Man of Steel pulled in some big numbers at the box office over its opening weekend.

The movie, directed by Zack Snyder, brought in approximately $113 million in domestic sales, as reported by CNN.

These numbers do not include the $12 million the movie also collected from Walmart's advanced screenings on Thursday.

Combining both those sales, Man of Steel collected around $125 million making it the second biggest movie debut of the year. Iron Man 3 holds the lead with $174.1 million when it was released in May.

Man of Steel also made $71.6 million internationally, CNN reported. These figures include $9.8 million in Mexico and $17.6 million in the U.K.

It is now the biggest opening for any movie released in the month of June, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com. Man of Steel managed to beat Toy Story 3 which brought in a little over $110 million when it premiered in June 2010. Third is Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which brought in $108 million in 2009.

Man of Steel earned one more accomplishment. It holds second place as the biggest opening day ever, grossing $44 million when it premiered on Friday, Forbes reported. It didn't manage, however, to take The Hunger Games out of the lead. The movie, starring Jennifer Lawrence, grossed $67 million when it premiered in March 2012.

The movie's main character can be thanked. Henry Cavill, who plays Superman, spent months to get in perfect shape for the part.

"There's a strong connection between the process that a soldier will go through in the gym and the process that Henry went through to become the character Superman," said Cavill's trainer Mark Twight in a clip for the National Guard's SoldierofSteel.com published on Sunday.

He spent five months training before filming even began, the actor told People during the film's New York City premiere on June 10.

The film's director also spoke with The Guardian to explain what he tried to accomplish with the latest superhero role.

"It's job is to the answer the questions of the man and the myth of Superman," Snyder said in a Monday interview.
