The more interesting question is how much it'll drop in it's second week - apparantly it's supposed to be a major piece of crap, so accordingly, it should drop like a rock. I hope it won't make back it's money, so the execs could understand that they need better scripts.

I don't see how people can honestly say under 50 million. This is the opening salvo of the summer movie season, and it always starts with a bang. Regardless of movie quality people will turn out in droves....the Internet buzz has pretty much turned against this movie, but the majority of film goers don't follow internet buzz, so they're still jacked to see the movie.
If this movie doesn't open to at least 55 million, I will proudly proclaim in my sig that I am a movie idiot.

It will most likely drop, but the better scripts thing ain't gonna happen as whatever replaces it will most likely be another piece of crap.
While I am sure Troy will outdo it the second weekend, the R rating might make it less competition than one would expect. While I am glad it went with the R rating, having that rating attached to a $200 million film in the summertime with a family oriented flick (Shrek 2) following it the next week is a stupid idea.

There was a show on the Sci-fi channel hyping this movie up with a profile of the old universal monster movies. Even then this looked craptastic. 58 million.

Over $50 mil for sure, it has to double at least what Mean Girls did, cmon! And I agree, the majority of the public either dont know or give a rat's ass what some Internet geek fanboys with grudges say about a movie.

I think the studio would be happy if Van Helsing was just as terrible.
