US Box Office: How Much Will 'Watchmen' Make in its Opening Weekend?

Settled as 45 to Less than 60 Million

55.124 million

Background:

Background: Opening March 6, 3600+ Theaters.

Synopsis: A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, Watchmen is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the Doomsday Clock -- which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union -- moves closer to midnight.

When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the outlawed but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion -- a disbanded group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers -- Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future.

Their mission is to watch over humanity...but who is watching the Watchmen? --© Warner Bros

Might be close; BigHollywood is projecting 57+ for the 3-day. Yikes!

FWIW, I sat through this on Friday. W-a-y too long, w-a-y too close to the book, and, IMO, a very uncharismatic leading lady. On the other hand, I really liked Rorschach, and the title sequence was excellent. I'll most likely watch it again...but on DVD in my living room...
