twenty nine million dollars, and then Fantastic for the First Steps,
The Bad Guys Too, and The Naked Gun rounded out
the top five.

happy with that.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
It's not great to make more and be the big
movie of the weekend. I think, yeah, that's a that's
a that was a big movie back that I thought

and thirty one million dollars at the box office, surpassing
Henry Cavill's three hundred and thirty million dollar records. So

has also beat Marvel's Thunderbolts, Captain America, The Brave New World,

(01:29):
and Deadpool too.

like six hundred million. Yeah, and I like, I figure
the money is money's money, right. I think you're right.

why that movie is surpassing all the others because it
was good because of the review that Superman has heart. Oh,

to reclaim copyrights and the music company responded by halting
the promotion and streaming of their songs in the US.
