While domestic and overall global box office make "Superman" a summer hit, the DC superhero is struggling in some territories to fly in below international expectations.

Superman,” the newly rebooted comic book adventure starring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, flew to $122 million in its first weekend of release. Those are strong ticket sales, enough to rank as the year’s third-largest debut after “A Minecraft Movie” ($162 million) and “Lilo & Stitch” ($146 million).

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