“‘Superman’ didn’t quite work as a film in the way that we wanted it to,” says Mr. Robinov. “It didn’t position the character the way he needed to be positioned.” “Had ‘Superman’ worked in 2006, we would have had a movie for Christmas of this year or 2009,” he adds. “But now the plan is just to reintroduce Superman without regard to a Batman and Superman movie at all.”

“Ponyo on the Cliff has surpassed 10 billion YEN (or about $93.2 million) in just 31 days of release. That means that over 8.43 million tickets have been purchased so far. The film which is tracking closely to Miyazaki’s 2001 hit Spirited Away, will likely sell around 25 million tickets by the end of it’s Japanese theatrical run. That’s almost the same amount of tickets as Pixar’s Ratatouille or WALL-E sold in America. And you have to remember that Japan has less than half the population of the United States (about 41%). It’s also worth noting that the film is only playing on 481 screens, about 10% the amount of theaters a Pixar film plays on opening weekend”
