1 Superman (2025 film) 2,574,838 Twelve years after the DC Extended Universe started, Warner Bros. takes another shot at doing a shared superhero film series, and the DC Universe also begins with a Superman adventure. Though unlike the grim and dour Man of Steel, this time around writer-director James Gunn provides a colorful and lighthearted adventure fitting of the Last Son of Krypton's idealistic nature, albeit the film also features a particularly nasty take of his archenemy Lex Luthor and what he'll do to take Superman down. Reviewers and audiences alike approved Superman (the sparse opposition includes disgruntled DCEU fans who can't accept that story ended, and right-wingers who only now realized Superman is both benevolent and an immigrant), and it resulted in one of the year's biggest opening weekends with $220 million worldwide, only $5 million less than the movie's budget.
2 Amanda Anisimova 1,960,366 Last year, this American tennis player returned after a sabbatical at No. 132 of the WTA rankings, and now she's bound to get to the top 10 after a major title in February and one-upping her 2019 semifinal at the French Open by upsetting the sport's current #1 (#9) in Wimbledon to reach her first Grand Slam final! But unlike compatriots Madison Keys and Coco Gauff in the other two Grand Slams of the year, the final wouldn't be Anisimova's time to shine: in less than an hour she lost to another top-tier player (#7) with no games won and 28 unforced errors. Anisimova later admitted she had little left in the tank after her surprise run, leaving her "a bit frozen .. with my nerves". Given she's only 23, maybe another Grand Slam is in Anisimova's future.
3 Jurassic World Rebirth 1,436,660 Scarlett Johansson temporarily became the highest-grossing leading actor ever after the release of her latest blockbuster, the eighth installment on the popular franchise about revived dinosaurs where she plays a mercenary escorting a scientist collecting blood samples from the prehistoric beasts for pharmaceutical research. Rebirth overcame mixed reviews (which were still better than predecessor Jurassic World Dominion, that even decided to sideline the dinosaurs compared to giant locusts!) to make $322.6 million worldwide in its opening weekend, and surpassed half a billion right as the superpowered competitor at #1 arrived.
4 Ozzy Osbourne 1,124,790 The Prince of Darkness has been slowed down by age and ailments and hadn't performed live since 2022, so to finally mark his farewell to the stages, he held in his native Birmingham the Back to the Beginning concert event. Many big rock n' roll names performed across the day before the night finished with Ozzy twice in a row, first a solo concert and then bringing back the original Black Sabbath members. Showing he didn't lose his majesty, Ozzy performed in a throne, that also served to circumvent how Parkinson's disease removed his ability to walk.
5 Jannik Sinner 1,090,874 This Italian tennis player booked a spot in the men's singles final of this year's Wimbledon against the defending champion (#10) by defeating #20 in the quarter-finals and #12 in the semi-finals. This final promises to be a rematch of the French Open final a month ago.
6 Deaths in 2025 968,433 So now that it's over, can't we just say goodbye? (Bye, bye, goodbye)
I'd like to move on and make the most of the night
Maybe a kiss before I leave you this way
Your lips are so cold, I don't know what else to say...
7 Iga ?wi?tek 933,678 This Polish powerhouse (125 weeks atop the WTA rankings, 23 titles including 5 Grand Slams, and an Olympic bronze last year) had been in a down year with no championships, but bounced back at one of the sacred grounds of tennis, the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Starting on the semifinal against Belinda Bencic, Iga got a streak of 20 straight games to win her first Wimbledon title, and her slaughter of #2 marked the first Grand Slam final to end in a double bagel — 6-0, 6-0 — since 1988. Iga completed the Surface Slam — along with Wimbledon's grass, 4 titles at the French Open clay and one at the US Open hard courts — and certainly now aims to win the Australian Open to get the Career Grand Slam.
8 Diogo Jota 924,219 Following the sudden death of this 28-year old footballer along with his 25-year old brother, also a footballer, in a car crash, Liverpool F.C. announced that it will retire Jota's number 20 jersey. Numerous tributes also flowed in from the arts world, including at #23.
9 Aryna Sabalenka 822,829 The Belarusian leader of the WTA rankings lost the final of the year's first two Grand Slams to Americans. The third had her again been sent packing by the United States, only one round earlier as #2 upset her in the Wimbledon semifinals. Remains to be seen if the stars and stripes (and speaking of flags, Sabalenka currently has none next to her name due to her country's involvement in a terrible thing that doesn't end) will also end her in the last major - wouldn't you guess it, the US Open, of which Sabalenka is the defending champion!
