I think it's the biggest opening in Warner Bros. history so I wouldn't say it's not up to par. It beat industry expectations and blasted the hell out of (the much superior) Batman Begins.

So I hear that the box office performance of Superman Returns is not up to par. I guess now I'll have to see it out of pity for the box office.

Actually if you go to BoxOfficeMojo and look at the number of screens versus the amount earned then you'll see that both films performed about the same- opening take of BB was aprox $12,634 per screen and SR was approx $12,923- so neither was a failure but SR has a much steeper hill to climb to reach profitability. And I really think POTC2 will soon make many movie-goers forget about seeing SR.
