“Superman” will easily defeat last week’s box office champion, Universal’s “Jurassic World Rebirth,” which is looking to make $35 million to $45 million in its second weekend, a 50% to 60% from its debut.

James Gunn's Superman is already soaring high after its Thursday previews broke major three box office records.

But Hollywood will always have a place for the kind of good guy who delivers what Gunn, 58, can at the box office. Starting in 2014, he made three hugely popular films in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. Together, they earned $2.5bn. Now the chance has come for Gunn to put his stamp on Superman — the most super of all heroes.

The last solo Superman movie, 2013's Man of Steel, opened to $116 million domestically, while 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice made $166 million at the US box office over its opening weekend, breaking records for a Superman movie. Will Gunn's take on Big Blue match up?

James Gunn's Superman is expected to generate more than $200M in its global premier during the three-day weekend, according to a media reports on Friday.

Director James Gunn is understandably working overtime to manage expectations for the inaugural release from DC Studios, which he runs in tandem with producer Peter Safran.
