One Direction 'This Is Us' Documentary

When you say the two simple words 'One Direction' you are greeted with screams from teenage girls who are in awe of the popular boy band.

With the release of 'This is Us' documentary, which premieres tonight (20.08.13) in Leicester Square, bookmaker Paddy Power has been firmly gripped with 1D mania and has tipped the much-hyped film to take between 65 and 80 million dollars.

With many of the 'Directioners' fighting for the front row seat to watch the highly anticipated film, it has been tipped at 50/1 to be the highest grossing film of all time.

Paddy Power are also offering extremely slim odds of 11/10 that the band will become UK top ten music earners by 2015 and a longer 33/1 that at least one member of the group will be a Forbes-listed billionaire by the end of 2025.

Below is a list of the PaddyPower odds that have been placed ahead of tonights premier:

One Direction: This Is Us
All Time World Wide Box Office Gross

8/1- Under 35 million

8/1- 35.1 to 50 million

13/2- 50.1 to 65 million

6/4- 65.1 to 80 million

2/1- 80.1 to 95 million

7/2- Over 95 million
