Yeah, its legs are better then Captain America: Civil War now so it will easily make over $400 million domestically over $450 million is probably doable also.  $500 million could be possible if both The BFG and The Secret Life of Pets don't hurt its legs too much.

I have no expectations for BFG. Dahls third most popular book?

Well I probably have no expectations for it either I'm hoping it does better then Disney's first movie adation of a Dahl book James and the Giant Peach since that movie didn't make any money at the box office.  Plus the most recent one Fantastic Mr. Fox didn't make any money at the box office either.  Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory from 1971 really didn't make any money in its orginal run either since its production cost was $3 million and its first run grossed $4 million it was highly successful in its 1996 re release which made $21 million.  Despite not being very good the 2005 remake Charlie and the Chocolate Factory actually was profitable at the box office it had a budget of $150 million and made $475 million.
