BOX OFFICE: OZ: THE GREAT & POWERFUL Grosses $2 Million In Midnight Showings
With a $80-100M opening weekend gross on the horizon, Disney's Oz: The Great & Powerful has earned an impressive $2M in Thursday night/midnight runs for one of the biggest March debuts in history.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney's 3D fantasy epic Oz: The Great & Powerful has grossed $2 million in its opening on Thursday night. This is an impressive gross, and the Sam Raimi-directed prequel is expected to gross somewhere in between $80M and $100M according to pre-release tracking. However, Disney is predicting a smaller $75M due to the bleak performances of other films domestically. Oz will likely gain the third highest March opening of all time, behind last year's The Hunger Games ($152.5M) and 2010's Alice In Wonderland ($116.1M). The latter, another Disney fantasy adventure, grossed $3.9M in its midnight runs. Do you plan on seeing Oz: The Great & Powerful this weekend?
