Good Friday causes a pretty big boost in sales. Even non-openers can drop from Friday to Saturday.

16 might be a shade low, but maybe not - the weekend will probably go 7-6-4 or 7-6-3.5.

RELEASE THE CASH! 3D 'Clash Of The Titans' Opens To $30M Friday & Easter Weekend Est Of $65M; Tyler Perry $13M/$30M, 'Dragon' $11M/$28M; Mil {nm} sprinter319 Apr 02, 23:37

Pretty much expected for all IMO, although Alice dropped slightly harder then I thought it would. {nm} Mattrek Apr 02, 23:45

Why does she estimate 16M weekend for LSONG after a 7M Friday? Seems too low, it would mean that both Saturday and Sunday Facto Apr 03, 04:26

For the curious, that 30M figure does include the Thursday night #s. {nm} Jelly Apr 03, 02:50

That's an insane number for WDIG2.. Why oh why did I drop my long position on it... LAT scores once more with Clash (they predicted 60-70), Facto Apr 03, 04:54

If those numbers hold, I'm 3/3 this weekend. {nm} secretstalker Apr 03, 06:15

Seemed the concensus among gut-checkers was right this weekend: Clash short, WDIG2 long, LSONG wash (slight long) Facto Apr 03, 06:19

LSONG is a long even with Good Friday/Easter.... I don't think everyone went short on CLASH though. {nm} secretstalker Apr 03, 06:31

It feels good to go against that majority and come out being right. looking like 3/3. =) {nm} the_noble Apr 03, 06:53

I dont think you are going against the majority for LSONG and WDIG2.. most had those two movies long.. karspov Apr 03, 06:56

It kind of would be awesome if there was some way HSX could show how many shares are being held one way or the other secretstalker Apr 03, 07:15

Sure.. even with just a percentage would be awesome.. say for example 70% long and 30% short that kind of data.. {nm} karspov Apr 03, 07:28

that would be great! do you think we could get that added on here? {nm} the_noble Apr 03, 10:29
