‘Superman' Flies To $407M Global, ‘Jurassic World Rebirth' At Monster $648M; ‘F1' Racing Towards $500M WW & ‘Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle' Sets Records In Japan
Taking the major milestones first, and before digging into more detail, DC/Warner Bros' Superman topped the four-century mark in its sophomore session, flying to $406.8M global. In its 3rd weekend, Universal/Amblin's Jurassic World Rebirth, after topping half a billion worldwide during its sophomore frame, roared past $600M global to reach $648M through Sunday.

In holds, and near milestones, Apple Original Films's F1, via Warner Bros, keeps pushing the needle with increases in some markets again this session amid a mere 24% overseas drop from last weekend to top $300M ($307.2M) at the international box office and reach a $460.8M global cume to date, on its way to $500M.
Universal's How to Train Your Dragon is closing in on $600M worldwide with $589M through today.
Notably, some of the above titles have yet to open in Japan, having dated out of the way of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle which started local release on Friday. This is the massively anticipated latest in the Demon Slayer franchise. While getting reliable grosses out of Japan this early (particularly as this is a four-day weekend with Monday a holiday), we are hearing estimates as high as 5.9B yen ($39.7M) for the FSS.
We will update as clearer figures become available, but we do know that the movie (which will be released by Sony domestically in September) opened to an all-time Imax record in Japan of $3M. That's bigger than any Hollywood or local title and includes an Imax opening day Friday record. The estimated four-day total is $3.5M in Imax.
Before we turn back to details on the above Hollywood holdovers, here's how the new movies fared.
Paramount Animation's Smurfs grossed $22.6M this session internationally, for $33.6M global. That's lower than where we saw it pre-open, but comes with the codicil of a crowded marketplace and not so family friendly weather in Europe. Including Australia, which started last weekend, the offshore cume is $25M.
As expected, France was first up with $3.7M, followed by the UK at $1.7M, Brazil at $1.6M, Mexico with $1.5M and Germany at $1.5M. Including last weekend, Australia is at $3.3M.
Major markets still to release include Korea and Italy in August and Japan in September.
Also new, Sony's I Know What You Did Last Summer hooked $11.6M from 58 overseas markets this session. That's on par with Happy Death Day 2U and 11% above Speak No Evil for the same group of markets at current rates.
Overall, there's not the same nostalgia for this property internationally as there is domestically.

Barbenheimer's Epic Double Feature Happened 2 Years Ago, And I'm Worried I'll Never Get That Same Experience
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Back in 2023, there was a time when it felt as if all was right with the world, and that, my friends, was Barbenheimer. While the 2025 movie schedule has been filled to the brim with great releases, I really don't think we're going to get another time like this, and that worries me. It's been two years. I know, it's hard to believe it, but it has, and it honestly feels like a lifetime at this point. We have had some major releases come out since then, such as the latest Superman, which turned me into a fan. Or we could point to Wicked, which took over the world for a month or two. However, nothing has hit quite as hard as when these two films – Barbie and Oppenheimer – were released simultaneously. And honestly, I don't think we're going to get another instance like this, at least for a long time. Barbenheimer Was Perfectly Timed During The Summer I think a big reason why Barbenheimer was such a success was that both of these releases were planned at the perfect time – right in the middle of summer. I always feel that the most successful blockbusters tend to happen at this point, and it's clear both of these, by their box office amounts, did incredibly well. Barbie earned well over $1 billion, and Oppenheimer came really close to the mark, as did a rated-R movie. However, because many people had a day off or two during this time, seeing the double feature was that much easier. The Amount Of Marketing For Both Was Done Amazingly Well And Spawned An Era Unlike Any Other Another significant factor contributing to this success is that the marketing teams were on point. We all already knew Christopher Nolan's best films. We were all already aware of the pull Barbie had as a toy. However, the fact that these two were eventually marketed together as a double feature paved the way for its success. They had their marketing – it was practically pink mania for months with Barbie. However, I think it worked best when people combined the films into one prominent double feature, allowing fans to dress up for each and go out with their friends, making it a whole event rather than just an outing or a date. That's the key in marketing here. The Fanbases Somehow Collided In A Way Unlike Ever Before, And I Don't Think We'll Get That Again The beauty of this is that Barbenheimer is special. Something like this has happened before, where two totally conflicting genres released major films on the same day – The Dark Knight and Mamma Mia!, a movie I rewatch all the time – but that was never as grand an event. The same thing happened with the release of Wicked and Gladiator, and how marketing teams tried to make it the new Barbenheimer, but it just didn't work – even if both films did very well. I think Barbenheimer is a one-and-done, and that does sadden me. There was something so…magical about this time, as cheesy as that sounds. The idea of two completely different fan bases coming together to celebrate films, in two totally different styles, is something that I will always love and never forget. The hype that led up to this made it even more enjoyable, and attending the double feature with my friends and a crowd of people who just loved movies was unlike any other. Maybe one day we'll get another Barbenheimer. But you know what? I'm happy with it living in my memory, even if I feel that we're never going to get another time like this one.

