[QUOTE="OB1, post: 8976142, member: 6796241"] [USER=50987]@CleverNickName[/USER] yeah, it's looking like the above is probably where it will come in this weekend. The good news is that it could end up playing like the latest Puss in Boots, which had a very soft opening ($13M) but kept chugging along on word of mouth and ended up with a very respectable $184M domestic and nearly $500M worldwide total. D&D won't have the 3 months PiB had to get to there, but with a $35M opening it should at the very least hit $100M domestic by the end of April. It looks like the marketing so far just hasn't broken thru to the non-D&D playing crowd. What I really can't understand is why they haven't shown the primary plot driver of the film [SPOILER="Spoiler"]Chris Pine working to rescue his daughter[/SPOILER] which seems like something that would bring in a wider audience. Maybe they're holding that for after opening weekend? Either that or the forecast models are predicated on the audience being over 25 and male, and the under 25 and female crowd will double the current projection and leave me as the winner! [/QUOTE]
