Hollywood is counting on Superman to end its cash crisis at the box office this summer.Movie bosses - who suffered their worst summer at the box office last year - are praying for the Man of Steel to save the industry.Having released a string of disappointing blockbusters Hollywood made a mere $3.6 billion last summer - which makes it the one of the worst seasons of the decade.This year The National Association of Theatre Owners is banking on 'Superman Returns' to perform well and kick start the industry again.A source said: "When you have a well crafted, entertaining film that people will want to see, they will come out in record numbers."The blockbuster - released next month - stars relatively unknown actor Brandon Routh as Clark Kent and Aussie beauty Kate Bosworth as feisty Lois Lane.Other big releases of the summer include a new 'X-Men' instalment, Peter Jackson's 'The Poseidon Adventure' and 'Mission: Impossible III', which has already turned out to be a disappointment in its first week.0Comments | Be the first to comment!
