I don´t think there was such a consensus, a lot of people thought movies like POTC2 and Cars were going to make more.
I would go back and skim through a ton of those publications and their 2006 Summer Box Office Predictions/Previews. Superman Returns was pegged to be right at the top with Pirates (Entertainment Weekly put it at $300 million and number one). Point is, no one saw it being in the position its in, behind films like Cars and Night At the Museum. Begins may have been seen as a disappointment to some, but looking at what finished ahead of it, it shouldn't be nearly as surprising.
