The thinking "It can't possibly open lower than this" is pretty tempting.

I've found that "if you think a movie can't open lower, it probably will" is a good rule of thumb.

ERC: George Clooney's THE MONUMENTS MEN (MONUM) rolled out to a solid $7M on Friday. {nm} H-Mogul Feb 08, 09:06

It'll go lower. Reviews are terrible. I don't see much word of mouth--- {nm} VictorY Feb 08, 09:10

Is this your opinion or a premonition? {nm} jdaniel Feb 08, 09:18

It's dropped to "33 percent" on Rotten overnight, it was around "50 percent" yesterday. Not a good sign. {nm} VictorY Feb 08, 09:49

You said "It'll go lower". So what's your estimate for the weekend total? {nm} jdaniel Feb 08, 09:56

And I'd like to know tonight's Powerball numbers. {nm} clusterxxx Feb 08, 10:14

3-12-19-40-11 powerball 36... {nm} Fagatron Feb 08, 15:18

I'll wager 2 bucks and play those numbers :p {nm} pennystocks2 Feb 08, 15:28

Looks like your sensei silly blog guess on Lego are terrible too {nm} karspov Feb 08, 10:17

Lots of bad guesses this week. Lego was apparently hard to judge. PVL Admin Feb 08, 14:31

Actually, it wasn't Lego that brought everyone down it was Vampire Academy....interesting. {nm} PVL Admin Feb 08, 14:36

Really? Vampire Acadamy was the easiest for me to judge this week. The movie is a little late to the vampire party. {nm} magicdreamer Feb 08, 16:07

Yes. Sites were all 70-100% accurate on LEGO and wrt Vampire, 8/12 got 0%, a couple got ~30 and a couple got ~70. {nm} PVL Admin Feb 08, 17:03

...again, if numbers hold. {nm} PVL Admin Feb 08, 17:03

That's also the power of group think. {nm} PVL Admin Feb 08, 17:04

Yep - what I mean is it seems harder to go against groupthink on the downside than the upside. RogerMore Feb 08, 18:44
