James Gunn on 'Superman' Box Office & International Performance
The new 'Superman' movie, directed by James Gunn, is doing great in the US but not as well in other countries.
Gunn thinks this is because Superman isn't as famous everywhere as other superheroes.
He also mentioned that some people around the world might not like the US right now, which could affect how they see the movie.
Despite this, the movie is still making a lot of money overall.
This movie is the start of a new series of DC superhero movies that Gunn and his team are working on.
