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.

Those ticket sales include $171.8 million overseas and $235 million from the North American market. Turnout remains softer than expected at the international box office, where “Superman” added $45.2 million in its second weekend.

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.
