The sky is not falling. Tomorrowland opened to 41.7M over the 4 day weekend, a number that is pretty fantastic considering how four other films did this weekend, and that Tomorrowland is technically an original film and not based on previous source material or a sequel. It’s based on a section of a theme park, which really means it shouldn’t be considered an adaptation. A B cinemascore is going to hurt it more in the long run. Poltergeist also opened, and got a C+ cinemascore, which is pretty par for the course for that type of film.
