That represents a drop from the $63.1 million—$69.5 million when adjusting for inflation—haul of 2008's Madagascar 2: Escape to Africa. The age/sex breakdown is 54% under 25/46% over 25 and 56% female/44% male.

20th Century Fox reports that Prometheus took in $21.4 million on Friday and $16.1 million on Saturday, putting it on pace for $50 million.

More than 80,000 Flixster users have combined to give Prometheus a respectable 75% combined approval rating.
