this -- at least $200 million in its opening weekend, possibly topping "jurassic park's" $208.8 million debut this year. last month, fandango said it sold eight times as many pre-sale tickets for "star wars." as for the previous record holder, "the hunger games," no movie has ever made $100 million in its opening weekend during the month of september. speaking of which, the christmas village opens in philadelphia's love park this beak end. it will be open saturday and sunday and then close for a few days before it reopens on thanksgiving. after that it stays open through december 27. we've got a forecast that's going to be pretty good for outdoor activities for a good while. you just have to dress properly and you'll be okay. we've got colder winds coming in

here. a chilly weekend. we'll have the outlook all the way to thanksgiving and even to black friday. clear skies right now, a lot of blue in the skies, way different than yesterday. 54 degrees. we've got winds of 16 gusting to 23 miles an hour. these are northwest winds and they are pretty strong. these are sustained winds 16 miles an hour in philadelphia. 17 in dovero. that's keeping the colder air in here. 49 in reading right now and in coatesville 47 in lancaster. 53 in trenton wilmington 52 in washington township, 55 in wrightstown and the land breeze is 56 in beach haven. it won't be even that warm as we head into the weekend. sunday with the marathon it will

be chilly and perhaps fairly cro crowdy and as we go through the morning, maybe seeing more sunshine, still quite chilly, a bit of a wind, too, 10, 15 miles an hour there. by the time the eagles get to play, the wind may be stronger even, 10 to 20 miles an hour. temperatures well below average and the wind could potentially affect the kicking game, maybe even the passing games and definitely a colder game than what we saw last weekend. we have dry weather that will stay dry. watch what happens with that system to the west. it brings a few clouds in here as we go go into saturday night. maybe a couple showers saturday night and then the whole thing just fall ace part as we go into sunday. so just to give you an idea of

what we're looking at, this is a computer model giving expected rainfall all the way into black friday. the total amount of rain, zero. so we're talking about a dry weather pattern overall. it's going to start off kind of cold as we go through the weekend but then just as we get towards thanksgiving it gets a little warmer so we'll end november pretty warm. sunny skies, breezy, temperatures into the mid-50s which is right around average for this time of the year. same thing tomorrow for the cold start, colder than it's been and a cold wind on sunday for the eagles game, highs only in the 40s. 40s on monday. but each day it gets a little warmer. by wednesday back to the normal temperatures, 54. and by thanksgiving day and black friday it looks like 60 plus. we'll be right back.
