On Saturday, the James Gunn helmed flick grossed over $200 million mark at the North American box office after concluding Friday with a domestic haul of $194.4 million.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, globally it earned $337.2 million as it is expected to cross over $400 million in worldwide ticket sales.

The $225 million blockbuster from DC Studios and Warner Bros. shows no signs of slowing down in its second weekend, steamrolling past I Know What You Did Last Summer and Smurfs.

However, Superman faced a tough competition from Jurassic World Rebirth as it made its place safely on second spot heading for $275 million domestically.
