Warner Bros. Pictures' Watchmen has set its first record before even opening - its 3,611 theater count will be the most ever for an R-rated film.
Also, the Zack Snyder-directed graphic novel adaptation will play in an impressive 1,600 locations starting at midnight Thursday. That's substantially more than the 656 midnight shows that helped Snyder's 300 earn $28 million in only the first day of its $71 million opening weekend in March 2007.
The first-day haul for 300 was the second-highest ever for an R-rated film, after the $42.5 million tally that Warners registered with 2003's The Matrix Reloaded. The previous widest release for an R-rated movie was the distributor's 3,603-theater bow for "Reloaded."
The Watchmen theater count includes 124 engagements in IMAX which all will have midnight shows.
wow they are going to have some crazy numbers for an opening weekend. How much do you think this moive will be able to generate?

I think they can hit at least 60 million the first weekend, but after that it seems like a movie that might drop quickly.
I could also see it doing the opposite - a solid but not amazing opening, then a slow build through word of mouth. They are hyping the hell out of it, but its still a movie that not going to have massive appeal - there are no big names attached and as amazing as the graphic novel is, it isn't as widely known as some of the major comic book characters.

Yeah local theaters around here actually are already sold out for Friday I believe. Not sure about Saturday yet.
