Superman, the latest reboot of the iconic DC Comics superhero, opened to a powerful start at the Nigerian box office, raking in N133.7 million in ticket sales during its debut weekend, one of the strongest openings in the country this year.
The film, written and directed by James Gunn, overtook (N111.9 million ) Captain America: Brave New World, which earned N108.1 million, for the title of the biggest opening weekend of 2025.
The performance is especially notable given that many cinemas in Lagos, a region that accounts for nearly 50% of national box office revenue, were closed until late Saturday afternoon due to local elections.
