Despite Warner Bros. Discovery ultimately being split into two companies, CEO David Zaslav can celebrate a big win this weekend with DC Studios' Superman.

James Gunn's "Superman" soared to the top of the box office this weekend, notching a win for Warner Bros. and DC Studios, which see the film as a way to revive the entire DC universe.

Directed by James Gunn, the superhero pic appears to be succeeding in rebooting both the Warner Bros.-owned DC and its most prized comic book film franchise.

Also at the multiplex is “Eddington,” a dark comedy billed as a contemporary Western starring Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone and Pedro Pascal. On the family-friendly front is the animated “Smurfs,” featuring the voices of Rihanna, James Corden and Nick Offerman.