Anthony Mackie shares his thoughts on Robert Downey Jr. returning to the MCU as Doctor Doom
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain," as quoted from that comic book movie set in the universe down the street from the MCU. By the end of next year, Robert Downey Jr. will have done both when he finally arrives in theaters as the leader of Latveria and metal-plated bad guy, Victor von Doom. Bringing back the star power and charisma he let rip as Iron Man and using it for evil in the franchise he helped build, the excitement levels are high as to what kind of Doctor Doom he'll be delivering in the upcoming movie. Whatever it ends up being, though, the new Captain America he'll be facing off against welcomes his return. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, current Captain America Anthony Mackie shared his thoughts on Downey returning to the MCU and expressed his gratitude for seeing it happen. 'You know, the fun part is Robert Downey Jr. was such an integral part of the beginning of my career at Marvel," he confessed. "It's great to have him back and continue the legacy he built with the MCU.' By the sounds of things, it almost feels like he never left after his original Iron Avenger, Tony Stark, made the killer snap that brought back half the MCU in Avengers: Endgame. Not only working with stars he left behind in the 2019 film, Downey is also welcoming in the newcomers to the MCU that are set to join in on this super-sized endeavor. Speaking to The Happy Sad Confused Podcast, The Fantastic Four: First Steps star discussed what it was like to see the original star of the MCU in action and behind the scenes. 'He's the most incredible human being—soulful, deep, kind. He's been an amazing leader to us, considering we're the newbies, you know," she explained. "And a lot of the others have known this world for a really long time. He's just doing the most amazing work.' Unfortunately, we'll have to wait a while to see this amazing work in action when Avengers: Doomsday lands in theaters on December 18, 2026. For everything we know about the arrival of Doom, head here. Solve the daily Crossword

'Spider-Man' and 'Fantastic Four' Could Finally Team Up in New Marvel Crossover
Johnny Storm wanted it, and now Marvel fans may get it. Joseph Quinn, who plays Johnny Storm in the new Fantastic Four: First Steps movie, has expressed his desire to team up with Tom Holland's Spider-Man. During a prior interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Quinn responded to a question about the comic book friendship between Storm and Peter Parker. 'That pairing makes sense to me and I think he's brilliant and I'm up for it,' Quinn said. 'I think we'd have a laugh. I've never met Tom and I think he's brilliant; his Peter Parker is the best one ever, I think he's our best-ever Spider-Man, so why not? Let's do it, get it moving.' While Quinn's comments drew plenty of attention, Marvel president Kevin Feige's recent roundtable interview also brought mention of a potential Johnny Storm-Peter Parker collaboration. As ScreenRant revealed, Feige called it a "blue sky dream" but one that's now "in the realm of possibility." "We didn't do chemistry reads, but whenever we cast it is with that blue sky dream in mind of one day being able to do that," Feige said. "And that's a great example. That's one of the key relationships in Marvel comics is Johnny Storm and Peter Parker." "And we've never been able to come close to it before and now it is in the realm of possibility. That's exciting. That gets me up in the morning." Holland first portrayed Spider-Man in the 2016 film Captain America: Civil War. He was then featured in his own solo film, Spider-Man: Homecoming, in 2017. Holland has played the iconic superhero role in several films, including the standalone Spider-Man movies and The Avengers. While there's nothing set in stone yet, Feige's comments point to a potential Quinn and Holland pairing in a Marvel film down the line, something that comic book fans and moviegoers alike would surely love to see.'Spider-Man' and 'Fantastic Four' Could Finally Team Up in New Marvel Crossover first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 24, 2025 Solve the daily Crossword
