So what does Michael, the genius do? Told that Sicily's top assassin, "a man who never fails," is gunning for him, Michael brings his beloved daughter and ex-wife with whom he's trying to reconcile, to sit next to him in a public theater. Three sitting ducks, all in a row. 
Yes, but they never got a shot at them while they were in the opera box. Almost, but between the twins running enough interference, nd George Hamilton getting Michael out of there to tell him about the Pope, was enough to prevent an assassination inside the theater.
Actually,what happened was Vincent's orders to get everyone in the cars fast was not obeyed. If Mary hadn't been standing on the steps slowing everyone down and whining about Michael engineering the break up with Vincent, and had been moving quickly to the cars, maybe they would have gotten away. All of this brings me to think there was more of Kay in Mary than I previously realized.
