"premature epostulation" heh, good one... Well, anyhoo, Terminator (the first) had only stellar reviews. PROME is controversial because of
the high expectations cineasts have when Bladerunner and Alien-Ridley is at it again, with a sci-fi in space flick.
DL: PROME Fri 26/OW 68 (according to rival studios), MADG3 18/57 Jun 08, 16:42
I am going to be on the wrong end of the OW... AGAIN. Geez. {nm} Jun 08, 16:42
You and me both. Two weeks in a row. {nm} Jun 08, 17:07
Derivatives aside, do you play only openers and news, or are you long-term invested in some things? {nm} Jun 08, 18:00
I play a mix of both. I probably won't be playing the OW ever again. {nm} Jun 08, 18:10
Could I get an extra 4M Prometheus? ;) {nm} Jun 08, 16:43
Thats awfully low for MADG3, it should have at least a 18-26-20 weekend.. Just my guess ;-) {nm} Jun 08, 16:49
MADG2 was 17.6-27.5-18.0 in November 2008. {nm} Jun 08, 17:37
yikes!...I swear I only bought one ticket this morning! {nm} Jun 08, 16:50
Wait until you see your credit card bill. There was a slight error. {nm} Jun 08, 20:43
My first million dollar loss...yay! {nm} Jun 08, 16:50
Will readily admit I was wrong on PROME :-), and I'm happy for its success as I enjoyed the movie quite a lot {nm} Jun 08, 17:04
People do that for some reason. One can't help but remember a certain someone who was extremely anti Hunger Games. Jun 08, 19:15
Well, it is pretty easy to take thing personally when you are getting attacked for your opinion. {nm} Jun 08, 21:38
Depends on how you present your opinion. {nm} Jun 09, 00:21
You are a big man to admit you made a mistake in your analysis. I've made more money than I've lost following your analysis. Jun 08, 17:17
As long as I'm beating my wife in the game I don't care is my philosophy {nm} Jun 08, 19:19
My Prometheus comment, based on not having seen the movie, in the body. Jun 08, 21:07
Continued... Jun 08, 21:10
"premature epostulation" heh, good one... Well, anyhoo, Terminator (the first) had only stellar reviews. PROME is controversial because of Jun 10, 14:42
FOX is now predicting 56 {nm} Jun 08, 17:08
"But Fox, the studio that specializes in lowering expectations, disputes thos [sic] numbers." {nm} Jun 08, 17:13
So everyone giving up on the PROME Friday front loading theory already? Jun 08, 17:14
agreed with this. And great for Mad3, opening much better than I anticipated. {nm} Jun 08, 17:28
I hope so cause I forgot to flip the OW. {nm} Jun 08, 18:43
Underpredicted Prometheus by about 10M, but got Madagascar spot on. {nm} Jun 08, 17:29
No, no youdid not. {nm} Jun 10, 06:08
Shorted it at $173.49, covered at $155.15, made my money and got out, if the mediocre WOM is any indication... Jun 08, 17:35
Mediocre? I think WOM is going to be brutal as the film sucked. {nm} Jun 08, 17:43
Hear, hear... {nm} Jun 08, 18:07
I was at 64 PROME / MADG3 62... if those numbers move a bit, this could be my first hit weekend in awhile. {nm} Jun 08, 17:36
My guess is that this is helped by the IMAX/3D gross. With Avengers and now this...now everything will be in IMAX 3D... Jun 08, 19:20
And for once...I was around before halt to take advantage of my theory and long the OW. =) Jun 08, 19:21
Can't say I'm surprised. Everyone I knew was excited about it and I haven't heard a poor thing yet. {nm} Jun 08, 19:44
How about now? Are you surprised now?? :-) {nm} Jun 09, 12:55
Or how about now? {nm} Jun 10, 06:09
DL Update: PROME $21m Fri & $55m Wkend / MADG3 $19.5m Fri & $58m Wkend Jun 08, 22:46
Going double or nothing and shorted again. {nm} Jun 08, 23:44
