Check this poster out - It's for a movie called CRANK, which sounds like a sorta update of an underrated Dennis Quaid movie from a ways back called DOA. In this, a man (Jason Stratham) has been injected with a poison that will kill him in 1 hour unless he's constantly stimulated by adrenaline (think kick ass action stuff, yeah!) as he tried to track down the bad guys. Nice!Well, Superman is kicking butt. Not kicking ass, but I'd say more of a butt. It did 21 million on Weds (Spidey 2 made 40.4 million on its opening day) and Supes did 11 million on Thursday (down a larger percentage that War Of the Worlds) and is estimated to hit about 90 million for 5 days. The main thing will be how it holds up, espcially with the juggernaut of Pirates of the Johnny Deppster approaching, although I'm wondering if some people will be turned off since Pirates 2 ends with a sorta cliffhanger (Pirates 3 is next summer). I doubt it, I think Pirates will still rake it in.

So, why can't he take adrenaline via IV? Or stab himself with an EpiPen?
Anaphylactic shock is gonna kill you a lot sooner than one hour.
Yeah but then we wouldn't have a movie of cool, ridiculous stunts & crashes
although the Quaid "DOA" was itself a remake of D.O.A. starring Edmond O'Brien from 1950

I hope Superman Returns stalls short of $200 million. Then maybe they'll try harder next time to actually make a good movie.
You're correct, Chris, but I only remember the one with a scantily clad Meg Ryan.
hello chaps. On an unrelated note, commiserations on the bluecat front PJ. We still posting up feedback?
Yes, feedback will be posted. Good or bad. (Must be bad since I didn't place!). Pricks!
I don't like this Wed release date thing, they can't fool us with the numbers. How would it have really done on a normal Friday-Sunday
