Singer's "Superman": With Fourth of July falling on a Tuesday, Warner Bros. is smart to be making the most of what the calendar offers by rescheduling its "Superman Returns" launch from Friday, June 30 to Wednesday, June 28. The new release date gives the Bryan Singer film a seven-day period in which to get off the ground. Considering that Fox's "X3" (which Singer, of course, was originally going to direct, but then left to make "Superman") grossed nearly $123 million for just four days over Memorial Day weekend, "Superman" could enjoy out-of-this-world returns for its seven-day "opening weekend."
