Aquaman, Bumblebee, Spider-Man and Mary Poppins will take way much more $$$ than this IMO... too bad...

My guess (on a $100M budget:
Opening: $15M
Domestic: $40-50M
Worldwide: $100-125M

You might be right on this. Internationally this could do not too bad.

I got to see this today and I thoroughly enjoyed this, more so than some of the big name blockbusters released this year
Visually gorgeous movie, presenting a wonderful steampunk visual of a post apocalyptic world. It reminded me of a world similar to an old anime series called "Last Exile" (one of my favourites)
Its a shame this isn't going to get the same level of exposure/recognition some of the other big releases will be getting this month.

Spoiler: movie spoiler

The moving cities looked impressive, especially the bigger predator cities .. well of London, as that was the only one they showed .
It would have been nice if we'd seen some of other predator cities and some large scale combat between them.

Btw, towards the end, I could help noticing as the plot unfolded, it was borrowing from another well known sci-fi favourite, from a galaxy far far away ....

A group of friends dragged me along to see this tonight. It's one of the worst films I've ever seen at the cinema. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
