In the last five years, the "worst" performance by a top summer film domestically was Finding Nemo's $340 million. Neither of our current leaders, X-Men: The Last Stand and The Da Vinci Code, appears ready to come within $100 million of that number.
So now, it's up to Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and Superman Returns to lead the way. But don't get too dependent on those two titles alone. Films that open in the next two months, combined with holdover from the first two months, are still about $2 billion away from an average summer.
