. Is Lokesh Kanagaraj really getting paid Rs. 50 crore for Coolie? In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Lokesh Kanagaraj broke his silence on whether he indeed bagged Rs. 50 crore as fees for directing Coolie. The filmmaker had a very interesting response to it. He recalled the massive success of his last film, Leo, which earned Rs. 600 crore at the box office, and added that it was quite natural that his fees would be doubled after this. Lokesh said, 'You might ask me about my Rs. 50 crore remuneration, but it stems from the fact that my last film, Leo, did very well at the box office and collected in the range of Rs. 600 crore. So it is only natural that my remuneration also got doubled. This is a demand and supply field, and I am working hard for every penny.' When will Coolie's trailer be released? In the same interview, the filmmaker answered one of the most buzzed-about questions about Coolie's trailer. As innumerable fans await to witness what's in store for them with this film, Lokesh finally revealed the date for the same. He said, 'I want to deliver one trailer and then the film. More than that, anything will be a giveaway. All I wanted to deliver was one trailer, and the date is August 2.' When Nagarjuna revealed he'll be locking horns with Rajinikanth in Coolie Just a few days back, Nagarjuna Akkineni revealed some spoilers about his portions in Coolie. The actor mentioned how he, as the antagonist, would be locking horns with Rajinikanth. He added, 'This was a fun experience because of how different it is from what I've done so far. Being the main antagonist, I had many scenes with Rajinikanth sir... It's him against me..' For the unversed, Coolie's date of release, August 14, clashes with another big-budget film, War 2, which is also hitting big screens on the same date. It remains to be seen how the two movies fare at the box office, despite the clash.
