I go based in my own RULES PAL, If I believe a film will expand, I place my bets! Like I did with it Follow and made over $1m cause I had the B()()LLS to follow my own intuition mixed with an understanding for what the audiences want....I may be wrong & that's fine, that's part of the excitement of not knowing...When I want "easy money" I go to Kaigee and go in 1 week before the major adjustments with certainty...Its not fun to know your only gonna win...I like making educated investments based on my own forumla of people involved, concepts, current temperature in society with that particular concept (you can call it its a HOT TOPIC) amongst other variables...you play IT SAFE PAL, I'll play it a little more wilder but lemme tell you this - my way of playing is like RANDY SAVAGE BITING INTO A SLIM JIM - OHHHHHH YEEEEEEAAAAAA! Your way of playing is already sitting in the sauna...HAVE A GOOD ONE CHIEF! I'm riding my EX MACHINA ALL THE way with conviction it will expand, my assumption/precition was always it makes 6-8m within the course of 12weeks, if I'm wrong I'LL OWN IT, if not you missed the WAVE...I don't like jumping on WAVES when they're present...I like getting on as their forming before the other surfers GET ON!

^looks like SPIVT got released, date on the page needs to be updated 4k / 13k in 9 theaters {nm} Oleg Max Apr 11, 05:28

Whoa, totally didn't see that coming from EXMCH, great reviews or not. {nm} RollingThunder Apr 11, 05:43

I *REALLY* hate to say this because of... um... the "HSX HYPE", but I'm not surprised. WOM is insane! {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 11, 06:10

The foremost connoisseur mag of Norway, Montages" issued a stellar review yesterday, calling it an incomparable masterpiece, hyperelegant, Facto Apr 11, 09:20

Wondering if Aleks learned a lesson about box office and movies we 'know' will be great. {nm} tatoufan Apr 11, 08:23

Alex, you said 6 to 8 opening weekend. No one ever questioned the movie had potential, you just didn't understand how a24 Moviesnob Apr 11, 13:09

look at Ex Macina's prices now! KUNG=PAO CHICKEN EXPLOSIVE hotness! Listen to me & you will FLOURiSH to new HSX HEIGHTS! {nm} aleksthegreat Apr 11, 17:29

I'll have whatever this guy's smoking - it seems to be the strongest there is. {nm} Facto Apr 11, 17:50

Don't you just love when someone changes their prediction and pretends it was that all along. Their is a big difference between 6-8 mil OW a {nm} JDolphin Apr 11, 14:18

and 6-8 mil for 12 weeks. {nm} JDolphin Apr 11, 14:20

Don't Hate the playa...Hate the game or institution! BOW DOWN THE FORTUNE TELLER! {nm} aleksthegreat Apr 11, 17:31

HOW DARE YOU, I've been predicting the 6-8M opening all along, since I started promoting this soon to be BEST FILM OF THE YEAR pick! SuckA {nm} aleksthegreat Apr 11, 17:30

OW = opening weekend. per DL, Ex Machina is projected to make $186,000 - that is nowhere near $6 million {nm} JDolphin Apr 11, 17:40

YOU LACK VISION! Keep flexing your little muscle & drinking your Protein Milk it won't help your VISION! {nm} aleksthegreat Apr 11, 09:18

Is that a movie quote, somehow? Ps. Most or all scenery shots in Ex Machina were shot in Western Norway. In the film, it's "just" an unnamed Facto Apr 11, 09:29

Does that answer your question? LOL! Stop feeding the sleeper-trolls, Tatou :) {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 11, 09:22

I DOn'T LIKE CLOOOWNS! But I'm anticipating IT! aleksthegreat Apr 11, 09:25

Here's a tip. Long IT now and hold it. It's going to be huge. Don't worry about all the money you lose in the meantime because you don't Monkeytrader Apr 11, 16:02

Damn.. Done gone and got MonkeyTrader in on it now.. {nm} Dorfman Apr 11, 18:30

Heh. Doubling down rather than making nice. Interesting choice. {nm} RogerMore Apr 11, 11:05

Oh, my...Talk about unexpected. ;-) {nm} tatoufan Apr 11, 12:47

Oh, my...Talk about unexpected. ;-) {nm} tatoufan Apr 11, 12:47

Keep with it, you'll figure it out someday. {nm} tatoufan Apr 11, 12:46

Those #'s remind me a lot of another title "it follows" that had 4 theaters+$160K gross...Hmmmm, could the same distribution company that aleksthegreat Apr 11, 09:22

(Absolutely nothing to read here. Waste of time-alert.) {nm} Facto Apr 11, 09:58

Radius/Weinstein distributed 'It Follows' not A24 {nm} JDolphin Apr 11, 14:22

Nice .OW prediction {nm} Canis Apr 11, 12:26

Why Thank you Sir {nm} aleksthegreat Apr 11, 17:33

I have trouble seeing EXMCH getting anywere near more than 2 millions in the entire run(inside) mattep74 Apr 12, 07:04

The film really doesn't have broad appeal. It's not for fly-over country, it's not for popcorn-munching yahoos. {nm} Facto Apr 12, 07:29

In short, it's not one for the eloi........ {nm} Facto Apr 12, 07:33
