Bad Santa - Missing - Timeline - Ghosts, oh my!!!

[Gillian]

Looks like all the box office lines are out in full force.

I'm taking Bad Santa under. Bad Santa is going to do crappy. Rated R. Too many other flicks to choose from. Timeline will do better than people think. The Missing will too. I have to research Haunted Mansion some more before I lay down some cash. Intertops has some great odds on the OVER!!!

Be back soon with my thoughts on HM!!!

Why do you think the Missing is going to do well? it's not even on moviefone's chart.

 

[Gillian]

I know THE MISSING is going to do well because all my neighbors are older people in their late 40's. They all love Ron Howard and that wrinkled faced Tommy Lee Jones. These people do not play around on the Internet. They use the paper. I've preached this time and time again. Think back to OPEN RANGE... it didn't show up on moviefone until the last minute... and look how good it did. (plus, remember, it's only Tuesday) Plus, the pros are comparing The Missing to Open Range. Why miss out on double bubble. $$$. Box Office report is predicting 22 million. I think there's great value in 20 million or more for +200. at Intertops. I don't know of a Ron Howard movie that didn't do good box office.

TIMELINE is moving up on moviefone. You can get 19 million or more for +225 at Itops.

(I hate only making 3/4 or 1/2 of what I wager - that's why I bet Intertops.) When I lose I lose, but when I win, I win big. I was off by only 700k last weekend. F--ck!!!!!!!!

I might bet all the overs at Itops and take Bad Santa for 15 m or more for +200 also.

someone email those chumps and tell them to raise their limits, I'm gonna suck'em dry this weekend.

Yeeehhaaaa ...

open range only did 14 in 3 days, and I'd say that one had much better buzz than this movie, which looks lame in the preview. dude, why am I the only one that thinks the Missing is going to bomb? or at least be a disapointment, I think Timeline is going to do better, and look at the line movement at WSEX. I don't know if I believe the hype, Ron Howard or not, the movie looks bad and I have no desire what-so-ever to go and see it, Tommy Lee has made some stinkers lately and who's going to go and see him dressed up like a funky indian tracking someone when we saw him do that shit in the Hunted, a movie that recently came out and SUCKED balls. Anyone who saw that movie, and it didn't do that bad, is not going to be interested in this flick. I haven't taken it but I say under 14.5 +110.

 

[Oren1]

dawg what's up with USD 6.9 million or less 5.5 for bad santa?

 

[Oren1]

Gil whataya got for us, there's gotta be some juicy information out there for this upcoming weekend, see any tracking info anywhere?

 

[Oren1]

already jumped to 4.5, I nailed it, think htis movie might bomb, plus it's on few theaters and it's rated R. I read that the studios are expecting 40 million or more for Haunted Mansion, the under might be the play.

 

[Oren1]

I'm also taking the Missing under 15.5 at Oly, -115.

 

[Oren1]

maybe I'm on crack, but I think it's back to 5.5 now,

this movie is gonna bomb. These are great odds.

 

[Gillian]

With all these movies - one of them is going to bomb!!!!

[Oren1]

hey, where's JCambert when you need him, we're talkin' about some serious value here G-money.

 

[Oren1]

box office mojo has theri predicts up: The only reason I don't lkike the HauntedMansion under is becasue it's new trailers are better than the old ones, so it might not do too bad, but, The Cat in the Hat might be competition, maybe not though if it's gettting poor word of mouth. (Bad Santa

VALUE PLAY! $$$$ heh)

hell, I'm going to take under 44 for Haunted Mansion as well.

 

[Oren1]

a lot of the message board geeks are saying they want tog o see the Missing this weekend, so, guess the under is looking even better heh. Plus, it's only got 2 messages on the MSN movies messgae boead iwhich is really bad. Bad santa has 23

Haunted Mansion has 31, and Timeline has 34

So everyone thikns Timeline is gonna bomb, but it's doing the best on Moviefone and looks like the message board buzz it better as well.

 

[Gillian]

I can't see why. TIMELINE looks horrible. I'd rather see The Missing. But, out of all of them... I'd rather watch Gothika. lol.

I think the best value play out of all the props is @ INTERTOPS...

BAD SANTA: 7 MILLION OR LESS +500

Holy f-ck!!! Now, that's odds, baby!!!!

Mark my words... Timeline is going to bomb. The Missing I ain't touching. Haunted Madsion i'm taking the Over> 43million to 48 m - Itops -- kids movies don't show the buzz until Friday.

 

[Oren1]

guess which one you are
