Australia: $22 to 24 million in its first five days with roughly $15 to 17 million of that over the three-day weekend. Word-of-mouth among older moviegoers could help this gross as much as $70 to 75 million by the time it leaves theaters.

Transporter 3: $17 to 19 million over the five-day weekend with roughly $11 to 12 of that over the three-day weekend, but it will probably end up with less than $40 million total.
