Superman is faster than a speeding bullet -- and a Formula One car. After becoming the first comic book movie this year to cross $600 million at the global box office, Superman overtook Brad Pitt vehicle F1: The Movie in a photo finish over the weekend. While Netflix took the No. 1 spot with the KPop Demon Hunters Sing-Along Event (an estimated $18 million from 1,700 theaters), Superman and F1 both reached major milestones after their respective seven and nine-week run in theaters.

James Gunn's Superman grossed another $3.43 million over the weekend, bringing its domestic cume to $346.9 million and its global cume to $604.4 million. Joseph Kosinski's F1 added $1.8 million to its $185.9 million domestic haul and has sped past $603.4 million at the worldwide box office.

Superman has fared better domestically at $347 million to F1's $186 million, but overseas, F1's $417.5 million has left Superman's $257.5 million in the dust. That makes the sports-racing drama Pitt's highest-grossing movie ever, having surpassed the $531.8 million that his zombie blockbuster World War Z made worldwide in the summer of 2013. (Perhaps not coincidentally, Paramount Skydance has since announced a World War Z sequel.)

"We're definitely performing better domestically than we are internationally," Gunn, the writer-director of Superman and co-head of DC Studios, told Rolling Stone in July. "But internationally is also rising and having really good weekday numbers in the same way we are. So obviously the word of mouth is very positive both here and everywhere else. Which is the thing that we needed to do the most. At the same time, there are certain countries in which it's really performing well. Brazil and the U.K."

He continued, "Superman is not a known commodity in some places. He is not a big known superhero in some places like Batman is. That affects things. And it also affects things that we have a certain amount of anti-American sentiment around the world right now. It isn't really helping us. So I think it's just a matter of letting something grow. But again, for us, everything's been a total win. Having the movie come out and be something that has been embraced by people everywhere -- this is just the seed of the tree that Peter [Safran] and I have been watering for the past three years. So to be able to have it start off so positively has been incredibly overwhelming."
