Superman

The Man of Steel is No. 1 with a bullet for making a mint and still giving kids the comic-book charge they crave.

As the legend goes, Superman is “faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.” Hey, that’s nothing compared to the crushing impact the Man of Steel had at the box office. The rebooted “Superman,” starring David Corenswet in the title role, soared to $125 million in its first weekend of release. That’s No. 1 with a bullet for the comic-book adventure.
