A couple of points -

I said it would need to do double the prediction to be considered a big opening - I don't think it will do that much either.

The reason there is no competition in September is because very few people go to the movies in September. This isn't like TV ratings - the movie isn't in competition to become #1 compared to other movies. The only measure of success is how much the movie makes - movies in September don't tend to make that much.

$40-$45 would be an excellent opening - and well above predictions which would also be a help to Dylan's future endeavors. Your predictions of "above average holds" is overly optimistic in my view. Very few movies have pulled off that particular feat in recent memory.
