    Yeah plus people will be surprised that it is from Stephan King who is mostly only known for horror.

    The Girl on the Train had a surprising opening weekend gross of $25 million. I predict TDT movie will have an opening gross of less than $10 million.

    That's a pretty bold prediction considering the trailer has yet to be released or the marketing machine put in full gear. I think it will do "Alright, Alright, Alright"!!! lol lol

    There's no comparison between the two.

    TGOTT is a slow burning, cerebral mystery-thriller starring a B+ celebrity.

    TDT is an effects heavy blockbuster that you can turn your brain off to and eat popcorn with. As others mentioned, it also satiates the hunger for the next possible Big Hollywood Franchise.

    I'm going to quote you so we can have this conversation again in March

    IMAX screenings should boost the total by at least $5 mil.

    My prediction is in the $25-$30 range.

    Are we talking about a movie's opening box-office pull, or horses at the racetrack?

    I doubt they're going to address the race change in any capacity. It would just confuse everyone and probably offend a few people.

    From those who saw the trailer, anyone know who the girl Walter is manhandling? Is that supposed to be Susan?
    Spoiler:
    That and the bit about "Everyone you loved died by my hand" (when Walter only killed Cuthbert and AFAIK he wasn't directly involved with any other deaths except for arguably Gabrielle's but even then that's something he doesn't take credit for and blames Roland) indicates they're rewriting Roland's past which doesn't jive with this being "canon" with the books.
    A hound will die for you, but never lie to you. And he'll look you straight in the face.

    Seeing Roland lapse into more idiomatic usage of his language when under stress would be appreciated.

    They typically release world wide numbers on the Sunday following the release.