10 Carlos Alcaraz 797,051 This Spanish tennis player will face #5 in this year's Wimbledon men's singles title, having won the previous two years, both times by defeating #12. Alcaraz last played Sinner in the French Open final a month ago, which he won.
11 Julian McMahon 787,233 This Australian actor died on July 2, though the cause of death was only revealed later: lung metastasis from head and neck cancer.
12 Novak Djokovic 771,568 The Serbian tennis player recorded his 100th win at Wimbledon, before losing to #5 in the semi-finals. This defeat was the first time since the 2017 tournament that Djokovic did not reach the final.
13 F1 (film) 740,733 Brad Pitt is an aging racecar driver brought to salvage an ailing Formula One team, in a production that at times disregards a realistic depiction of motorsport but provides plenty of fun high-octane races and compelling character moments. High public interest is shown in both box office that will end above the first two Marvel Cinematic Universe movies of the year and how F1 is below the two movies that earned more than it this weekend (#1, #3) but remains here while competitors either left (How to Train Your Dragon, 28 Years Later) or never entered the Report (M3GAN 2.0, Elio).
14 Sinners (2025 film) 730,826 One of the year's most successful movies hit HBO Max, and wonder if many people gave up on Sinners when it turned out to have vampires.
15 David Corenswet 658,048 The latest actor to don both Superman's cape and the glasses of his alterego Clark Kent in our #1. Philadelphia native David Corenswet is a Juilliard School graduate with at least two notable film roles beforehand, a doomed projectionist on Pearl and a rival meteorologist on Twisters.
16 Jeffrey Epstein 646,775 The deceased financier and child sex offender re-entered the news when the United States Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigations concluded that a supposed client list did not exist, though the Attorney General, Pam Bondi, previously said in February that such a list was "sitting on [her] desk ... to review". Bondi received criticism from several right-wing commentators over the conclusion, while her boss, president Donald Trump, whom Elon Musk alleged last month was named in the files, urged his followers to move on. CCTV footage of the outside of Epstein's jail cell was also released, though about a minute of footage was missing.
17 ChatGPT 644,649 If you're getting a bit annoyed by this LLM's unrelenting presence on this list, and indeed on Wikipedia at large, consider joining Wikipedia:WikiProject AI Cleanup.
18 Cameron Norrie 634,916 Entering this year's edition of Wimbledon unseeded, this British player got all the way to the quarter-finals, eventually losing to #10.
19 KPop Demon Hunters 611,135 While Sony Pictures Animation doesn't finish Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, they delivered this Netflix release about a K-pop girl group who follow a long line of popular singers with a mission to kill demons.
20 Ben Shelton 573,518 This American player's journey at Wimbledon ended in the quarter-finals, losing to #5.
21 João Pedro (footballer, born 2001) 560,327 The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup came down to two European clubs, and Chelsea FC got to the decision against Paris St. Germain thanks to the efforts of this Brazilian striker in eliminating the same Fluminense FC where he started his career, given he scored both goals of the semifinal.
22 July 2025 Central Texas floods 551,443 With at least 129 confirmed fatalities and around 170 people still missing at the time of writing, scrutiny has fallen on the official response to the disaster, namely the delayed use of the public warning system, the lack of an evacuation order, and the slow deployment of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
23 Back to the Beginning 493,012 Villa Park in Birmingham received a charity concert marking the farewell of the city's own #4 and his original band (#25), an all-star rock n' roll extravaganza where all the big names - Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Alice in Chains, Tom Morello, Steven Tyler, Slayer, Halestorm... and a pre-recorded performance by Jack Black! - had at least one Ozzy or Sabbath song in their compressed setlists. The stadium was sold out and millions of people watched the pay-per-view live streaming.
24 Squid Game season 3 470,273 Our #1 just made that image adequate... the Korean Netflix phenomenon about people taking part in deadly versions of children's games for money got its final season, well-received by critics but splitting the fanbase. The final scene can be taken as foreshadowing for a yet unconfirmed spin-off set in the United States.
25 Black Sabbath 451,366 Returning to the topic above (and keeping off the real version of #13 in Nico Hülkenberg, who broke a record 15 years and 239 races without a podium finishing third at the 2025 British Grand Prix), the seminal band formed by #4, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward who basically created heavy metal with their eponymous album in 1970. Their farewell concert marked not only Sabbath going back to the stage after 8 years but the first time the original quartet played together since 2012 (a contract dispute with Ward led to him being replaced right before reunion album 13).
