Fans are coming out in droves for Zack Snyder's movie version of the groundbreaking graphic novel: The film raked in $4.6 million with Thursday midnight showings, according to Variety, and accounted for 91 percent of Fandango's total ticket sales for the weekend.
But it's not all about the box office. Watchmen is something of a sacred text among the comic book faithful, and Snyder's violent movie version remains fairly faithful to the source material.
"It does what The Dark Knight set out to do, telling a dark story, having you question the morals of the characters," he told Wired.com in an e-mail interview. "It's also the most faithful adaptation of any comic, or anything for that matter! Now it's your turn.
