According to those who have seen pre-release tracking, Hobbit could open in the $75 million to $90 million range domestically. Reviews have been mixed in the U.S., however.

The movie, based on the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien, is the first in a planned trilogy, and takes place 60 years before the events chronicled in Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.

So 'The Hobbit' is expected to take between $75 and $90 million domestically this weekend. To add some perspective, the opening weekend of 'Fellowship' grossed $47 million, 'Two Towers' grossed $62 million and 'Return of the King' grossed $72 million. This also might be an excuse to talk about the movie for those who went to the midnight. Thank you for your time.
