I don't know.. It's probably Braveheart-ish, but something about this one tells me it's kinda tapping into the Avatar-realm.. And also kinda

Posted by: Facto on May 14, 07:02 in response to second gary's post I concede that the LA Times prediction is making me a bit...

into LOTR-territory..

My intuition, Gladwell-Blink or not, is telling me it's got this x-factor about it, that'll at least ensure it'll make 40M for its OW (opening week, for those uninitiated - not SG, of course.. :-)

All those other comparisons people make fall short: Kingdom of Heaven, Gladiator, 3:10 to Yuma, Public Enemies etc etc.. While I can see why people make 'em, I sense that they are just not quite relevant.

Either way, only time will tell, and there's not much time left till we find out

Gut Checks .. Long LJULT.. short the rest ;-) {nm} karspov May 14, 00:12

Ditto {nm} JMT May 14, 00:22

You've been wrong so often lately, I've lost all faith I had in you :-) Facto May 14, 02:04

Long both LJULT and RBNHD. Could've longed Just Wright also, but it's hardly worth the commish on investing + flipping after. {nm} Facto May 14, 01:15

So basically we're looking at three longs this weekend. Iron Man 2's drop will be a little higher than many here suspect. Facto May 14, 01:15

Short RBNHD only {nm} Lawrenxx May 14, 01:37

If I may.. Shorting RBNHD at this price, is tantamount to longing IRNM2 before halt last weekend. I'll be here on the boards tomorrow and on Facto May 14, 02:03

long LETTERS and short ROBIN {nm} dc82 May 14, 02:04

My gut tells me to long JUSTW, short LJULT and short RBNHD because... Skauge May 14, 02:33

3:10 and Enemies did not have the same obvious love story. I agree it's going to be an interesting weekend. I believe Hood will draw in a Facto May 14, 03:06

Hmm.. Actually, first correction comes from myself: This movie IS long. Much longer than I thought, with its 140 minutes. Facto May 14, 03:25

Long LJULT and JUSTW, short KCOST... er... CELWE... er... SCONN... er... EFLYN... er, what's his name. {nm} second gary May 14, 05:52

People are once again voluntarily waltzing into the abbatoire.. My (final) take on it ;-) Facto May 14, 06:10

Ok, make that "less than 13M" - sloppy thinking on the first one {nm} Facto May 14, 06:26

I concede that the LA Times prediction is making me a bit uncertain. :) second gary May 14, 06:56

In "The Two Towers," there is a CG-shot during the battle which breaks out on the exodus towards Helm's Deep... second gary May 14, 07:18

Yeah, that Omaha Beach comparison... Well, in any event Facto May 14, 07:25

Longed LJULT and RBNHD. Shorted JUSTW (not mentally ill). :) {nm} hawkfanatic2 May 14, 08:54

Long RBNHD & Short JUSTW {nm} joeoftexas May 14, 03:18

At current prices, long RBNHD, short LJULT (people are REALLY giving Summit too much credit here), and possibly long JUSTW {nm} secretstalker May 14, 03:39

Agreed... Same here. {nm} photochick814 May 14, 03:49

It's almost always a good sign when you and I agree on the weekend's biggest opener... :-) We've hardly ever been wrong, together Facto May 14, 03:52

And just for that... I"m reversing my position on all :) {nm} secretstalker May 14, 04:22

I actually saw this one coming :-) Facto May 14, 04:32

I concur {nm} lhayes37 May 14, 07:55

short LJULT, long JUSTW, no play RBNHD - may have already made all the H$ i wanna risk on that one... {nm} click999 May 14, 07:59

Anyone who doesn't short JUSTW has some sort of mental illness. Long LJULT even though it might break even, up in the air on RBNHD {nm} Borat May 14, 08:14
