How much will Troy do opening weekend?
I thought maybe I'll do this with every big summer movie until people start to get bored with them.
How much do you guys think the Wolfgang Petersen film will do opening weekend? It has a superb cast and a sweeping epic feel to it, but it is rated R which could hinder some of its box office intake.
I think Troy will do around 35 million, but I see this film having strong legs. If the good reviews and the word of mouth is strong it could help Troy be a true blockbuster.
Past polls:
Van Helsing

Right around 55-60 million. The R rating will keep it from doing super blockbuster numbers but this film should have legs considering the casting.

I voted for $75 million. I mean if Van Helsing can make $55 million, then I think that Troy will do much bigger #s. Gladiator movies are huge and I think that Pitt & Bloom will draw the female audience in.
This is my second most anticipated summer movie after Spider Man 2. I've been wantin' to see this since the trailers in the Fall.
Also, to the OP, when makin' a frequency distribution poll, I have some suggestions (I'm studyin' for the Chartered Financial Analyst Exam so all this stuff is fresh in my mind).
1) Define an interval that has an equal range. (e.g. your first interval is 20, then 15, 15, 25, 25). You can do it in increments of 10, 15, or even 20. You have up to 10 choices in a poll so if you went by 15 million intervals it could be 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, etc.
2) Your intervals need to be mutually exclusive, i.e. the values can't overlap (e.g. if you think that the movie is gonna make $50 million, do you choose $35-50 million or $50-75 million?) To fix that just use the

I think the long run time is the major factor that is going to come into play. It would need a lot more screens to catch up with that advantage that Helsing had and that bearly squeezed past the 50 mark.
44-55 is my guess

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.
