Movies

As with so many openers, two sides...will the talents' past performances continue despite a genre change. I went with Sandler's drama

history and poor early marketing. A few of my employees screened the movie and thought it was terrible...but they had comedic expectations (they didn't ask me about it, heh).

I have guessed wrong on these types of decisions this summer so it was nice to be right. I hope I found my mojo again!

SM: funny 8/22...aliens 2.8/8.2...collector 1.2/3.1 (link) tealfan Jul 31, 22:29

I guess it was all a dog and pony show. At least I was close on Aliens and Collector {nm} JackO Jul 31, 22:30

I just wish I'd seen a trailer or ads for FUNYP when it was still almost H$120. {nm} Cuzzin Todd Aug 01, 07:34

Wrong on COLCT, but got the other two right {nm} ChrisEW Aug 01, 08:59

had Funny wrong and the other two right...still didn't help {nm} tealfan Jul 31, 22:33

If those numbers hold true then I guess I'd be 2/3. {nm} MoneyMagnet Jul 31, 22:37

Same here... FUNYP is going to hurt, though {nm} secretstalker Aug 01, 03:49

Yup. I'm really surprised by the magnitude of the letdown. {nm} Jelly Aug 01, 03:52

Yeah, especially how many people I know went to see FUNYP yesterday... {nm} secretstalker Aug 01, 04:01

I'm not, really. It could've had a slightly larger let-down, before I'd be surprised. I read some imdb-reviews yesterday.. Facto Aug 01, 04:19

I'm sure you have.. Rock'n'roll, honcho! Facto Aug 01, 10:41

ugh gonna take a beating, 0/2 on funny and collector {nm} Instro Jul 31, 23:08

Toldja I was counting tumbleweeds! 3/3 if that holds Catzan Jul 31, 23:09

You flipped the aliens?? Why, you...... JohnGilmour Aug 01, 02:11

Frak.. I have this CCleaner routine I do at least once a day - seems it wipes out my pre-set handles all over the web, also... {nm} Facto Aug 01, 02:12

check out that (potential) hold for G-Force {nm} tealfan Jul 31, 23:19

And also note that it's already priced to delist at over 3.0. {nm} secretstalker Aug 01, 03:58

2 for 3. I shorted Funny at 80 and Collector at 13 but went long on the kid flick {nm} Smelly Monkey Jul 31, 23:58

0/2 but i only went long 9k shares of FUNYP; 5k shares of ANATC (i went 40k shares of GFORC last weekend) john Aug 01, 02:07

That was a smart move. I entirely forgot about the warrants and kept my long on FUNYP {nm} Smelly Monkey Aug 01, 02:33

3/3 if Steve's got them right. {nm} grammar Aug 01, 02:26

Nikki agrees on FUNYP, but says 3.3/10 for ANATC. Jelly Aug 01, 03:55
