supermanreturns.jpgIt’s a bird.  It’s a plane.  No, it’s the box office soaring faster than a speeding bullet this weekend with Superman Returns as its prime breadwinner.  The much awaited movie hits screens with 4,065 engagements this weekend.

The Warner Bros. Pictures film sped into 3,915 venues in North America Wednesday & cashed in more than $21 million in gross ticket sales.  The Wednesday premier was number 11 on the biggest Wednesday opening, of all time, just behind The Fellowship of the Ring which took in $18.2 million, with Spider-Man 2 taking the cake in 2004 with $40.4 million.

Superman Returns marks the first time in 19 years that the blue leotard-ed man has graced the silver screen.  With newcomer Brandon Routh donning the red cape, blowing-away-in-the-wind Kate Bosworth as newsie Lois Lane & Kevin Spacey as villain Lex Luthor, this new take on an old take will be an interesting couple of hours. 

See you bright & early Monday with more rumors & tales.  Happy weekend!
