I hope the bean counters at Alcon and Sony take into account it's a 3 hour movie and cut it a little slack. Obviously it was a conscious decision on their part to not edit it down, but at 3 hours it's gonna lose a showing every day. A $30 million opening would be like a $45 million opening for a 2 hour movie. That $400 million number they threw out there is a little scary though, I wonder in movie history how many 3-hour + movies have hit that mark. I think this movie will eventually make money down the line, but it's doubtful to me they will hit the $400m mark they are needing. Sad, this movie is so much more cerebral than all those super-hero movies that get shat out every year. I applaud them for taking the risk to make this movie, but if this movie doesn't do well it's just going to give studios more reason to do super-hero and transformer sequels instead of new IPs, which is sad to me.
