Theatres saw a diverse mix of stories and genres this weekend as Superman, Maalik, and Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan released on July 11, 2025. With each film offering something unique, action-packed heroism, intense drama, and heartfelt romance, audiences had plenty to choose from.

DC Studios films have struggled to connect with audiences in recent years, prompting the studio to shake up leadership and reboot the DC film franchise.

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.
