How Much Will "Snow White and the Huntsman" Gross in its Opening Weekend?

WE GOT a Snow White earlier this year in the decidedly upbeat “Mirror, Mirror.” And now we’ll change the tone with “Snow White and the Huntsman,” which reimagines the formerly passive character as a warrior set on taking down the evil Queen Ravenna. Kristin Stewart – hopefully displaying more acting chops than her “Twilight” sulking and lip-biting – will play a fleeing Snow White as the Queen (Charlize Theron), sends the Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) to kill her. The Huntsman takes pity on Snow and instead teaches her the skills she needs to overthrow the Queen. This is definitely Snow White for an older audience, with a bleak, moody setting and color palette – and Theron describing her character as “serial killer-like.” While Theron will probably have a more flattering makeup job than in her last serial killer role, we see this as an edgy and very grown-up twist on fairy tales not unlike the recent (and fairly successful) “Grimm” and “Once Upon a Time” on television. What remains to be seen is if Stewart can carry a film that isn’t about sparkly vampires — and we’re interested to find out. Look for a strong-but-not-great $35 million for Stewart’s first popcorn flick outside of the “Twilight” franchise. 4/23/2012

Mirror mirror on the wall I'd say a little more than what's said However let the Huntsman warn Snow White about the apple red Snow take your bow and arrow aim for the evil queens head We'll see what the Huntsman has taught you And if the evil queen will be well--dead... Then there will be no more mirrors on the wall cause Snow White will now be a little richer than all....at least by 35mil

I'm a bit puzzeled by this one and was a little iffy on how to bet. I have no plans to see this movie in theaters, but I will rent it on DVD when available. With that said, if friends called me and invited me to see this movie with them, I would be okay with the choice. It could go either way, blockbuster or dud.

Betting this one goes down in flames. Nothing original here.

Changed my own bet on this one...not so sure...not thinking that this will go big, but the odds we are getting seems to be a low number, so this one is a hard call.

Judging by the cast, I think the film will pull in more money than what it's slated to make. Stewart is pretty big with the Twilight audience. Hemsworth, if he's not already a big deal, is gaining popularity with the success of the Avengers. Theron is well known by most people and a pretty good actress. Not to mention, her new film, Prometheus, is going to keep her in the spotlight for awhile. If we're just going based off of how Snow White and the Huntsman looks, it seems like it'll be a solid film. I don't plan to watch it. But if I had to watch one film that's coming out soon (excluding Prometheus), I would take a chance on Snow White and the Huntsman.
