no love for Sicario 2 here? the first one was an unexpected hit and in it's third weekend only went wide with 2600 theaters. Jun 25, 12:24
Den of Thieves opened to $15.2M in January. {nm} Jun 25, 12:36
SICA2.OW is at $15.96 {nm} Jun 25, 12:37
with an odd 1.8x expected delist multiplier. {nm} Jun 25, 12:51
There is some dissonance between the OW warrant and the actual moviestock price that I don't normally see. {nm} Jun 25, 12:36
quite a bit. {nm} Jun 25, 12:36
marketing = marketed {nm} Jun 25, 13:00
It’s going to do well though. Much better than $29M delist. Theres some great buzz for it in my circles. {nm} Jun 25, 13:02
But double?! SICA2 is at 71% RT vs. 93% for SICAR. {nm} Jun 25, 13:07
The sequel was fast tracked for a summer release. The market for this type of film is very dry and guys are salivating. Jun 25, 13:14
not true. this film has been through some bumps with both production and distribution and it was delayed due to those problems Jun 25, 13:20
Okay, thanks for info. Still, I think Sony made the right decision here. we’ll see {nm} Jun 25, 13:27
I don't know, making the Americans the villains doesn't seem like it'll play in Red States. {nm} Jun 25, 13:23
i think that reading will be much more straightforward to the left than the right. the right will identify with going above the law to Jun 25, 13:26
valid points for sure. maybe I’m too close to a broad group that loved the film and the trailer for the sequel.i Jun 25, 13:29
I would be more inclined to agree if I didnt think this was gonna play 65%+ male and 60%+ ethnic. {nm} Jun 25, 13:32
I think the ethnic just helps in this case. Original Sicario, while excellent, morphed into a badass little action film that Jun 25, 13:39
valid points indeed. then it better open to $25M+! {nm} Jun 25, 13:53
what’s the budget? {nm} Jun 25, 13:17
I've heard $60m+ {nm} Jun 25, 13:23
yeah, that’s high {nm} Jun 25, 13:30
I'm looking forward to seeing it, i just hope it's as good as the first one. {nm} Jun 25, 13:39
I rewatched the original over the weekend - the sequel is needless, and looks like a change in theme. (spoilers) Jun 25, 13:03
thats really just the way its being marketed. The film itself is more of the dramatic action film you got with #1 Jun 25, 13:04
One thing I'll be interested to see is (spoilers) Jun 25, 13:17

OK cool, let's talk then. {nm} Jun 25, 13:36
