"tangentally" political did much better. My opinion is that drawing political tangents doesn't hurt, but direct political plots do. It is a small sample...so maybe not conclusive enough...but it is what my gut tells me. Good discussion, thanks for the banter.  Smile 

The Grinch is having an amazing run. Look at those legs. Huge win for the film, it's beaten down both the Potter film and Ralph as well. Goodvibe61 Dec 21, 13:24

Do you own actual stock in the movie? {nm} EdwardHavens Dec 21, 22:08

OK. Thanks for everything. Geez. So i guess the bottom line: lots of Grinch haters around here. Good to know. {nm} Goodvibe61 Dec 22, 09:43

The Post went wide in January, had strong legs and $80M is in line with expectations set by eg Bridge of Spies, Charlie Wilson’s War etc RogerMore Dec 23, 10:18

DL commented that Universal needed Grinch since Mortal and Marwen are duds thus far. Glad it is doing well, too. =) {nm} Catzan Dec 22, 11:58

they dumped Green Book to make room for Mortal (which isnt even theirs) and Marwen. They could have sold out shows of GB, but they have two Moviesnob Dec 22, 13:18

It's deja vu all over again. When I started with HSX, GRNCH was piling on 65M after delisting at 195 and GRNHW delisted at 114.... Buy BONDS xXx Dec 23, 06:45
