With Superman out now, all eyes are on the new DC movie's opening weekend at the box office. Right now, it's on track to be one of the biggest openers of the year, but the exact figure is still up for debate.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, DC Studios predicts earnings of $100 million at the domestic box office, while industry tracking is more optimistic and pins the number at $130 million. The movie is also opening in 78 countries worldwide, where it's predicted to make another $100 million at the international box office.

The movie is already off to a good start with a positive critical and audience reception – it currently has a critics' score of 82% and an audience score of 95% on Rotten Tomatoes (our own Superman review gave the film four stars).
