Yeah, actually, I think I'm going to be wrong...
From Variety: Just two weeks after suffering B.O. debacle "Battleship," Universal is seeking swift salvation from "Snow White and the Huntsman" -- though instead it appears the studio is bracing for another round of damage control as it projects a weekend gross in the low- to mid-$30 millions.
With tracking off lately, Universal's seemingly lowball figure could wind up being right. That would prove highly unfortunate for U, given "Huntsman's" production cost, which some sources peg even higher than the reported $170 million. International B.O. will help -- pic launches day-and-date this weekend in 45 territories -- but a soft Stateside bow will spell trouble for the pic, putting it in the company of this year's growing string of misfires, including "Battleship," Disney's "John Carter" and, to a lesser degree, Sony's "Men in Black 3."
Don't know why. Or maybe they're going low to later say that it's a bigger it than they thought. Either way, I really want to see it.
