You could stop playing at 1pm. If you are right, speculation and fluctuation won't matter. {nm}

Posted by: islander (a.k.a TogetherFund) on Oct 14, 18:55 in response to TheWeekendWarrior's post You know, I have a REAL issue with the guy runs this...

THR: FTLOS early projections $20M. No THING and BIGYR based on early box office Antibody Oct 14, 15:49

That article seems to say low-teens (11-13) for Thing and "could be" under 5 for Big Year, no? {nm} Ruthian23 Oct 14, 15:51

Maybe, I had read them as expectations, not projections. {nm} Antibody Oct 14, 15:52

Yeah, I read them the same way, still as expectations instead of projections from early matinee {nm} xiayun Oct 14, 15:59

Well, regarding The Thing they say that it's "on course to gross in the low teens for the weekend, in line with pre-release expectations." Ruthian23 Oct 14, 16:07

V: Footloose "north of 15M," Thing "just north of 13M,", Big Year 3-5M. Ruthian23 Oct 14, 16:15

V says FTLOS has made nearly $1 mill as of this afternoon, THING 475k as of mid afternoon. {nm} Paul2k Oct 14, 16:18

You know, I have a REAL issue with the guy runs this game/these boards posting weekend speculation on box office... TheWeekendWarrior Oct 14, 16:50

Huh? This is news, and information flows freely. Takre it up with DL, THR or Variety if you have a problem with their speculation. {nm} Antibody Oct 14, 16:58

News? You are kidding right? I say wild guesses where sites' attempt to be first to post some sort of numbers. {nm} grammar Oct 14, 17:19

News as in published information. {nm} Antibody Oct 14, 20:35

News is confirmed, while speculation is just that. Didn't you have an issue with TB because of their inside info they were posting as news? {nm} skamanfu Oct 14, 17:35

News as in published information. "Trade with any information you can find." Antibody Oct 14, 20:39

No offense, D, but considering how controversial this information has been, you might want to stay out of this one. TheWeekendWarrior Oct 14, 20:42

What's the difference? This free, disseminating information will be posted anyways. {nm} Antibody Oct 14, 20:49

I let you post RS, which is not widely available and has the worst accuracy, and your post always moves the stock prices. {nm} Antibody Oct 14, 21:02

This is true... but RS tracking has been posted here for years... TheWeekendWarrior Oct 14, 21:26

I don't have any problem with TB. I post their scoops. See BRLNT. Some get verified, some don't. {nm} Antibody Oct 14, 20:44

And how is it news when THR reports $20M while at the same time V reports $15M? That's a HUGE difference to call it news. {nm} skamanfu Oct 14, 17:37

that's where your noodle is at work.. you have to sift thru the garbage and find gold! {nm} Oleg Max Oct 14, 17:40

Have you been paying to the last week's complaints about this very thing you posted? TheWeekendWarrior Oct 14, 20:34

i have no problems w/ anyone posting first guestimates... even if its DMac. who cares? maybe those who have early access to Rentrack Oleg Max Oct 14, 17:39

Yeah, if it wasn't him today, it would have been someone else a few minutes later, no? {nm} Ruthian23 Oct 14, 18:31

you betcha!, or toldja! or Paul2K, or me, or anyone else who cares about this or any other weekend's gross as of Friday Night around 2PM ET! Oleg Max Oct 14, 18:38

You could stop playing at 1pm. If you are right, speculation and fluctuation won't matter. islander Oct 14, 18:55

+1 {nm} Oleg Max Oct 14, 19:04

Wait...you mean "halt" trading at 1pm on openers? Madness! Sheer madness! {nm} Catzan Oct 14, 19:15

The Big Year. HAHAHAHA That had the worst marketing campaign I've seen in a while. thatpj Oct 14, 19:31

what marketing campaign??? I only saw a tiny teaser about two weeks ago. prior to that, nada. {nm} Oleg Max Oct 14, 19:33

Well yeah, that too. I was talking about the two conflicting tv spots I saw specifically {nm} thatpj Oct 14, 19:35

if only one knew what you were talking about... if only 1 had a chance to see what was inside your head and the 2 conflicting tv Oleg Max Oct 14, 19:53

for clarification: links to TV spots maybe? ... {nm} Oleg Max Oct 14, 19:54

Didn't think I'd be given the Nth degree for something anyone can see at anytime on TV. {nm} thatpj Oct 14, 21:46

Heck, you can read the reviews on RT and see what I am talking about. It ain't that hard. {nm} thatpj Oct 14, 21:50
