Well it has to gross $85 million to make back its budget, and it needs to make roughly $170 million Worldwide to make its costs back (remember since studios only keep about half of a movies gross (55%), movies have to make back roughly
double thier budgets.). It still has alot of work to do. But so far a solid opening.

You know the funny thing is the first
Hellboy actually flopped. It grossed less then $60 million on a $66 million budget. Plus it needed $132 million Worldwide and it grossed less then $100 million.
