140MIL PLUS MUST READ DD

This website forecast at least 140mil for the movie (and this was before the Comic-Con announcement)

Forecast: $140 million

Cowboys & Aliens
Distributor: Paramount/Universal
Schedule: The weekend of August 12 in at least 13 territories, including Russia, Australia, South Korea and most smaller Asian countries before expanding throughout Europe in late August and early September.
Analysis: Cowboys & Aliens faces an uphill battle overseas thanks to the first part of its title and its setting. Westerns rarely play well internationally: even with the help of Johnny Depp, Rango hasn't even reached $120 million yet. Still, alien invasion movies are usually safe bets, and Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford are international stars that will help generate interest. An improvement over recent alien invasion pic Battle: Los Angeles ($118 million) is reasonable, though there's virtually no way Cowboys & Aliens becomes a major overseas hit.
Forecast: $140 million

So what I gather is that if this guy says $160 mil, to expect about 280 mil or more! I'm loading in the morning for sure.
