James Gunn has officially announced the digital release date for Superman (2025), just as Warner Bros. confirmed the film’s record-breaking performance at the US box office.
The DC reboot, directed by Gunn,
has become the highest-grossing Superman film ever in the United States, grossing over $331 million domestically and $581.1 million worldwide, according to IMDb. The movie has now completed a month in theaters and is still drawing audiences, but fans will soon be able to watch it from the comfort of their homes.
Superman Digital Release Date and Platforms
Taking to social media platform X, Gunn wrote: “#Superman is coming to your homes this Friday, 8/15. Available now for pre-order. Or catch it while it’s still in theaters!”
According to The Wrap, starting August 15, Superman (2025) will be available on streaming platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. Fans who prefer a physical copy can mark their calendars for September 23, when the 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD editions will hit stores.
Despite its massive success in the US, Gunn admitted that the film underperformed internationally, attributing it to Superman’s relatively lower global popularity compared to Batman and “a certain amount of anti-American sentiment around the world.”
Box Office Triumph and What’s Next
Warner Bros. confirmed to IGN that Superman has overtaken all previous entries in the franchise to claim the top spot in US box office history for the character. The film also holds the title for the highest-grossing superhero release of the year domestically.
Gunn’s reboot focuses on a fresh interpretation of the Man of Steel, aiming to reinvigorate the DC Universe’s cinematic future. With Superman’s strong domestic reception and upcoming home release, fans who missed it in theaters will soon get their chance to experience the new chapter.
Whether streaming on August 15 or waiting for the Blu-ray on September 23, Gunn’s Superman is set to reach an even wider audience in the weeks ahead.
