 Will Watchmen open to MORE or LESS than $65 million? An R-rated 163-minute long difficult superhero flick on the one hand.
One of the most terrificly and intensively marketed films of the year on the other hand.
I go with MORE.

Re: Will Watchmen open to MORE or LESS than $60 million? First "event" movie of the year + great marketing + recession + super hero genre. Yeah this should have a great opening, over 60 million. But I wouldn't be surprised if it finishes under 150 million.

Re: Will Watchmen open to MORE or LESS than $65 million? I think most are lowballing this I see 60m, and 130m as good floors. I see something more like 68m 190m, personally.

Re: Will Watchmen open to MORE or LESS than $65 million? $65 is borderline - it will open to anywhere between $60-$75m.

Re: Will Watchmen open to MORE or LESS than $65 million? The market/economy + the campaign + 300 > 65.
legs-wise, we're looking at a much lower total than 300... unless it opens to like over 90m or something ridiculous.

Re: Will Watchmen open to MORE or LESS than $65 million? A Tyler Perry movie just opened to $41 m. I'm sure this can get at least $24 m more. MORE. Much, much more.

Re: Will Watchmen open to MORE or LESS than $65 million? It doesn't look that great  , and that runtime is insane. I had no idea it was so long. That will put a damper on things. Yet being the only new wide release opening and not having much competition will help it a lot. I guess I say more. Maybe 67 Million.

Re: Will Watchmen open to MORE or LESS than $65 million? Less. Let's not all get so hyped up with the economy, we don't even know if it is the economy.
(mostly it probably is but whatever, if it opens higher than 50m I'd be surprised)

Re: Will Watchmen open to MORE or LESS than $65 million? Less.. Definitely LESS.. There is simply far too much hype for what looks to be nothing more than a below average looking movie that's virtually unknown..

Re: Will Watchmen open to MORE or LESS than $65 million? I'm going with less. And I'm not a pessimist either.

Re: Will Watchmen open to MORE or LESS than $65 million? Run time doesn't matter anymore. Theaters will make it available if necessary. If it's selling out every show, or the majority, they'll open more theaters to it. I actually wish it could be longer. I mean, there is just so much to cover from the book.
MORE!

Re: Will Watchmen open to MORE or LESS than $65 million? 65 sounds right given the runtime.
