It has been over 12 years since the Synderverse
Man of Steel it cinemas with Henry Cavill as
Superman and a lot has changed in the DC Cinematic Universe since then.
Superman from director and current DCEU boss James Gunn hits the top of the UK box office on its debut weekend with a solid nearly £7 Million weekend gross.
Compared to Man of Steel from 2013 this is lower with that movie taking £11 Million on its debut.
Comparing it to other Superman movies, its higher that the 2006 Bryan Singer movie Superman Returns which scraped in just over £4 Million and the classic 1978 Superman starring Christopher Reeves took just over a million on its debut which would be just over £4 Million adjusted for inflation - but cinema was very different back then.
Falling to number 2 this weekend after a single weekend at the top is Jurassic World: Rebirth which has taken over £19 Million after just 2 weekends in cinemas.
