Good read. I'm very torn on the film's prospects, personally, but I think it should at least reach the $55-60m status quo for its opening.

I am not sold yet on it yet either but 40 seems quite low. The trailers look bad and it does have Evans but 40 still seems low.

Not sure I buy the Weaving argument. All the movies you cited had a built-in audience already and probably would've done as well w/o him.
