It’s the first wide-appeal, brand-name cartoon to come out since last summer, so the lackluster box office take of the superior “Boxtrolls” and “The Book of Life” is no indicator for how “Big Hero 6” will do.

It’s an action-packed Marvel sci-fi superhero Disney version of anime, and could hook a whole new generation on Marvel product, which is sort of the idea.

It should win the weekend, but will “Big Hero 6” clear $60 million? Maybe.

Box Office Mojo figures this one will be neck and neck with the far LONGER and more adult “Interstellar,” which BOM figures will hit $58 million. It opened, well, well-ENOUGH on Wed. in IMAX limited release. Doing OK. Will it blow up Friday night, enough to compensate for “Big Hero 6” having a huge kids-out-of-school Saturday?

BOM thinks $60 for “Hero,” $58 for “Interstellar.”

“Big Hero 6” earned better reviews than Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar,” but not by much.

So the Box Office Guru parses recent Disney toon releases (“Wreck it Ralph,” etc.) and thinks “Big Hero” could do $55-58. He’s guessing $53 for “Interstellar.”

Box office has been way down this fall, nothing really blowing up. So the lower end of expectations seems more in line, to me. I would bet they’ll be battling for a win at around the $50 million mark. PEnt up animation demand or Fanboy devotion (they’ll go for both) should prop them up, but it’s as if the season — politics, other distractions — have put a damper on filmgoing, quality of the product notwithstanding.
