Superman: Stone Cold KILLA?

To date, Warner Bros.' tentpole has earned $248.7 million domestically and $271.7 million in foreign sales, for a worldwide total of $520.4 million. (The film hasn't even opened in Brazil or Japan yet.)"This success for Man of Steel is a great 75th birthday present for this iconic character," said Warners' Dan Fellman. "The film took Superman back to his roots for a new generation of moviegoers, who have once again embraced Krypton and Kansas' favorite son.
