- A brief look at reception and why the title generated lots of discussion.
What the milestone is
In short, the film reached the Two Million Watched club — meaning it has been watched and logged by over two million Letterboxd users. The milestone was reached in 45 days, which is notably faster than Greta Gerwig’s 2023 Barbie, which reached the same mark in 104 days. At the time of writing, Letterboxd shows 2,023,506 logs for Superman.
Why Letterboxd matters here
Letterboxd is a social film site often described as “Goodreads, but about movies.” It lets users rate, list, and discuss films, so high log counts usually mean a title is being widely discussed and revisited. Consequently, a fast climb to two million logs points to strong engagement beyond box office receipts.
Site growth and scale
Furthermore, Letterboxd itself has been growing quickly. As summarized by Variety in early Jan. 2025, the film review site had “grown from 1.8 million to 17 million users in four years.” Also, the platform reported large increases in logged films, which helps explain how modern hits can rack up big numbers fast.
What this suggests about Superman
The numbers show strong audience interest and conversation. While the movie has been described as somewhat polarizing, the rapid logging rate indicates many viewers are watching, rating, and talking about it. In other words, the film is not just selling tickets; it’s generating sustained online engagement.
