The man in tights was strong, but the devil in couture was positively super.
Superman Returns returned $52.1 million over the first three days of the extended Fourth of July holiday weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday, easily soaring into the top spot at the box office.
That was respectable business for the PG-13 Warner Bros. release, but not nearly heroic enough to challenge Sony’s downright amazing Spider-Man II, which netted a record $88.1 million its opening weekend in 2004.
And in a masterstroke of counterprogramming, The Devil Wears Prada strutted into multiplexes with a $27 million in its Friday-Sunday debut, exceeding its distributors’ forecasts.
