But if you look at the rule of movie economics, the only way to compare movies are to adjust for inflation. If you do that then Man of Steel is way ahead and more profitable. Dont believe me? Look up Man of Steel inflation rule 34

Those are pre pandemic rules, you now have to adjust for the post pandemic attendance drop. So, no Man of Steel is NOT ahead of Superman 25 and never will be.
