News > Superbad opening weekend projections

Written by: Josh Karp 

There's no doubt in anyone's mind that Seth Rogan's upcoming comedic masterpiece Superbad will be a sizeable box office hit. Just how much money it will rake in during the all-important opening weekend, however, is anyone's guess. That anyone, for the time being, is standard industry box office tracking projections…hmmm. Say that one fast. According to the men upstairs, Superbad is projected to pull in roughly $25 million during opening weekend. That's a healthy number for sure, but nothing astronomical. Apparently, at least according to Slash Film, the relatively low projections are due to low polling numbers for Males above 25, couple with the R rating that boxes out the under 18 audience that could make this film into a mega smash. Oh well….it will certainly continue to gain momentum from release date on out, and will crush during DVD season, so wipe that worry off yo face.
