Superman Returns Nabs $21 Million In Wednesday Opener

Posted on June 29, 2006

Variety reports that Superman Returns had a very nice opening Wednesday, making $21 million. No doubt the fourth of July weekend will see the Man of Steel make lots of box office magic.

Movies used to open on Friday. Then we had a few midnight showings on Thursdays. Now we have Wednesday box office and some sneak Tuesday midnight screenings. Does this mean that in five years or so we'll be back to Friday openings, as the opening day moves further and further back in time? We're just asking.

• Avatar: The Way of Water Top Box Office for Fourth Consecutive Weekend



• Black Adam Tops Box Office with $67 Million U.S. Opening



• Nope Tops Weekend Box Office



• Jungle Cruise Tops Weekend Box Office



• A Quiet Place Part II Tops Memorial Day Box Office
