That number marks the lowest opening for a superhero movie this summer, behind ‘Thor’ ($66 million) ‘X-Men: First Class’ ($56 million).

To put things in perspective: That's the lowest debut by an 'X-Men' movie since the franchise launched in 2000, with $54.5 million.

It's getting very close to that time of year; the time of year when we get deluged with new movies. From May until August, on any given day or night, we will be able to see the latest (not necessarily the greatest) films available. It seems as if it starts earlier every year.

If you ever wanted to know how to get your mom to watch movies with you, just ask Robert Tuttle for a little advice. Last Thursday, the 22-year-old allegedly forced his mother to watch hours of movies with him by threatening her with his ax.
