Movies

in my case, yes. lot of them. people I'd never think are talking to me about it.

Posted by: lobogotti on Jul 21, 17:26 in response to tealfan's post closet rap fans coming out of the woodwork?

NWA changed music and culture, at time the same way The Fab Five changed basketball for the same demographic (as a result of that same rap music).

Im sure there were more albums purchased by white kids than all races combined.  And you'll need that demo to have a big OW.

This movie will bring back the glory days of ghetto rap.  Let's just hope it's good.

have no idea how Straight Outta Compton is tracking, but the interest I'm seeing from friends and neighbors lobogotti Jul 21, 14:47

What. . . second gary Jul 21, 14:52

a matchbox car, of course ;) lobogotti Jul 21, 15:05

A summer cold this week. . . second gary Jul 21, 15:14

loved all the films you mentioned! I was a big fan of Dope, also Me & Earl & The Dying Girl. I have a buddy lobogotti Jul 21, 15:42

I've meant to see "Dope," and also "Mr. Holmes" and "Amy." second gary Jul 21, 16:05

saw Amy, it was great. Mr. Holmes, missed that one. lobogotti Jul 21, 16:50

"Mr. Holmes" is just out this past weekend: IMCKE as retired Sherlock, thinking through his last case. {nm} second gary Jul 21, 17:32

this title comes off as a movie that everyone will be talking about, but not really going to go see it. Like, The Interview. {nm} adrenalin112 Jul 21, 16:27

too much back and forth with The Interview of do we release it or don't we or should we just VOD it or not? lobogotti Jul 21, 16:54

that demographic is known to talk alot about a movie but not actually show up. adrenalin112 Jul 21, 21:58

It's posting very strong Twitter numbers considering the target demo. {nm} RollingThunder Jul 21, 14:55

it's going to touch 3 quadrants, and that's saying something for this film {nm} lobogotti Jul 21, 15:06

Meh, sorry, two strong quadrants {nm} lobogotti Jul 21, 15:07

I think reseting your portfolio is the standard guarantee here. {nm} Antibody Jul 21, 14:58

Consider it a bet. If it doesn't open over $40M I'll reset! {nm} lobogotti Jul 21, 15:03

This will be AWESOME! So, what's Anti got to do if it DOES?? {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Jul 21, 15:09

Ah, that's an easy one: reset all other active ports. :) {nm} second gary Jul 21, 15:15

Lobo would be the most hated man on this board! haha. {nm} masonacj Jul 21, 15:34

Oh crap! {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Jul 21, 16:21

Talk about playing for blood! {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Jul 21, 16:21

keep us out of this! {nm} tealfan Jul 21, 17:06

closet rap fans coming out of the woodwork? {nm} tealfan Jul 21, 17:07

doh!...meant as reply to original post {nm} tealfan Jul 21, 17:07

You have chosen the form of the destruction. :) {nm} second rooftop demon Jul 21, 17:31

I tried to think of the most innocent thing! {nm} tealfan Jul 21, 23:47

I wonder what the largest port value reset was? I assume I'll hold that record when it opens to $39.99M (or $40M for that matter)! {nm} lobogotti Jul 21, 15:35

I think it was probably me, I was probably around 600 million when I did a port reset bet over Scary Movie 3 or 4. {nm} notfabio Jul 21, 15:51

that's ballsy. do you remember the bet details and how much you missed by? {nm} lobogotti Jul 21, 15:54

It was like the Friday - Sunday multiplier, by a few million. {nm} notfabio Jul 21, 16:10

I strangely remember this - it was Scary Movie 4's Friday number, which came in at 19M instead of 20M. Jelly Jul 21, 18:44

ban ROTO & mike255 from posting ever again {nm} adrenalin112 Jul 21, 16:23

just did some searching online and found this. who's tracking sheet is this? lobogotti Jul 21, 15:49

That's Reel Source {nm} notfabio Jul 21, 15:50

doh! you just had to rain on my parade didn't you fabs? {nm} lobogotti Jul 21, 15:50

and btw, though obviously this means nothing because none of us know anything, but how cool is seeing that number (for me)? {nm} lobogotti Jul 21, 15:50

It's generating a lot of conversation on black radio even before any coordinated marketing efforts. leo21 Jul 21, 19:14

closet rap fans coming out of the woodwork? {nm} tealfan Jul 21, 17:08

in my case, yes. lot of them. people I'd never think are talking to me about it. lobogotti Jul 21, 17:26

Someone asked last week for an underpriced stock and I said this one. It is going to open to 8 Mile type numbers. $40m - $50m+ opening {nm} nilephelan Jul 21, 17:43

The one negative is that it is pretty long. 2 hours 24 minutes final estimated run time. {nm} nilephelan Jul 21, 17:46

nice nile, hope you're right. lot of buzz around me for it, let's see if they support it OW {nm} lobogotti Jul 22, 06:07

I am with you, I think it will be the surpriser of the summer...I predict it to beats Mission #6 result {nm} tatoufan Jul 21, 18:02

now that would be impressive! {nm} lobogotti Jul 22, 06:06

I'm really looking forward to this flick lobo. However, as far as BO goes, I think it will fall in the bi-op range. I am thinking the... Willroast Jul 22, 04:59

hey Will, nice to see you buddy. take a look at this, here's an example of what I mean... lobogotti Jul 22, 06:05

Nice to see you too lobo. I actually think this movie will be well made, well received, and underseen. I hopefully (and probably) will be... Willroast Jul 22, 07:30

yeah, can see some Linklater in there. but certainly a lot of the director himself in Gary Gray. I hope the 8 Mile crowd shows up lobogotti Jul 22, 07:42
