On Thursday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades involving Tempus AI Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>), Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>), and Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>).
The Tempus AI Trade saw Ark Invest making a notable acquisition of shares in the healthcare AI company. The trades were executed through the ARK Genomic Revolution ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKG#BATS">ARKG</a>) and ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>). Ark added a total of 16,277 shares of Tempus AI, with 2,233 shares purchased by ARKG and 14,044 shares by ARKK. This move comes amid ongoing criticism from CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer, who has repeatedly questioned the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46354006/cathie-wood-vs-jim-cramer-tv-host-says-top-ark-ai-pick-losing-money-hand-over-fist">profitability of Tempus AI</a> in 2025. Despite the skepticism, Tempus AI&#8217;s first-quarter financial results were promising, with revenue reaching $255.74 million, exceeding estimates. The total value of Ark&#8217;s purchase on this day was nearly $970,109, based on the stock&#8217;s closing price of $59.60.
Notably, on Wednesday, Ark had purchased Tempus shares worth $8.8 million.
The Coinbase Trade involved Ark Invest selling 16,627 shares of the cryptocurrency-trading platform through the ARKK ETF. This decision aligns with concerns over a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/downgrades/25/07/46349905/why-coinbases-huge-rally-might-be-done">potential decline in crypto trading activity</a>, which could impact Coinbase&#8217;s stock performance. As Coinbase approaches its second-quarter earnings report, market analysts are cautious about the company&#8217;s ability to meet expectations. The total value of the shares sold was $6.5 million, based on the stock&#8217;s closing price of $388.96.
The Robinhood Trade included the sale of 58,504 shares of the retail-oriented trading platform via the ARKK ETF. This comes after Robinhood&#8217;s recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46351536/you-can-stake-ethereum-solana-on-robinhood-but-is-it-worth-the-25-cut">introduction of staking services</a> for Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), allowing users to earn rewards by contributing their crypto holdings. The total value of the shares sold was $5.8 million. The stock ended the day at $98.7 on Thursday.
The Block Trade saw Ark Invest offloading 24,780 shares of the Jack Dorsey-led company through the ARKK ETF. This move follows a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/07/46334675/cathie-wood-dumps-jack-dorseys-block-as-bitcoin-flirts-with-all-time-highs-bets-8-8-million-on-tempus-ai">previous significant sale</a> of Block shares on Wednesday as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) neared all-time highs. That trade was worth $6.6 million.
Ark&#8217;s decision to reduce its stake in Block could be construed as a shift in focus towards other investment opportunities. The total value of the shares sold was $1.7 million. Block stock ended the day $68.76.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investors Are Digging Into Industrial, Insurance And Grocery Stocks</h2>
Plenty of Reddit users responded with names most mainstream investors overlook. These weren't meme stocks or hot IPOs, but legacy industrials, auto parts retailers, and HVAC firms.
&#8220;Before the most recent sell-off Berkshire was at 194% in 5 years,&#8221; one investor noted about Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>, BRK.B)). &#8220;Sitting at 165% right now. Better than all the Mag 7 except Nvidia and Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>). Boring as hell and doing rock solid.&#8221;
Several mentioned Parker-Hannifin (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PH#NYSE">PH</a>), which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/07/46255383/1000-invested-in-parker-hannifin-10-years-ago-would-be-worth-this-much-today">specializes in motion and control technologies</a>. Others highlighted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/07/46226856/heres-how-much-100-invested-in-ingersoll-rand-5-years-ago-would-be-worth-today">Ingersoll Rand</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IR#NYSE">IR</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/25/07/46209128/breaking-down-eaton-corp-16-analysts-share-their-views">Eaton Corp.</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETN#NYSE">ETN</a>), and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/25/07/46210208/breaking-down-trane-technologies-11-analysts-share-their-views">Trane Technologies</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TT#NYSE">TT</a>) as industrials that quietly beat the S&amp;P 500 over long periods.
One user summed up the appeal by asking: &#8220;How many people on the planet took a sh&#x2A;t this morning, and/or turned on the heat or AC?&#8221; The message: boring businesses that keep infrastructure running are everywhere, and often profitable.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
Another favorite was Comfort Systems USA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIX#NYSE">FIX</a>), which installs HVAC systems. One investor called it &#8220;very well-performing&#8221; and compared it to IES Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IESC#NASDAQ">IESC</a>), which has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/06/46009433/100-invested-in-ies-hldgs-10-years-ago-would-be-worth-this-much-today">outperformed the market</a> over the past 10 years by 32.69% on an annualized basis, producing an average annual return of 43.61%.
Comfort Systems itself has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/06/45895599/heres-how-much-you-would-have-made-owning-comfort-systems-usa-stock-in-the-last-5-years">outperformed the market</a> over the past five years by more than 51% on an annualized basis, producing an average annual return of 65.31%.
&#8220;I inherited FIX which had done VERY well,&#8221; one user said. &#8220;But I sold it for very petty and personal reasons lol.&#8221;
Casey's General Stores (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CASY#NASDAQ">CASY</a>), a convenience store chain with more than 2,900 locations, was called out as a quiet outperformer. One Reddit investor wrote: &#8220;It has a better 5-year return than Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and it pays a dividend.&#8221;
Fair Isaac Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FICO#NYSE">FICO</a>), the company behind FICO credit scores, was another standout. It has soared 352% over the last five years.
AutoZone (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) and O&#8217;Reilly Automotive (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORLY#NASDAQ">ORLY</a>) also earned praise for delivering steady gains while operating in a no-glamour sector.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Canadian And European Names Enter The Chat</h2>
Dollarama, Canada's version of Dollar Tree (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>), has surged over 300% in the past five years. Nutrien, the world&#8217;s top potash supplier, is up 92% over that span.
Some mentioned European companies like Rheinmetall, a German <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/03/44235106/6-defense-stocks-to-watch-after-trump-halts-weapons-shipments-to-ukraine">defense stock</a> up 2,200% in five years. Others nodded to Fairfax Financial, a Canadian insurer with a 500% return in five years.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Steady Can Still Win</h2>
While the tech crowd continues to ride waves of speculation, some long-term investors are betting on plumbing, autoparts, fertilizer, and insurance. As one investor in the thread put it, &#8220;Unless we have Armageddon tomorrow, yes, absolutely&#8221; these companies are still worth buying.

