Watchmen Wins The Battle, Not The War
Mon, March 9, 2009 
As expected "Watchmen" won the weekend completely burning up their competition. Not expected, by WB and many other websites is the 55 Million + take. This number is nothing to sneeze at but WB was projecting 60's and many box office predictions from sites around the interwebs were predicting 70+ for Zack Snyder's comicbook film. It fell right into the 50-60 Million range that I expected and I am sure the drop will be at or above 60% next weekend.

What did I say, 54 mil. That's pretty damn close.
Actually yeah...you did. Maybe you need to do box office.
