That means all of March's major blockbusters either met expectations or exceeded them, impressive? I think so!

I think if that happens, March will become the new May as far as the summer blockbuster season goes. Then again, I think that if people wanna see a movie, they'll see it regardless of whenever it comes out.

Variety estimates it will open to $25 million, which is low given the budget ($110 million). Hopefully the numbers pick up.

I think Ghost in the Shell will be the one film to underperform. Last week we saw Power Rangers make 10 million more than predicted. This week I see Ghost in the Shell making somewhere in the mid 20 million range, and maybe even slip to the low 20s.

Deadline is reporting $23 million, so the movie needs to make it big overseas.

Looks like GiTS is under performing in America at least. Far below the R-rated Lucy movie, with the white-washed casting not surprising some fans skipped when they have the animated film to watch.

I called it. Deadline now reports Ghost in the Shell estimated at 20.5 million for the weekend. I wouldn't be shocked if that number fell slightly more by the time we get the actuals on Monday.

You must live in an alternative universe where most ticket buyers pay attention to politics. The fact that there is some political bs around it might have sacred away a significant number of people, but i doubt it's more concrete than that. |

How many of them would be upset about the supposed whitewashing? |