President Trump Says U.S. Will Impose 35% Tariff On Canada

Lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who has represented President Donald Trump in an impeachment trial, has asserted that he possesses knowledge of the names included in the Jeffrey Epstein files. However, he is bound by confidentiality and cannot disclose them.
What Happened: Dershowitz revealed this information during his appearance on &#8220;The Sean Spicer Show&#8221; on Thursday, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5395597-dershowitz-says-he-knows-epstein-client-list-names-but-im-bound-by-confidentiality/">reported</a> The Hill. 
He stated, &#8220;I know the names of the individuals. I know why they're being suppressed. I know who's suppressing them,&#8221; but clarified that he is bound by a judge&#8217;s confidentiality order and cannot disclose what he knows.
Earlier this year, the Trump administration had promised&nbsp;to release the documents and&nbsp;names of individuals associated with Epstein's inner circle. However, the White House continues to assert that there is no &#8220;client list&#8221;, a claim that has been met with skepticism.

Lawyer Sigrid McCawley, who is representing several Epstein victims in their civil cases, has criticized the government for withholding a &#8220;treasure trove of information&#8221; related to Epstein and his co-conspirators. Dershowitz echoed this sentiment, stating that the list is being withheld to &#8220;protect&#8221; those involved with Epstein's crimes.
Why It Matters: This development comes in the wake of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45828121/elon-musks-bombshell-about-donald-trump-in-epstein-docs-heres-the-truth-behind-the-claim">Elon Musk&#8217;s controversial claim</a> in June about Trump&#8217;s connection to the undisclosed Epstein files, which sparked a political uproar. Musk, however, did not provide any supporting evidence for his claim.
Subsequently, this month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46270547/elon-musk-reignites-jeffrey-epstein-client-list-row-adding-fuel-to-the-feud-with-trump">Musk reignited the debate</a> surrounding the Epstein client list, escalating his feud with Trump. This was in response to the lack of arrests in the Epstein case, which Musk expressed his discontentment about on social media.

