Superman Skyrockets to Top of US Box Office
Posted 1 hour ago by BEAT100 in Celebrity News
Superman movie Man of Steel has boomed to the top of the North American box office rankings, raking up $113m (£71.9m) in its opening weekend, early estimates have suggested.
The film stars British actor Henry Cavill as the superhero alongside Amy Adams as news reporter, Lois Lane.
"They finally got the Superman formula right," said box office analyst for Hollywood.com, Paul Dergarabedian.
"Superhero movies really are the bread and butter of the summer box office."
Man of Steel scored the biggest opening for June, beating the previous record held by Toy Story 3, which made $110.3 million when it opened in 2010.
The comedy This Is the End debuted in second place.
It stars Seth Rogen, James Franco and Jonah Hill as versions of themselves trapped in a mansion during the apocalypse.
