Released to mixed reviews,
Immortals still managed to earn an impressive $1.3 million at 1,024 midnight showings. This just about tops the amount taken by
Rise of the Planet of the Apes back in August and easily bests the $700,000 earned by Battle: Los Angeles during its debut. Today, the movie opens in 3,100 locations across the US.
It faces competition from
Jack and Jill,
Puss in Boots and may even be dealt a small blow by Clint Eastwood's
J. Edgar. The site mention that
Immortals, which stars
Man of Steel's Henry Cavill as well as Mickey Rourke, Stephen Dorff, Freida Pinto and Luke Evans, has scored high at test screenings and also opened in a variety of international locations today.
Relativity insiders reveal that
Immortals only has to open to $25 million for the studio to be on a secure financial footing with tracking currently suggesting somewhere between $25 million to $26 million.
