I feel like the marketting frenzy peaked a week early. I am starting to read articles that suggest to me the real advertizing thrust is

Over.  I expect to see a little interest wane from frenzy fatigue.  IMHO, HGAME would have made slightly more if it had opened this weekend...even 115, but now i don't feel the same about its OW potential.  One can't keep the mob mentality alive for a prolongued period.  People just lose energy.  See football games, riots, sports championships that took to the streets, etc... Even without police intervention, the mob just deflates and goes away except for the hard core.

I'm not saying that HGAME won't be huge by its own standard, simply that every day from here is a loss of potential revenue IMHO.  What they need is a last minute thrust to reinvigurate the masses.  If that happens, we'll be back to 100%.  if they don't, we will be less.  And then, of course, there's whateverRS says ;)

It's official, we now believe that HGAME will open larger than Alice in Wonderland (116.1), the all time best weekend open in March! {nm} PVL Admin Mar 18, 14:59

According to D. Mac, it will open bigger than Twilight and Katniss Everdeen is the 2012 equivalent of Jesus Christ. TheWeekendWarrior Mar 18, 15:35

:) {nm} PVL Admin Mar 18, 15:36

Then why didn't it open on December 21st? :P {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Mar 18, 15:37

Twilight opened to $69.64...I think its doable {nm} RazorHawk Mar 18, 15:39

The sequels... see his posts like the one on the Feedback board in response to the OW price. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 18, 15:45

you dont think it can adjust to $312.50? {nm} RazorHawk Mar 18, 15:52

Is that a private joke referring to the adjust price of PASON? {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Mar 18, 15:53

My Jesus Christ bit was. If he's going to keep bringing it up, I'll gladly misquote him :) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 18, 15:56

Maybe I should be the one misquoting in that manner though :P {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Mar 18, 16:01

Blasphemy is not restricted to the converted :) {nm} PVL Admin Mar 18, 16:08

LOL! Best post of the day! {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Mar 18, 16:10

PASON adjusted to $234.78; a private joke to WW would reference rodents; $312.50 is an unrelated public HSX joke {nm} RazorHawk Mar 18, 15:56

It was a (serious) prediction for MISS2 {nm} RogerMore Mar 18, 18:47

312.50 has become the go to number (a public joke) for a long time now... RazorHawk Mar 18, 19:29

Yes - like I said, it has been around since MISS2. {nm} RogerMore Mar 18, 19:43

this memorial day, it will have been 312.50 fortnights since miss2 was released in theaters! {nm} islander Mar 18, 20:10

I always wondered what a 'fortnight' was {nm} RazorHawk Mar 18, 22:40

I never said that. In fact, I have yet to post a prediction because that is my bread and butter and I won't post it here for free. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 18, 15:55

+1. Well said. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Mar 18, 16:00

According to you, HGAME was going to open around 70M. {nm} Antibody Mar 19, 09:44

Keep printing me money! {nm} thatpj Mar 18, 16:04