If You Invested $100 In This Stock 10 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

Warren Buffett is worth over $145 billion, runs one of the largest conglomerates in the world, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40971688/warren-buffett-owns-28b-in-coca-cola-stock-and-drinks-5-cans-a-day-i-dont-think-the-prostate-can">drinks five Cherry Cokes a day</a> — but, according to his daughter, he's never touched a sip of water. Ever.
And while it's well known that Buffett has never had an alcoholic drink in his life, what's less expected is that this 94-year-old billionaire has no problem investing in both alcohol and water companies — despite steering clear of both on a personal level.
"I've never in my life — and I'm not kidding — seen the man drink a sip of water," his daughter <a href="https://youtu.be/w-eX4sZi-Zs?si=Nc59LbFeXLIcX5Wm">Susie Buffett said in the 2009 documentary</a>, "The World&#8217;s Greatest Money Maker: Warren Buffett."

</ul>
Nearly a decade later, in the <a href="https://youtu.be/i45_qjgFmxg?si=O1WagnxCDyPF9_cp">2017 HBO documentary "Becoming Warren Buffett</a>," she doubled down: "He doesn't drink water. He doesn't do anything he's supposed to do. And he's healthy."
When asked about alcohol in various interviews, Buffett has been consistent: he's never had a drink. As <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/analysis-and-features/warren-buffet-the-secret-of-the-billionaire-s-success-1622649.html">The UK Independent</a> noted, Buffett has never smoked or consumed alcohol and said he avoids both to protect his health.
During a Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder meeting years ago, he once explained the logic using one of his signature metaphors:
Imagine you're 16 years old and a genie gives you any car you want, he told students — but warns it's the only car you'll ever own.
"Now, if you're smart, you'll take care of that car," Buffett said. "Well, you only get one body and one mind — and it has to last a lifetime."
Trending: The secret weapon in billionaire investor portfolios that you almost certainly don't own yet. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">See which asset class has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 (1995-2024) – and with near-zero correlation.</a>
That mindset might help explain how Buffett's made it to 94 with a sugar-heavy diet and a zero-water, zero-alcohol policy — but when it comes to his investments, it's a different story entirely.
In late 2024, Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway invested $1.24 billion in Constellation Brands, the parent company of Corona beer, Modelo, and Robert Mondavi wines. By early this year, the position more than doubled, making it one of Berkshire's biggest bets in the consumer goods space. The company now owns more than 6.6% of Constellation.
Berkshire has also long held a position in the water industry. Through its Marmon Group, Berkshire owns EcoWater Systems, which produces residential and commercial water treatment products. Berkshire was also the second-largest shareholder of Nalco, a major water-treatment chemical firm, before it merged into Ecolab.
Fellow billionaire Bill Gates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/education/25/07/46265960/elon-musk-and-bill-gates-share-a-surprising-view-on-alcohol#">has a similar stance.</a> While he's said he's "not a big beer drinker," he's still invested heavily in the alcohol industry.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mark-cubans-advice-for-lotto-winners">Many are surprised by Mark Cuban's advice for lotto winners: Cash or annuity?</a>
In a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/80ow6w/im_bill_gates_cochair_of_the_bill_melinda_gates/">2018 Reddit AMA</a>, Gates admitted:
"I am not a big beer drinker. When I end up at something like a baseball game I'll drink light beer to get with the vibe."&nbsp;
Despite that, in February 2023, Gates' trust and personal accounts co-purchased a <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-02-22/billionaire-gates-buys-stake-in-heineken-s-controlling-holder">$902 million stake</a> in Heineken Holding—the parent company of Heineken beer.&nbsp;
So why the disconnect between personal lifestyle and portfolio strategy?
Well, as Buffett himself once said in a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/26/buffett-says-out-of-the-three-ways-to-go-broke-liquor-ladies-and-leverage-leverage-is-the-worst.html">2018 CNBC interview</a>:
"My partner Charlie says there are only three ways a smart person can go broke: liquor, ladies, and leverage."
Buffett's avoided all three in his personal life. But in the markets? He knows opportunity when he sees it — even if he wouldn't drink to it

If You Invested $100 In This Stock 5 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

Shares of Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer S.A. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERJ#NYSE">ERJ</a>) dropped on Thursday after President Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 50% tariff on all<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/07/46350703/airline-stocks-surge-trump-tariffs-hit-brazil"> imports from Brazil. </a>
As the world's third-largest aircraft maker, Embraer relies heavily on the U.S. market for both its executive jets and regional airliners, making it particularly vulnerable to the proposed trade measures.

