Box Office: The Two Towers

Finally just saw some very preliminary estimates for TTT for Wednesday:

$27.5 Million.

A stunning figure for a 3 hour film opening on a weekday. If accurate, that would place the opening as the 13th highest single day figure, and second highest Wednesday opening.

Predictions for the 3/5 day totals placed the movie anywhere from 87 to 120 M (Yes, that high number looks unrealistic to me as well). A strong Wednesday opening was a critical factor in pushing towards the $100M mark.

If the opening number holds, TTT has an excellent chance of clearing $100 in five days, possibly even making $110, although again the running time makes that number difficult. There is certainly a chance, though slight, of crossing $100 in 4 days, only a day more than Spiderman took. Thursday & Friday numbers will tell the tale on that.

I’d stress this number is preliminary, and very subject to change.
More info as as it becomes available.

Just saw Hollywood Reporter…boffo in Britain as well!

I don’t think Mr. Jackson has to worry about the film breaking even.

I probably should have mentioned this was the US domestic.

I have also seen a report that this shattered the record for an opening day in Germay.
