Despite Warner Bros. Discovery ultimately being split into two companies, CEO David Zaslav can celebrate a big win this weekend with DC Studios' Superman.

"Superman," written and directed by James Gunn, brings Clark Kent and his superhero alter ego back to the silver screen.

To underwear or not to underwear, or how to underwear, has been a focal point of virtually every Superman production. In the last big “Superman” adaptation, filmmaker Zach Snyder did away with the trunks, which he said he couldn’t make “cool.”

That breakdown includes $95 million overseas and $122 million domestically. Attendance was slightly softer than expected at the international box office, though box office watchers believe that’s partially due to Superman’s deeply patriotic roots. His motto, after all, is “Truth, justice and the American way.”

DC and Warner Bros. had a lot riding on “Superman.” While the Walt Disney Co.’s Marvel Studios has had its own share of struggles, the superheroes of DC have recently found mostly kryptonite in theaters.

"Superman" soared into theaters this weekend, snapping up an estimated $122 million in domestic ticket sales and launching a new era of DC superhero flicks.

Directed by James Gunn, the superhero pic appears to be succeeding in rebooting both the Warner Bros.-owned DC and its most prized comic book film franchise.

Man’s best (super)friend has prime placement in the new “Superman” movie, and the pooch’s path to the cinematic spotlight may be worth a movie itself.
