It's a bird! It's a plane!

It's $125.1 million in the bizzank!!

Man of Steel surpassed even its highest of expectations as it soared into history this weekend, marking itself as the highest June opening ever.

Beating the beloved Toy Story 3's record, Henry Cavill can rest easy now knowing that while his film may not have wooed the critics, it definitely seduced the audience!

With that ass, how could he not?? LOLz!!

Is Superman strong enough to break through the $100,000,000 barrier?

Some analysts think so! Estimates have Man Of Steel making as much as $105 million this weekend, which would put it just under the top 20 opening weekends of all time!

With a good head start of $21 million on Thursday late night screenings alone, the film has a shot, but Warner Bros. is trying not to get their hopes up. They're expecting the reboot to hit around $85 mil.

We think they may be underestimating the super-powered appeal of Henry Cavill! In the pantheon of pecs to put on Clark Kent's specs, we think he rates pretty darn high! Up in the sky high!

It's a bird! It's a plane! Nope, it's a chiseled jaw and an 8-pack of abs!

Yeah, we're going to say a $100 million without breaking a sweat! But if he does, that's OK too! LOLz!

The world might be ending for the fictional version of James Franco and his merry men, but here in real life things are looking up!

The AH-Mazing apocalyptic comedy This is the End opened Wednesday night and the reviews and returns are surprisingly pleasant!!

Who would've thought audiences would drop $7.8 million dollars on a Wednesday to watch James, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Jonah Hill, & co. play slightly fictional versions of themselves?!

Seth and Jay Baruchel, apparently! They starred Jay and Seth vs. The Apocalypse, a short film that inspired this one, back in 2007!

Man of Steel may very well knock the raunchy comedy down a peg this weekend, but, for now, This is the End is tops.

We never imagined the end of times would be so delightful!!

We guess movie goers are FINALLY hungover when it comes to The Hangover franchise!

While the third and final installment of the comedic trilogy made a solid $42.4 million in its opening weekend, it was NO MATCH for the latest Fast & Furious sequel, Fast & Furious 6, which DOMINATED with an insane $98.5 million!

And that's not all it's expected to make, given that Memorial Day is tomorrow!

In fact, if it does as well as it's estimated to do - around $122 million - then it will become the FOURTH-HIGHEST opening for the holiday EVER!

Meanwhile, Warner Bros. president of distribution Dan Fellman, responsible for The Hangover Part III, admits:

"It was a little surprising that we didn't reach the $80 million mark, but I can't look at a $63 million or $64 million opening and say it wasn't solid. Obviously, the first choice was Fast 6, but hopefully people will get a dose of that film and then come back to us."

Guess we'll have to see and find out!

Ch-ch-check out the full box office top ten this weekend…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Star Trek Into Darkness may have tried to boldly go where no blockbuster had gone before, but unfortunately, it appears to have fallen a few million dollars short of that!

Although the J.J. Abrams-directed sequel was expected to rack in between $90-$100 million during its opening box office weekend, the numbers are now in….and apparently, audiences were not as thrilled to see Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto battle it out with Benedict Cumberbatch, as it only secured about $70.6 million!

But don't fret, Trekkies!

The flick STILL beat out all of the competition for the weekend's number one spot domestically, and in the process crushed both Iron Man 3, which came in second with $35.2 million, and The Great Gatsby, which made a cool $23.4 and rounded out the top three!

Ch-ch-check out the rest of the weekend's box office top ten…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Set your phasers to BANK!

Star Trek Into Darkness is set to knock Robert Downey Jr.'s iron butt out of the top spot in the box office this weekend!

Judging by pre-sales & a super-strong Wednesday and Thursday opening, studio shaman's expect the sci-fi sequel to break $100 mil in its opening weekend!!!

$100,000,000!?!?

Whoa! Somebody needs to beam J.J. Abrams up a congratulatory bottle of champagne!!

Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Benedict Cumberbatch all look super fine in their totally tight & extra fabulous

Well done, old sport!

For one night and one night only, The Great Gatsby kicked Iron Man 3's ass in theaters!

The threequel is the second highest-grossing superhero flick ever - having now made over $1 BILLION internationally - but Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation beat it out for the top-money-making flick in North America yesterday, with an impressive $3.9 million from 3,535 theaters!

Hell yeah! Leonardo DiCaprio still has it!

Meanwhile, the latest from Robert Downey, Jr. pulled in a close second, with $3.85 million from 4,253 screens!

As one exec puts it:
