User blog:Ceauntay/'Will & Grace 2' earns $6.1 million in midnight shows

Will & Grace 2 got off to a strong start at the box office last night featuring the return of the main cast including newcomers Robert Pattinson and Bruno Mars!

According to Warner Bros., the romantic comedy sequel earned $6.1 million from 2,500 theaters last night. It became the biggest midnight gross of the year since last month's The Avengers, which brought $18.7 million behind The Hunger Games ($19.7 million) for setting the best debut of the year.

By comparison, the original Will & Grace grossed only $4 million in midnight showings two years ago and went up to make $70 million in its opening weekend. The sequel has surprised it by nearly 20%.

When critics says that Will & Grace 2 is better than the original film, it is predicting to open to $30 to $45 million. I say $32 million! But sadly, that's a much lower opening than the original film has opened two years ago ($70 million), and has became a huge success earning a total of $167.4 million.
