Gods and Monsters is officially in motion in theaters with the release of Superman, and the writer, director, and producer has scored big at the box office.

The movie — launching a new era for DC Studios — will be only the third Hollywood pic of the year so far to cross the century mark in its domestic box office debut.

Interestingly, with a collection of Rs 9.35 crores, Superman has managed to beat Captain America: Brave New World on the second day of release. For the uninitiated, Captain America: Brave New World had minted Rs 4 crores on day 2 in India.

Also, it’s another great start for the summer box office, the second $100M+ opening after Lilo & Stitch ‘s $146M. Superman cost before P&A $225M net. Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel opened to $116.6M back in 2013, unadjusted for inflation.

Gunn had responded to the post, which issued a call to arms to “stand up and fight for SnyderVerse on July 11” (the release date of Superman). “Gunn fired the first shot and killed the SnyderVerse and here is our chance to take the fight back to him,” the post said.