What To Know: In response, Embraer stated it is assessing how the tariffs might affect its business and plans to provide more details during its second-quarter earnings call on Aug. 5. The company also mentioned it is working with authorities to try to reinstate a zero import tax rate for the aerospace sector, according to Reuters. 
According to analysts at Itau BBA, 60% of Embraer's revenue comes from North America, and about three-quarters of that could be subject to the new tariffs.&nbsp;
They estimate the tariffs could reduce Embraer's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) by $150 million between August and December, Reuters reported.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: Aircraft are among the top U.S. imports from Brazil, alongside products like oil, steel, coffee and orange juice.&nbsp;
Embraer's E1 jets are a mainstay of U.S. regional airlines, with SkyWest recently ordering 60 E175 aircraft. The company also enjoys strong demand for its business jets in the U.S.
In February, Embraer Executive Jets entered into a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43496469/aircraft-manufacturer-embraer-bags-7b-order-stocks-surge">major purchase agreement </a>with Flexjet valued at up to $7 billion. The deal included a firm order for 182 aircraft, along with 30 additional options, and features an upgraded package of services and support.&nbsp;
Despite the recent drop, Embraer's shares are still up more than 30% for the year, following a 150% surge last year. Earlier this month, the stock reached a record high, driven by strong global demand for its aircraft.

Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) delivered a jolt of optimism to Wall Street Thursday, as its stock surged 12% after the company reported better-than-expected second-quarter earnings and reinstated its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46341383/delta-air-lines-ceo-confident-in-stronger-2025-as-demand-holds-steady">full-year profit outlook.</a>&nbsp;
The rally led airline stocks higher across the board with investor confidence returning to the sector.&nbsp;
The Details: Delta reported adjusted earnings of $2.10 per share, topping expectations of $2.05.&nbsp;
Passenger revenue surged 26% to $13.88 billion and operating revenue for the quarter was $16.65 billion, above the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">consensus estimate</a> of $16.18 billion.&nbsp;

CEO Ed Bastian told analysts on a conference call Thursday that Delta's premium and loyalty segments continue to show resilience and growth and helped to offset some lingering softness in the main cabin.&nbsp;
"Our core consumer is in good shape and continues to prioritize travel and affinity for Delta's brand has never been stronger," Bastian said.&nbsp;
"This is evidenced by the sustained strength of our premium products and our industry-leading co-brand card with consumer spend growth on the Delta American Express card up double digits in the first half of the year," the CEO added.  
Bastian also said he expects the passage of Trump's tax and spending bill and progress on trade negotiations to restore some economic certainty and stability.&nbsp;
"We expect both consumer and corporate confidence to improve in the second half of the year, creating the environment for travel demand to accelerate," Bastian said on Delta's earnings call.&nbsp;
What Else: Other airline stocks moved higher in sympathy with Delta as investor confidence in the sector grew following the stronger-than-expected earnings report.&nbsp;
Shares of United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) ended Thursday's session 14.3% higher and American Airlines Group Inc.

Delta Air Lines Weathers The Storm: CEO Expects 'Demand To Accelerate' To Wrap 2025

Trading in Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is quiet on Thursday. The stock has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46337313/apple-needs-product-focused-ceo-say-analysts-as-tim-cook-faces-heat-over-ai-failures-and-innovation-slump">not participated</a> in the recent broad market rally. While NVIDIA Corp&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) have soared to all-time highs, Apple has lagged.
But now there&#8217;s a chance Apple could be about to put some downward pressure on the market. This is why it is the Stock of the Day.
Despite its lackluster performance, Apple is still the third-largest stock in the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>): Nvidia is 14.88%, Microsoft makes up 14.02%, and Apple is 11.81%. This means that the direction of Apple's stock can still have a significant impact on others within the technology sector.
As you can see on the chart, Apple once again found resistance around the $213 level for the third time since May. The last two times this happened, a meaningful sell-off followed.

