The highly-anticipated movie based on the creative graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, Watchmen, is hauling in big numbers at the box office after enjoying a 25.1 million opening night - which includes $4.5 million from sold-out midnight showings on Thursday on IMAX screens.

Nikki Finke reports, "The studio is even optimistic about attracting moviegoers from outside Watchmen's sweet spot of males ages 17-to-34. I'm told it's solid across all demos, and even doing well with females."

With a respectable 65% approval rating on Rottentomatoes, the word on the street is that Watchmen is worth the 2 hour, 43 minute investment. Did you see Watchmen yet? What did you think?
