This is not some big budget franchise like THE AVENGERS or PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN.
2nd weekend numbers with major territories opening up will tell a lot.

It's like an imaginary 6th season of BREAKING BAD if Walt turns himself to DEA for
the Nazis and goes into Witness Protection Program and all of them
can't stand each other while trying to appear as regular family.
Meanwhile Gus Fring people are hunting Walt down for what he
has done to their god-like leader.
MILLERS are OK. But I prefer HEAT better for McCarthy's

$6M on a Fall Season Monday when there is football on TV?

Now they are talking about $300M DOM and God knows how much OS numbers.
