Not that many in the starting position.  But a few moves into the game, who can
tell?  There must be some data about how many moves a GM considers on average in
middle-game and how many he/she rejects totally.  Computer analysis could give
some (poorer?) answers too.

But is this not something you could use the C.A.P. data to answer, or at least
theorize a little?
