Weekend #13 of 2016 forecasts for films opening wide and major returning films:

NEW FILMS THIS WEEKEND

March 25-27, 2016

 Critics Positive ($ millions)
Opening Weekend Forecast Domestic Total Projection Overseas Total Projection Worldwide Total Projection
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice WB PG13 35% 166.0 395 610 1,005
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 Uni PG13 25% 17.0 49 85 134
Note: Although critic reviews are not related to the size of the opening weekend, they are significantly correlated with the size of the declines in the opening weeks of a movie. The Domestic Total is a very early ShowBuzzDaily projection of the total North American gross, based on the Weekend Forecasts.  The Overseas Total is also a ShowBuzzDaily projection based on similar movies and their performance outside North America.
