Variety and Hollywood Reporter wouldn't even give a number on Thursday.

The only one who did, ERC, said $55 million.

They is us, and I'm one of those since I had said several times I thought this could open to $70 million. Most people within the industry hedged their bets completely on this, however, since it was such a wild card. A competing exec said on Tuesday that he thought it would open in the upper-$30s.

Fittingly enough for this particular movie with a main character of Rorschach, people see what they want to see with the number.

- Right, as I was telling Hamann yesterday, I have a hard time finding a scenario where this film is in the black by the time it leaves theaters. - David Mar 8, 10:14 1
  - I really hope that Fox's lawyers accidently f***ed themselves over in the fine print -- nm - Beryllium Mar 8, 10:17
