"Heroes: The New Heroes" was expected to gross in a north $150 million or more over the weekend because tickets has sold out everywhere. That's another movie this month after "Scooby-Doo! The 2nd Movie" and "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2" to have gross more than $130 million. Currently, the biggest opening of the month goes to "Doo".

Emma Roberts and Zac Efron are back together for the second installment of the popular books they were based on writen by Joanne White. Opening around $150 million is a very huge number for a film from Warne Bros. If the movie open that big, the third movie will be on the way.

It will set a new opening weekend record for a Thanksgiving, November and holiday releases. It will also be in line with "The Avengers" ($207.4 million), "The Dark Knight Rises" ($160.8 million) and "The Hunger Games" ($152.2 million), and bigger than "Breaking Dawn Part 2" ($141.1 million).

That will beat the Thanksgiving record held by its predecessor "Heroes: A New Beginning" from last year after earning $122 million in its opening weekend, also the previous record for a non-sequel before being defeated by "The Hunger Games" in March 2012.

Tonight, the film opens in 3,990 screens, and around 4,215 theaters nationwide. It is playing to 332 IMAX theaters, and around 505 IMAX screens worldwide starting on November 23, 2012.
