Batman is also going to benefit substantially from all the IMAX theatres it is opening in. To Pelagius' re: it doing well in spite of the economy, movies are often immune from economic hardships that hit other industries. In fact, in some cases the worse things are the more likely the public will be to escape to the movies.
I will say that I don't think that it will top Spidey 3, partly because none of those top five opened against another movie. They were the only thing going that weekend. That said, I am becoming more convinced that those who are predicting Mama Mia to do $25M this weekend are off a good 7-10M. I think that Batman will suck all the air out of it.