Stocks frequently reverse and sell off after hitting a resistance level.
Resistance is a large group of traders and investors who wish to sell shares at, or close to, the same level. There are enough or more than enough sell orders to fill all of the buy orders. This is why rallies end, or at least pause, when this is reached.
Stocks can sell off of resistance when some traders and investors, who wish to sell, become anxious. They know the buyers will go to whoever is willing to sell them shares at the lowest price.
These anxious sellers worry that another seller will undercut them. As a result, they reduce their offer prices. Other anxious sellers see this and do the same thing. It can turn into a snowball effect that forces the price lower.
There is a good chance that Apple is about to sell off of this resistance for a third time. This could put downward pressure on the technology sector. And that could put downward pressure on the broader market.

Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) has high hopes for its "Superman" reboot film, set for theaters this weekend. The film has been<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/12/30116813/its-a-bird-its-a-plane-its-a-superhero-movie-franchise-rebrand-that-could-help-this-stock" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> years in the making</a> and is a potential relaunch of the DC Comics movie universe, but one former Superman actor is crying foul over the plot.
What Happened: Director James Gunn was announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/02/30678077/its-a-bird-its-a-plane-its-dc-comics-new-movies-tv-shows-announced">as the man behind </a>the "Superman" reboot years ago and the man tasked with helping turn DC Comics&#8217; film and TV strategy around.
Gunn's new superhero film is being called "woke" by actor Dean Cain, who famously played Superman in the TV show "Lois &amp; Clark" from 1993 to 1997.
"How woke is Hollywood going to make this character?" Cain told <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2025/07/09/superman-dean-cain-immigrant-controversy/">TMZ</a>. "How much is Disney going to change their Snow White? Why are they going to change their characters (to) exist for the times?"
Cain's comments, reported by <a href="https://variety.com/2025/film/news/dean-cain-superman-woke-maga-backlash-immigrant-1236451732/">Variety</a>, come after Gunn shared that Superman is an "immigrant that came from other places and populated the country" in the film, adding that the film represents "the story of America."
"For Superman, it was ‘truth, justice, and the American way.' Well, they dropped that…They came up with ‘truth, justice, and a better tomorrow.' Changing beloved characters I don't think is a great idea. If you want to create a new character go ahead and do that," Cain also said.
Cain went on to criticize America's immigration policies.
"There have to be limits, because we can't have everybody in the United States. We can't have everybody, society will fail. So there have to be limits."
Cain's not the only one speaking out about the film's plot line, in which Superman is portrayed as an immigrant.
Fox News recently referred to the film as "SuperWoke."
Fox News contributor Kellyanne Conway criticized the film&#8217;s plot line.
"We don't go to the movie theater to be lectured to and to have somebody throw their ideology onto us," Conway said.
Gunn has brushed off the criticism ahead of the film's July 11 release, telling Variety he doesn't have "anything to say to anybody" spreading hate about his film.
"I think this is a movie about kindness and I think that's something everyone can relate to," Gunn said.

Why It's Important: The potential boycott of the film by Republicans and public criticism from a former Superman actor could end up hurting the film's box office.
"I think it was a mistake by James Gunn to say it's an immigrant thing, and I think it's going to hurt the numbers on the movie," Cain said.
The film is expected to gross $120 million to $130 million domestically in its opening weekend, according to <a href="https://variety.com/2025/film/box-office/superman-box-office-opening-weekend-projection-1236448799/">Variety</a>. The studio has been more conservative with estimates saying it expects $100 million to $110 million.
Early positive reactions from critics and fans could also take the film past $140 million domestically, according to the report. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an 82% rating from critics and a 96% rating from early viewers of the film.
The "Superman" film had a $225 million production budget and could also gross $100 million in international markets in its opening weekend.
The last standalone Superman film was "Man of Steel" in 2013. That film <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/franchise/fr340233989/?ref_=bo_frs_table_6">grossed </a>$291.0 million domestically with an opening domestic weekend total of $116.6 million. The last film featuring Superman was Justice League, released in 2017, which grossed $229.0 million domestically and opened with $93.8 million.
The best recent Superman film performance is 2016's "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice." That film grossed $330.4 million domestically and opened to a $166.0 million domestic total.
WBD Price Action: Warner Bros. Discovery shares were up 1.4% to $11.65 on Thursday versus a 52-week trading range of $6.64 to $12.76. Warner Bros. stock is up 9.3% year-to-date in 2025.
