It was a good weekend for Superman as Rs. 25 crores milestone was comfortably crossed. The weekend is better than F1: The Movie, which has emerged as a ‘lambi race ka ghoda’ and lesser than Jurassic World: Rebirth, which has emerged as a quick-fire success. What matters though is that this is yet another good success from Hollywood in quick succession and for the exhibition circle this is great news as it keeps cinema-visiting habit intact amongst the audiences.

As a brand, Superman has been popular in the comic book scenario but as a movie, it didn’t really have any theatrical audience in India for the longest time. Yes, he is a superhero but that genre is totally dominated by Marvel movies and hence the success story that Superman has emerged as a cinematic experience in India is a first.

The film did start well with Rs. 7.24 crores coming on the first day and from this point on there was good growth on Saturday while Sunday stabilised. It wasn’t a meteoric rise though since an action film typically finds a good audience on the first day itself and then there is regular growth in days to come. The upwards trend was good enough to ensure Rs. 26.30 crores being collected by the close of first weekend. Yet again, it was the IMAX properties that brought in substantial moolah, what with majority of shows going houseful.
