Superman swooped into theaters last weekend, but is the first DC Studios movie a bona fide hit for the newly launched DCU franchise or just another superhero movie that's barely meeting expectations?

First Steps debuting alongside Superman‘s ongoing run, the box office now sees two major superhero titles driving summer totals. While First Steps opened slightly below Superman domestically and globally,

First Steps has grossed $218 million for its global opening, which is 11 percent ahead of Superman's global opening two weeks ago, according to Deadline. This is slightly above expectations, and is the strongest opening for a Marvel Studios movie this year.
