Hard to say. I'd guess maybe $38m-$43m, but it seems a bit conservative. Maybe closer to $48m.

I don't see Troy topping Van Helsing's opening weekend gross. Even with Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom and Eric Bana - it will have a diverse audience, but I doubt that it'll be released on more screens than Van Helsing was. I think Universal set a record with the # of Van Helsing screens.

According to boxofficemojo, Van Helsing opened on 3575 screens. They estimate Troy will open on 3400+ screens. Running time will lower Troy's screenings, but on the other hand, VH is getting bad word of mouth. If you look at the daily numbers, it made just a tad more on Saturday than it did Friday (which is not typical) and its actual box office was a couple of million lower than the Sunday estimate.

I'm now hearing that VH will maybe make $150M, which is its budget before marketing.
