If you remember back word was that there would be no Superman Returns sequel unless the takings broke US$200million domestically, despite Bryan Singer saying that he wanted to do it, this was the studio requirement before a sequel would be greenlit. Well it's happened, and just.

It took second runs and two dollar showings to get it over the mark, but according to Superhero Hype it did it...just.

...this weekend, earning $173,000 to bring its total to $200,006,305 after 117 days in release.

Phew, that was close. I remember when it opened in Scotland, we were experiencing a sweltering weekend of weather and the cinema was practically empty, however you would have expected people to flood into see it during the week and the following weekend. I'm amazed that this barrier wasn't broken ages ago.

Still the news is good. Singer says yes and now so do the money men. Does that mean Jude Law is on for Zod?
