Rebirth, the new blockbuster film, is shattering records at the worldwide box office. Starring Mahershala Ali and Scarlett Johansson, and directed by Gareth Edwards, the science fiction extravaganza has turned out to be an enormous crowd-puller.

The summer box office sizzles as Warner Bros.’ Superman and Universal’s Jurassic World Rebirth lead global ticket sales. Both blockbusters are drawing massive crowds, signaling strong momentum for Hollywood’s major franchises amid an increasingly competitive movie landscape.

The DC Universe's first major outing is setting a strong precedent, but it still tails 2016's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" in the week-to-week numbers.
