Variety reports that the recent outbreak of swine flu in Mexico City may hurt the opening of X-Men Origins: Wolverine in the city:

20th Century Fox's "X-Men Origin: Wolverine" is due to open Thursday but the majority of the capital's theaters are likely to be closed. Scores of screens owned by exhibitors Cinepolis, Cinemex, Cinemas Lumiere and Cinemark have gone dark and the remaining chains and indies are expected to follow suit. Cinepolis is also shutting theaters in the states of Mexico and San Luis Potosi. Cinemark and Cinemas Lumiere sites are closed until further notice while others hope to re-open later this week depending on the situation.

If you say you're talking about U.S. Box Office numbers, what does Mexico City have to do with it? It's only a few cities affected here, most from a school trip of kids (20 I believe) that was recently down there, so if you think because of Mexico City's potential box office being down w/people staying in where the flu is More Prevalent, I don't see the connection to it having the same affect in the States. It'll do at least $60+ mil, maybe over $70mil. I'll be there Sunday.

The states closest to mexico will have more and more theaters close to prevent this epidemic from sprading, do you remember the movie theater scene in outbreak?
