On This Date, 'Superman' Will Likely Debut On HBO Max
Superman is set to be available for streaming on HBO Max after its theater release, likely by late September.
The new Superman film directed by James Gunn is currently showing in theaters, but a release date for HBO Max has not yet been officially confirmed. Nevertheless, based on prior releases from Warner Bros., we can make a good estimate of when the film will be available for streaming.
Earlier this year, Warner Bros. released Minecraft and Sinners, both of which became available on HBO Max 77 days after their theatrical releases. If this pattern holds true, Superman could be streaming on HBO Max starting September 26.
Since Warner Bros. has already applied this release interval twice in 2025, it is highly likely that Superman will follow this schedule. This means the film would be digitally available approximately two and a half months after its theatrical premiere.
While we still need to wait for an official announcement, September 26 seems like a reasonable date. Once Warner Bros. or HBO Max confirms this, it will undoubtedly be widely shared through official channels.
Both Minecraft and Sinners have proven to be financial successes at the global box office. Superman is also performing well, having grossed around $220 million worldwide after its opening weekend, nearly equivalent to its production budget.
The box office score is already higher than the total earnings of DC films such as Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman 1984, The Suicide Squad, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, and Blue Beetle. Whether the 2025 film will match the earnings of Man of Steel is still uncertain. That film grossed $670.1 million in 2013.
