According to the good folks over at Boxoffice Mojo, Supermant Returns opening night took in over $21 million dollars.¬† That makes it the 29th largest opening day for a film in history.¬† Oh but here’s the kicker… you’ve got to keep in mind it opened on a Wednesday night instead of a Friday.¬† Those are good numbers.
A few days ago we had a poll asking how much Superman Returns (keeping in mind that it opened on Wednesday) would make by the end of the weekend.¬† Less the half the people who responded thought it would make over $100 million.¬† After making over $21 million on opening day I think it’s safe to say it will blow the doors off of $100 million by the end of the weekend EASILY.
