The international trailer has been released.

The film opens via 20th Century Fox on October 5th, opposite Tim Burton's Frankenweenie, the musical comedy Pitch Perfect, and the Ethan Hawke-led supernatural horror film Sinister.

Is there any chance of a Bourne Identity/Bourne Supremacy box-office dynamic happening here?

50m-55m, I hope its trailer gets showed in front of the few blockbusters that remain (TAS, TDKR, BL, TR)

I am going with $40m-$45m at this point.

This is gonna be huge, like $50mil+

Any word if it'll be R or PG-13.

PG-13 I think 44-55 is definitely possible

$50-55 million at this point, but a Bourne Ultimatum type opening is very possible.

Let's be real here. $20M at best.

I don't think it translates as well into a sequel as many. 40m-45m.

No OW. Look this isn't going to pull the same crowd as the first and this is going to be all Hangover 2 situation again.

$45m.

The Grey opened to $20M entirely because of the starpower Neeson achieved from Taken.

I think the trailer does a really good job at not making the premise seem retarded, thinking $60-65m at this point.

The October OW record is going down

I voted in the 40-45 range. I'm staying conservative for now, but I wouldn't be suprised if it did go higher. Liam Nesson's appeal should not be underestimated, especially when he is back playing a iconic role. He was already able to turn a R-rated, indie, survival thriller into a $50M+ hit, so he is definitely at the peak of his drawing power.

Looks like Niam will get a big hit from this and expect increases overseas...

Could see Rush Hour type of increase.

Post subject:  Re: Predict Taken 2's opening weekend

Actually I can see this opening sub $25m.

This will do well, but it will have been almost 4 years since the original. I don't think this is automatically doing $50 m + from Taken goodwill. I can see $30's. If this were released within two years of the original, I'd say it could have done $60 m +. But 4 years is a long time for this type of movie imo.

Taken is nothing special but it was very pleasing movie.

You had Liam Nesson doing everything possible to save his daughter and you rooted for him and cheered him on. Add in some epic one liners and some cool action...

I think that is the reason why Taken was such a big hit and was so well liked. It has a 7.9 on IMDB which is great for a action flick.

Taken opened to $24m. There's absolutely no chance in the world this opens to less.
