Not sure how much that matters, It's already exceeded $100M in profit minus the production costs while many movies are losing money.

Almost every single movie on that list is a sequel.
People are going out for big "event" movies they want to see. They want to go out, go to the theater, have the conversation and listen to the pods/YouTube videos about them. This "post covid theater" stuff means nothing for tentpole movies like that list, ageed.

Idk why y'all can't be real about it
This movie performed like it did globally because of other countries ' desire (or lack of) to see American films right now, and (much more importantly) a lack of trust of Superman as a character and people not sure of the tonal change.
That's the difference between 600MM and 1B or so.

I know you're replying to Chicago but that underscores my point:
The rest of that list has goodwill Superman lacked prior to release. Superman 2 will probably crush. People like knowing what they're getting into.

Yeah I agree and I pointed this out because 'Batman Begins' was not a huge hit. 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' was not a huge hit (it did very well but at the time any big movie was doing a billion and it did $800M). Also, 'The Amazing Spider-Man' was not a huge hit, really.
Often times the first movie of a new iteration of the character is going to have to sell people on it.

Deadpool and wolverine was the third movie in a trilogy with each movie doing better.
NOPE ...
THESE EXCUSES
DONT WORK WITH INFLATION
DEADPOOL JUST DID 1.34 BILLY
A YEAR AGO
WHILE SUPERMAN ISNT
GOING TO DO HALF OF THAT
Only Aquaman has started off hitting a billion

With VOD coming next week, I dont think it reaches 600M, still good BO run though 
WHY DO YOU KEEPHARPING ON THESE MOVIES
WHILE IGNORING THE BATMAN
THAT WAS A COMPLETE REBOOT IN 2022?
YOUR ARGUMENT DOESN'T WORK
NO ONE SAID THIS MOVIE SHOULD
DO A BILLY....
DP1 DID $782,837,347
THATS 1.5 B IN 2025

I DIDN'T SEE ANYONE
IN HERE SAY FAILING TO HIT
600MS WOULD STILL BE A GOOD NUMBER
FOR THIS MOVIE A MONTH AGO
Once again, that's a different era. The 2010s were the peak of superhero movie popularity (especially 2016-2019). We're not in that era anymore.

Also, the first Deadpool movie was NOT expected to gross that much. It was a surprise hit, and Ryan Reynolds pretty much did everything he could to promote the movie and hype it up.
YOU SAYING A WHOLE LOTTA NOTHING.
ADJUSTED DP1 DID 1.5 BILLY PERIOD.
SUPERMAN WONT EVEN DO
40% OF THAT.
LESS THAN 600MS FOR SUPERMAN
IS NOT A GOOD RUN.
THE BATMAN REBOOT JUST DID 772
