But part of me wonders if it can shock with like 83m and head for a 700m gross. DP07, I love your predictions but that's beyond anything possible. Even $62 million feels impossible. There are only so many seats to go around. 50 mill aint happening, let alone 62 or 83 (are you seriously smoking crack?).

I remember him saying somewhere (in another thread) when I said I couldn't wait for Pirates that it would be good because the appeal of the film transcended the typical action movie fanbase.
I think about 115 opening, and 320-ish total. It won't reach 400. It might have if I was seeing 90% over at RT, or if Keith Richards managed to have done his cameo role, but I'll stick with 320 total right now.

I think he said once he would never do a movie (urban myth?). So I think people were incredibly excited about his presence. It would have also added appeal to some older crowds for nostalgia purposes, and to music fans, of course. And Depp did say Rickards was part of his inspiration for the character, and I think fans were excited at the idea of the artist and the muse coming together.
I know, I know. In name alone, right? I'd have put Pirates at 125 opener (depending on theatre/screen count) and 400 total. But alas, 'twas not meant to be....

You'll be predicting $400m+ for the sequel, I presume?

HSX is at 308.57 and that means around a 110 million weekend.
(well based on most previous movies you take the total and divide by 2.8 to get the opening weekend)

Well that's certainly a departure, and I admit I'm having trouble visualizing it.  Castles inside a city? There weren't any cities in the times of the castles. The castle WAS the city, surrounded by pristine countryside etc. Now the castle gets to compete with skyscrapers and Starbucks. When you wish upon a star, it does makes a difference where you are. You rarely even see stars in a city because of the light pollution. There go all the little girl fairy-tale memories from my childhood (yes, I had them, sue me).

I'm tempted to increase my prediction to 535m. I've long wanted to go with 550m, but have been playing it safe.

Forget it.
Final: 177m/550m
OD: 65m
Well, I'm tempted to predict that. But, should I? Now, I'm thinking twice. Perhaps I should hedge with only 162m.
