After three decades, Warner Bros. has successfully resurrected its Superman franchise with Zack Snyder‘s darker, more violent take on the marquee superhero. Man of Steel, directed by Snyder and produced by Christopher Nolan, debuted to $113.1 million over Father’s Day weekend in North America and to $71.6 million from 24 markets overseas for a total opening of $196.7 million. That includes the $12 million grossed Thursday night from special Walmart screenings in the U.S., which puts the domestic take at $125.1 million.
