I know it's early, but, this film has been at the very top of buzz charts for a LONG time. This is supposedly going to be the best of the three, and, I believe that's saying alot. In addition, the first two have established a HUGE following, developing fans that might not have been LOTR fans before the films (myself included). I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict AT LEAST $75mil on opening weekend. My ACTUAL gut feeling right now is in the $85mil range. I'm going to guess this opens in about 3500+ theaters, with a $25,000 PTA. I think this will be absolutely HUGE.

But, if you look at the first two films in this series, their very long run-times definitely held back their opening weekend gross. is one will be no different, in fact, I think I heard it was goin to be the longest of all three.

Jcam:

It opens December 17th which is a Wednesday. So you better adjust your totals. I agree with you that it will be huge. I had never even heard of LotR till the first movie came out. So I guess I fall into your category of people that you are speaking of. I will go see it opening day.

The last two did around 65,(also Wednesday openers) I think, for their 3-day, so at the moment I've got it pegged for 10 million more than that.
