Superman Movies Ranked By Box Office, Adjusted For Inflation

Summary

• Superman IV: The Quest for Peace is the lowest-grossing Superman movie even when adjusted for inflation, thanks to its poor critical reception.
• Superman III, Superman Returns, and Superman II all performed better at the box office than Superman IV: The Quest for Peace when adjusted for inflation.
• Man of Steel, the DCEU's reboot of Superman, holds the highest box office total for a Superman movie but comes second to 1978's Superman when adjusted for inflation.

The many Superman movies have had varying degrees of success at the box office, but how do they rank among one another when adjusted for inflation? The box office performance of Superman movies has often been at the forefront of superhero cinema. Richard Donner's Superman arguably kickstarted the so-called Golden Age of superhero movies, while franchises like the DCEU positioned the Man of Steel at the center of a sprawling franchise.
Even upcoming DC movies will have Superman be incredibly important, with James Gunn's 2025 Superman hopefully performing well commercially to truly kickstart the new franchise. Regardless of how Superman movies have been ranked concerning quality, box office performance has always been studied. Interestingly, though, box office receipts are rarely adjusted for inflation, begging the question of how each Superman movie performed comparatively when placed on an even playing field.
The following list consists only of live-action Superman movies from Richard Donner's 1978 Superman and onwards.
