Superman

[El Ishmael]

What type of opening weekend will this have? (I assume opening weekend does not extend until Mon/Tues. - correct?)

W/ the list being

Spiderman: 114M
Star Wars: Ep. III: 108M
Shrek 2: 108M
X3: 103M

it seems that Superman could get v. close to Spiderman - will it surpass it? Also there were a few other movies out when X3 was released, if I remember correctly, and there's not much now. This will be huge.

Cliffs: Superman will make a lot of money.

Why are comic book movies so popular?

Whatever this means, it sounds wrong.

Huge built-in fanbase. It's a little different with Superman since it's already been done, but the principle applies. Also, they tend to be special effects extravaganzas, which always draws.

KKF:

I think it's because comic book movies remind us of when we were kids.

I think this is an okay guess, but I wouldn't be surprised if it went a little higher. There's gotta be 6M+ Kevin Spacey diehards out there.

Using "The Price Is Right" rules...$97M.
