Instincts seem to have hit about right for WILD

I still wonder if it will drop on Saturday though. Especially considering some of the word of mouth and um the 'style' of the film. I hope it stays close to a push.

Was just about to post it. Thanks. {nm} Mattrek Oct 17, 00:54

So looks like WILD is break even LACTZ, STPFT long and PNACT short. {nm} Mattrek Oct 17, 00:55

Will be interesting is to see what it does next weekend when it expands to even more theaters. {nm} mrbeankc Oct 17, 01:06

Probably $100 million... maybe more. {nm} secretstalker Oct 17, 06:36

PNACT doesnt look like a short to me..? Instro Oct 17, 01:11

Oops my mistake I forgot it was a 3 multiplier and the previous box office, ignore me it's late. {nm} Mattrek Oct 17, 01:13

don't short PNACT! jedi71 Oct 17, 11:19

Now that's more like it. Feeling a bit better now. {nm} mrbeankc Oct 17, 01:04

Just an FYI on yahoo out of 80 written reviews 44 give it a failing grade a 26 give it an A, very little middle ground. {nm} Mattrek Oct 17, 01:15

haha not enough fart jokes for the masses {nm} nero5150 Oct 17, 01:19

It's only "overperforming" if you didn't always think it was going to make more than $35 million (which I did) {nm} secretstalker Oct 17, 05:18

Pffft lies. Your "better instincts" told you other wise {nm} Perfection Oct 17, 07:05

So I'll be 3/4... going long on WILD ended up being the wrong play but I've made so much money from playing it up/down, who cares? secretstalker Oct 17, 05:32

Law Abiding Citizen will eat up my profits from the other 3...and then some. :( {nm} Perfection Oct 17, 07:09

I'd expect a higher multiplier for a kids movie than that. I'm looking to 40+ {nm} Qale Oct 17, 07:47
