How much do you think it will gross on the 3 day opening weekend? And how much will it gross domestic (US gross)?

[chips and dip]

Opening- $25 million

I think it will be kind of like Lemony Snicket in the way that it will do really good on DVD...

[indy-jones]

Opening: $50-60 Million
Total: $300-350 Million

Might start getting big legs around the Thanksgiving/Christmas season!

Great promotion with Train Tour and lots of clips and with many talkshows and London premiere coming next week it really looks fantastic.

I hope it might still do well around Christmas since it was made about it though I doubt it will do well in most 3D cinemas because of James Cameron's Avatar!

I wonder if Disney might plan a limited rerelease just in time for Oscar season?

There is still a very long way for the movie to get profit to Disney. With the big budget ($200 million) and the marketing budget (around $150 million) and the Train Tour event across the country.
