Watchmen's opening figures

[catalyst2]

It looks like Watchmen took US$55 million+ in it's opening weekend, according to Comic Book Resources, a pretty damn good rating, imho but, as the article says, that could still be considered under-performing in some people's eyes. Given how difficult a movie this was to adapt to the screen, I think that's a damn good figure and I have no doubt the DVD sales will be colossal too.
