Since 1997, I believe. But, I don't think that means much. Look at the openings for all the Batman movies.
Batman: $40,489,746
Batman Returns: $45,687,711
Batman Forever: $52,784,433
Batman & Robin: $42,872,606
All movies raked in above $40 million. It's hard to believe that Batman Begins, being released in a time where attendance at movie theaters is higher than the 90's, will score lower than $40 million. There are hardcore Batman fans out there, and this can easily do $40 million. I mean, Terminator 2 came out in 1991, and Terminator 3 came out in 2003, but did that do bad? No.

I'm certain The Ring Two and xXx 2 will make it. I can see Robots going either way.

I'll stop predicting movies forever if The Ring Two doesn't make $40 million. That's an easy landmark, considering The Grudge did it.

People were saying the same stuff about 2 Fast 2 Furious. This is the type of action movie that will attract the average teen. Plus, it will be so frontloaded, that alone will largely push it to 40m+ opening weekend.

Yeah but the Fast and the Furious became a film that defined 2001 because it gave a peak inside street racing and it caught on (don't ask me why), all XXX was a spy flick.
In conclusion, I do not see XXX making 40 mil

I'm sure the sequel to one of the most loved teen horror movies in the past 10 years can get more than $40 million. :wink:  I think teens are willing themselves to be scared cause there hardup and haven't seen a good horror movie and will settle for just about anything that resembles Japanese Horror.._________________http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dmXF3CE04A This kills TDKR At the box office next summer..

Emmm....JU ON was made about 7 years ago....you can't include that with GRUDGE and RING (2002). Because no one went to see it when it was in limited release last year.
THE RING made $129,000,000
THE GRUDGE made $110,000,000
THE RING TWO is going to make $100,000,000+
So yeah, the majority obviously love japanese horror.
This will be proven when THE RING TWO opens over $40M.

It's going to be so frontloaded, that it would only need about 90m, or less, in total to open with 40m. You don't think it has that much in it?

I'd go as far as saying that Fantastic Four is a lock, simply because this summer doesn't look exciting at all and there 'bound to be more $40+ million openers than we suppose and Fantastic Four seems like a perfect choice. It's lighthearted, summer fun. I mean it's one of Marvel's "biggies". Look at their previous biggies:
Daredevil opened to $40+ million in February
The Hulk opened to $62 million
X-Men opened to $54 million back in 2000
X2 opened to ~$85 million
I don't even need to mention Spider-Man and its sequel.
I don't see why F4 should do any worse than at least Daredevil that managed a $40 million opening in February.

F4 will probably make it, but I really think the legs will be horrible.
