Warner Brothers is hurrying the opening of its anticipated blockbuster "Superman Returns" by two days, to June 28 from the planned June 30, according to SciFi Wire.

The new premiere date occurs on the Wednesday before the July 4 weekend, giving the Bryan Singer-directed superhero movie a seven-day weekend to build grosses, the report said.

WB had been eyeing a June 28 debut, but didn't make it official until it was certain the movie could be completed in time. Also, there were considerations with the film's IMAX release, SciFi Wire said.

Singer has said the film's production budget was around a whopping $200 million.
