I've checked the kid's channels like Cartoon Network and seen a plethora of Speed Racer ads. Friends are telling me their kids, nieces and nephews are totally foaming at the mouth to see it. And kids = parents. So that's a minimum of two tickets per kid. They're also advertising on channels like Dave that are geared at the over-25 crowd who actually saw Speed Racer as kids. I think the teens and young adults might form something of a void in viewership, but there's a chance it will be made up by kids and over-30s. I'm not saying it's a guarantee - since when the the box office ever a guaranttee? - but I do think Speed Racer may just make more than some people expect. I still think it'll do around $150 million domestically and over $300 million foreign.
