From BOM:
Man of Steel expands in to France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia and China next weekend—if it does similarly strong business in those markets, an overseas gross north of $500 million is likely.
We're definitely getting a sequel and a perfect launching point for a shared DCU. 😎
MOS is doing amazing numbers for a reboot/origin. The best in SH history. Congrats Snyder.
according to Wall Street Journal via comicbookmovie, a sequel as quickly as next year..

It was better than IM 3 in action and characters but the story was weaker than IM3. The pacing was weird and the story was not developed well. MOS did give us a memorable Superman that looked the part. Most MOS characters had their moments unlike Rhodes who didn't do much in IM3. Had Black actually done an actual Mandarin I would be so happy instead we got that garbage twist. IM3 could've used more Iron Man and War Machine action. Man of Steel could've developed the story better and cut back on the fight scenes. So many hits happened in fights, I hardly remember what was happening.

One thing I was pleased with, they got the scale and pace of a superman fight down pat. Massive property destruction that comes easily and fights that are often lengthy due to Superman's and his opponents durability. That action got me excited for what they could do with a Death of Superman story.
MOS is still holding well in Asia.
