Fez — The Man of Steel is back in force. The latest Superman installment from Warner Bros. and DC Studios has soared to the top of the North American box office, earning $57.3 million (MAD 515 million) over the weekend, according to estimates from Exhibitor Relations.
Supported by positive critical reception and strong audience turnout, the high-budget superhero film has now grossed over $400 million (MAD 3.6 billion) globally—$235 million (MAD 2.1 billion) in North America and $171 million (MAD 1.54 billion) internationally—less than two weeks after its release.
Directed by an acclaimed new voice in the franchise, James Gunn, the reboot has been praised for its balance of action, emotional depth, and visual spectacle.
Analysts credit the film’s success to a refreshed narrative and an engaging lead performance, which helped breathe new life into the iconic character at a time when superhero fatigue has weighed on some box office returns.
Trailing in second place is “Jurassic World: Renaissance,” the latest chapter in the long-running dinosaur saga. The sci-fi adventure generated $23.4 million (MAD 211 million) over the weekend.
Set in a remote research facility hidden on the original Jurassic Park island, the film reintroduces genetically engineered dinosaurs and a new generation of characters navigating prehistoric chaos. While not as dominant as previous installments, it continues to draw steady audiences.
In third is “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” a sequel to the 1990s slasher classic. Despite decades of anticipation, the film opened to a modest $13 million (MAD 117 million), with mixed reviews and commentary from analysts.
Fourth place went to “The Smurfs – The Movie,” which earned $11 million (MAD 99 million) thanks in part to pop icon Rihanna voicing Smurfette. The animated feature continues the family-friendly franchise’s global run.
Its success reflects the enduring appeal of animated classics reimagined for a new generation. By blending nostalgia with celebrity voice talent and vibrant visuals, the film has managed to stay relevant in a competitive box office environment.
“Brad Pitt’s F1”, portraying an aging Formula 1 driver returning to the circuit, came in fifth with $9.6 million (MAD 86 million).
With upcoming titles like “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”—starring Pedro Pascal—hitting theaters soon, the summer lineup remains strong.
