Epic is closing in on $100 million. How far past that will it get? Who knows? As for the pictures on the top rung:

Superman Returns's (2006) five-day debut adjusts to $102 million; if Man of Steel hits that in three days, it's off to a very good start. Meanwhile, if This is the End exceeds $30 million through five days, it's also in solid shape. ...

Mojo's speculation is already out-dated, as MOS will take more than $100 million and the Rogen comedy will also do quite nicely.
