SUPERMAN Becomes First DC Film to Cross $300 Million Since THE BATMAN

In December 2018, the classic 1978 film Superman: The Movie officially crossed the $300 million mark at the domestic box office.

This milestone was achieved thanks to a 40th-anniversary theatrical re-release by Fathom Events, which brought the film back to theaters and pushed its total earnings over the threshold. The film, directed by Richard Donner and starring Christopher Reeve, had originally earned a hugely successful $134 million in its initial run.

The article emphasizes the movie's enduring legacy and its status as a groundbreaking blockbuster for its time, famously promising audiences, "You'll believe a man can fly." It also notes that when adjusted for inflation, the film's total gross is far higher, cementing its place as one of the most successful superhero films ever made.
