After the largest R rated release of 3,611 theaters, Watchmen pulled in $24.9m yesterday, with $4.6m coming from midnight showings.   It looks like it won’t manage to beat The Dark Knight’s $155m from opening weekend with $18.5m coming from midnight showings alone.  Just puts things into perspective doesn’t it?   Now all you Watchmen fanboys can get over yourselves.

Update: Watchmen pulled in 55m this weekend.
