It’s up, up and away for Warner Bros. and DC Studios‘ “Superman,” which got off the ground with $56.5 million across Friday and preview screenings in 4,135 theaters. That’s the second-biggest such figure for the calendar year, floating just behind “A Minecraft Movie” ($57.11 million) and ahead of “Lilo & Stitch” ($55.94 million).
