The U.K. results that Rufus posted on the last board probably supports that mid-to-high 30s number (math inside) ...

The link Rufus gave had Robocop making 2.4M pounds for the (presumably) 3-day weekend in the U.K.

I checked the Total Recall opening weekend in the U.K. and it was identical (about $3,955,000 per BoM * .61 pound conversion today = $2.41M).  That was August not February, but the point is both movies had identical grosses.  So...

It's reasonable to look at the Total Recall results in the U.S. and Canada as a guide. That OW (again, 3-day in August) was $25,577,758.  If the same equivalence happens with Robocop, we would expect $25.58M for its Fri-Sun total if it were a normal 3-day.

Wednesday and Thursday will tend to reduce the weekend, but awareness of the early opening may be low and the Sunday should also be higher because of Monday being a holiday. MTC predicts $28M for the 3-day (per notfabio on the last board), which is in the same 3-day ballpark as the $25.58M.

Then there's Monday itself.  It seems reasonable that the Wed, Thu and Mon totals would easily take the $25.58M (or MTC's $28M) 3-day to the 6-day of $35M+ the tracking numbers suggest.
