We stopped looking at theater counts for Singerman here a long while ago since they really haven't been relevant once the film left general theater distribution. However in just so happening to look at the theater counts for the upcoming weekend, this stuck out like a sore thumb. The turtle that was Singerman FINALLY passes the big $200 million mark after 17 long weekends, and NOW it looks like Warners is finally letting it die in peace.It dropped 262 theaters this weekend and will only be playing in 41, a reduction of a whopping 86.5%. That seems like a bit of an extreme drop compared to its previos weekends. Which now leaves us wondering just how much exactly "Big Brother" paid TO exhibitors to keep the film running in their dollar theaters so the film could reach $200 million? Since now that its hit the mark, its getting dropped like it has the plague.
While we still dont think a potential sequel hinged on that $200 million amount, it appears obvious there was some incentive on the studios part to hit that milestone, if only to save face perhaps.

Who knows but if so studios do that all the time, it is not all that unusual.
SSS did you have a job on the set of SR and got canned or something. Your hatred for this movie and Singer runs so deep i really think you may need some counseling.
Yes. It is suspect that the theater drop is so drastic now.
Good thing this turd's finally being tossed out.
Haters are idiots. There was nothing wrong with raping superman. Be grateful you even got a movie.
SSS is a PUSSY and SR kicked ASS!!
I want to be stalked by Superman...
naked.
Do you guys think Singer did some of the stuff he did in returns like the kid, the jesus refs, the ripped off lines, and lame action just to see if he could get away with it? Seems like it to me.
And lois is a ho for sleeping with Richard right after superman left. She's a ho.
Superman Returns is the new King Kong. Bloated, pretentious, crap.
Yes SR is a true B movie that somehow has fans. A cult following I guess.
Anyway, someone at WB please fire Singer and get someone who's a Superman fan to do the film rather than a Donner boy.
It's hollywood. These are the same dumb fucks who greenlit Superman III.
Don't expect them to give one shiny golden fuck about respecting the source material.
Batman Begins was an anomaly. Be very afraid for The Dark Knight, folks...
I recently saw that movie, the Legend of Zorro and it was basically the same thing as Superman Returns. The only difference was that there was an actual script with dialogue and not just a bunch of dumb gazes back and forth that try to seem deep and meaningful.
Singer you fuckin fail. You rip off donner then you go rip off Zorro.
Hack.
WTF were you thinking? I can't believe you actually wasted 200 mil. for this load of shit.
And then you had to squeeze out one last drop and add a Super baby.
WHAT THE FUCK? SUPERMAN AND SON NOW?
don't worry about us Batman fans. We know our film is in good hands.
Did anyone else have the popeye the sailor man theme in their head while watching SuperStalker lift the big chunk of krypto rock?
Anyone?
Ha ha ha. Sawyer on Lost is a daddy like Superman.
Sawyer = Superman
GET READY FOR SUPERMAN RETURNS 2: LEX THROWS MORE WIGS AT SCREAMING CHILDREN!!! OH THE EVIL THAT IS LEX!!!
Ahh conspiracy theories, yes i was the second gunman on the grassy knoll.
Guess you were, since the CIA report on the assasination makes no logical sense. You must hate Singerman then.
Come on, we ALL know Chuck Norris killed JFK, if not accidentally.
