(AP) --  "Oz the Great and Powerful," Disney's $200 million prequel to the beloved 1939 classic, is expected to get a good - but not great and powerful - start down the yellow brick road to profitability.

As film opens this weekend in nearly 4,000 domestic theaters, it is estimated to pull in $80 million gross.
