It's entirely possible there's another 10 million or so overseas. And it's looking like about 85% of the audience was women. I'll have a monthly estimate recap soon.

It certainly wasn't drawing in any men -- the showing I saw (sold out 2 days in advance) had maybe 5 men in a 400 seat theater. It was almost all thirtysomething women, dressed up for martini and movie nights. I just heard that SatC opened at $65 million or so, but that might be worldwide numbers, I’m not sure.

However, in comparison to other big RomComs, it doesn't really have anyone who'd drag in the men. While it could skew higher than expected, I'm still not sure it can reach super heights. I could be wrong, though. Titanic showed that there's significant market power in catering to females. I haven't done a comparison, yet. But that's probably a good idea. It’s possible.

I've had 3 different women approach me about planning girls movie nights for my women's social club for opening weekend -- it's a serious event movie for a certain segment of women. Out of curiousity, do you have a summary of how last year's movies actually did against your predictions? I wonder if you might be underestimating SatC’s opening a little.
