Audiences are reminding Hollywood that “In Gunn We Trust,” as James Gunn’s take on DC’s venerable “Superman,” the original superhero, proves to have plenty of gas in the tank.

I saw it with a pretty packed crowd for a 2pm Thursday matinee in America-beyond-the-Interstates, a sure indication it was opening well — $22.5 million Thursday afternoon and evening, over $56 million Thursday/Friday, per Deadline.com.

A robust Saturday set the table for a $122million opening weekend, as reported by The Numbers.

Gunn found an able actor to play the lighthearted, resilient Man of Steel, albeit a complete unknown with the less-than-catchy moniker David Corenswet. He let Nathan Fillion’s “Green Lantern” land laughs and paired-up Clark Kent/Superdooperman with Margot Kidder 2.0 Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and found fun in cub reporter Jimmy Olsen (Skyler Gisondo) as a reporter/playa.

Nicholas Hoult’s Musky Lex Luthor wasn’t overwhelming, with a vague “agenda” and a lot of “brains over brawn” cracks that fool no one and aren’t funny. And the plot is cluttered with characters and way too much fan service to suit many. I heard plenty of sighs of disappointment in the crowd I saw it with, and reviews have been less than overwhelming from the real movie critics over at Metacritic, myself included.

Conservative push-back about how “woke” it is to have a superhero immigrant (plenty of diversity, and immigrants and just plain foreigners that Superman wants to save, in this reboot) and an extremely unpopular president’s attempt to pass himself off as an undiapered tiny-fingered felon/rapist “Man” of Steel aren’t dampening the take.

Yeah, the memes are strong with this one.

However, it didn’t come close to weeks earlier projections of a $140 million opening.

“Jurassic World: Rebirth” is losing well over half its opening weekend take, but still adding another $40 million.

“F1”  cleared $13 million, and be over the $150 million mark, domestically, by next weekend. Best blockbuster in theaters. See it.

The “How to Train Your Dragon” remake tallied another $7.8 million and enjoys one more weekend in the top five.

“Elio” will definitely fall out of fifth place NEXT weekend, and the $3 million it takes in this weekend points to it petering out in the $75 million range, maybe a tad more, by the time it finishes its run.

“28 Years Later” falls to sixth, the year’s biggest hit “Lilo & Stitch” slides to seventh.

“Mission: Impossible,” “M3GAN 2.0” and “Materialists” round out the top ten.
