I wouldn't get your hopes up, doesn't look like it was screened for critics. and you know what that means. there's only 2 reviews up and they both give it 1/5 stars.
It's gonna do even worse than Wicker Park, I think, look at the moviefone chart!!!!!!
hey, look WSEX is going to get off their ass and open lines for these 2 movies. they shoudl both be set at 6 million.
Deffinetly don't trust Movie chart. It had 3 flicks ahead of Anacondas last week that Anaconda ended up beating. Lots of people are pedicting Paparazzi to perform better. I don't think so... but too close for me to bet.
I see you bet small too, Oren. Smart move.
Want to make money on a boxing fight... @ Pinny bet the UNDER for Wladimir Klitscho vs. Williamsom. Easy money.

thanks for the tip. good luck.
I think Wicker Park is the winning side, obviously, and obviously not a large play for me. Neither are going to do all that great. One other thing, Wicker Park is on the Yahoo movie chart, and Paparazzi is not. Maybe I'd bet a little more if I hadn't gotten reamed the last 2 weeks.
this is one of the only crowd reports:
"Hey everyone. Just got back from seeing Wicker Park. Suprising crowd report below.
Movie-Wicker Park
Theater-AMC Regency 20
Time- 8:00 p.m.
Attendence-Sold Out (I was very suprised at this)
Trailers:
I Heart Huckabees-No response. I think people were confused.
Saw- Lots of talking afterward.
National Treasure- No response. Looks pretty bad to me.
Movie:
First of all, I just want to say that there were TONS of teenagers,most of which were girls. It was packed. The movie very much suprised me. They were advertising it to be some sort of kidnapping thriller but don't be fooled. This was more of a drama/romance. I really liked how they told the story out of order and then pieced the story together as they went(similar to 21 Grams). Everyone laughed at pretty much everything Matthew Lillard said. He brought the movie a needed comedic touch which was good. Pretty decent acting on everyone's part. It started off kinda slow and was sorta confusing in the beginning, but by the end it all makes sense. I think every girl in the audience was cheering and clapping and "Awwwing" at the end. It was a very good ending. Most everyone clapped and cheered at the end(mostly due to how many teenagers there were.) Something that I wasen't expecting was how many teens this thing drew. If word spreads about this being a romantic movie, I can definately see this clicking with teens and especially girls and possibly having some good legs and good WOM. But that was just my theater so who knows. Overall I would give this movie a solid B. It definately suprised me.
"
there was another one but it didn't make a lot of sense, I think they said that Paparazzi was beating Wicker Park in their theater but I'm not sure.
and Wicker Park has almost caught up to Paparazzi as far as Yahoo user reviews.

and Wicker Park has almost caught up to Paparazzi as far as Yahoo user reviews.
and the Yahoo user review dude had this to say:
"For the ratios:
Vanity Fair - On one hand the ratio declined from Wednesday and was at only about 200 for Thurday. However, over the course of the day, Vanity Fair received a high percentage of the reviews earlier in the day which suggests that many of them came from people who saw it Wed-Thur. That is after all why openers get so many reviews on Saturday morning. The people who saw it Friday night are grading it. I'm guessing a ratio of about 230 for 1.1m-1.5m for Friday. However, I wouldn't be all that suprised if it is under 200 or over 300.
Paparazzi - It didn't increase as well into the night as I expected, so I'm projecting the ratio to be slightly higher then I did before. I'd say 180-220 for a number of around 1.3m-1.6m . Still it might get a ratio similar to Suspect Zero and pull in 2m.
Wicker Park - It increased even better into the night then I was expecting. That's good for the ratio, so, I'm thinking something along the lines of 170 for a total of 1.5m-1.9m.
The Cookout - It doesn't look good for this one. There is nothing to suggest that this will have anything but a high ratio. I'll give it about 240 for 0.8m-1.1m . However, the ratio could be alot higher and the numbers could be even weaker.
