I don't know what made some people believe she would open with over 400k. And what's even more delusional some people were even predicting 700k a few weeks ago

Well it was HDD that said industry experts were predicting she had a shot at outdoing Eminem's 750K, so 400k and 700k were not plucked out of nowhere.
Also, her label orchestrated the most perfect promo, starting when they got Maxim to name her the Hottest Woman Alive. Actually, even before - when she guest-judged on American Idol. Ever since then, she has literally been everywhere, not just performing but also hosting.
She also has two monster hit singles.
And due to her engagement to Russell Brand, her profile and celebrity have been boosted by being part of a "Hollywood couple."
These were all reasons some of us were predicting 400k/700k.
