Matt
Damon
is
all
set
to
take
us
to
a
trip
to
the
Mars
in
'The
Martian',
and
show
us
on
October
2nd,
2015,
how
he
survives
when
he
is
left
for
dead
in
the
red
planet.
The
Martian
is
hitting
theaters
this
week
and
is
without
any
doubt
going
to
open
with
a
good
box
office
collections.
Ridley
Scott's
star-studded
The
Martian
is
releasing
in
3,826
North
American
theaters
on
Friday.
Although
it
will
top
the
charts
with
its
box
office
collections,
the
question
that
arises
is,
how
much.
Twentieth
Century
Fox,
the
studio
behind
the
film,
is
being
more
conservative
and
pegging
an
opening
in
the
low
$40
million
range,
while
some
rivals
are
predicting
the
film
could
climb
as
high
as
$50
million,
reports
Variety.
Space
themed
movies
are
always
a
big
hit
at
the
box
office.
Be
it
2014's
Interstellar
or
2013's
Gravity,
movies
which
take
us
out
of
the
Earth
creates
waves
in
the
theaters
especially
if
released
with
3D
effects.
Christopher
Nolan's
Interstellar
debuted
to
$47.5
million
domestically
while
Alfonso
Cuaron's
Gravity
opened
to
$55.8
million.
Based
on
Andy
Weir's
best-selling
book,
The
Martian
is
already
creating
a
lot
of
buzz
and
curiosity
to
see
how
astronaut
Mark
Watney
(Matt
Damon)
will
survive
in
the
red
planet
with
no
water
and
food
to
last
for
4
years
till
the
NASA
team
comes
to
take
him
back
home.
The
Martian
also
stars
Jessica
Chastain,
Chiwetel
Ejiofor,
Kristen
Wiig,
Jeff
Daniels,
Michael
Peña,
Kate
Mara,
Sean
Bean,
Sebastian
Stan
and

Hennie.
