WATCHMEN movie, the 2009 Official trailer may reach $70 million in its ticket sales during its debut and a Box Office Hit lifting its revenue for a 5th consecutive weekend.

In an interview, Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. President for Domestic Theatrical Distribution said: "The film generated about $4.55 in sales from midnight shows." The sales prompted Steve Mason, Film Analyst of Big Hollywood.com to lift his forecast from $63 million to $70 million, said in an email today.

The movie from Time Warner, based on the 1986 award-winning graphic novel, is this week's only new wide release and will open in 3,611 U.S. and Canadian theaters, the most for any R-rated film, according to Fellman. The studios "300," also based on a graphic novel, holds the record for the biggest March opening with $70.9 million in 2007 according to researcher Box Office Mojo LLC. Zack Znyder directed both films.

As of yesterday, "WATCHMEN" accounted for 91 percent of Fandango's current sales.

WATCHMEN was named by Time magazine as one of the best novels of all time. The story, set during a time of tense Cold War relations between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, follows superheroes as they uncover a deadly conspiracy.
