Hollywood Reporter has a round up of this weekend openers, lead by the comic-based '30 Days of Night'. Movie theaters have suffered for weeks of soft numbers (compared to this time last year) and with lots of movies opening this weekend, hopes are high for a turn around.
Prominently positioned in that bevy of films, Sony's comic book adaptation "30 Days of Night" is looking strong with young males. Horror fans should flesh out its fanboy base, with young females perhaps responding to the casting of Josh Hartnett and Melissa George in starring roles.
Industryites see "30 Days" easily opening in the high-teen millions.
Yet other films in the competitive fray could show boxoffice flair as well, with young males numbering in potential support for Fox's sports spoof "The Comebacks." The overlap with "30 Days' " core demo is unfortunate, but "Comebacks" should bow somewhere in the double-digit millions.
