Fwiw

Hmmm. 3000+ theaters. It's got more than a fighting chance to do so...we'll have to see the numbers put up by the bookies.

 

[glenrobinson]

I played over 22 million at Pinny. The studio is shooting for over 30 million and will be very upset if its anything under 25.

It's getting great reviews all around. 96% or so at rottentomatoes. People are saying this is in the class of goodfellas and casino.

[joelatti]

I just got home from seeing this movie....IT WAS GREAT.....I thought it would be OK with a great cast and I was shocked at how good it was....If this doesn't break 22million I'd be shocked...Just by WOM it should

 

[Deuce-Deuce]

Got it at the greek but over 24 million for -120

 

[glenrobinson]

Looks like an early estimate of 8.4 million for Friday. I guess we are on pace for over 22 million but it may be tight.

 

[joelatti]

Glenn I would say the movie does at Least 10 million today putting us at 18.4.....I think we get it over the 22...but you r correct may be tight...But I can see it coming in at 24-25

 

[JamesTrout]

Wow. Gitesh over at BOG is optimistic and thinks The Departed is on course for $25-27m.

Didn't bet on this in the end as I didn't like the odds. Good luck fellas though.

 

[kirkmuller]

any sat nit #s?

 

[HPark1]

just saw an unofficial 10.3. Seems to be crusing over 25 mill.

 

[joelatti]

I thought it would do 10 mil sat......so let's say we sit at around 18.5...we need an avg Sunday to push it OVER

 

[HPark1]

officially 10,240,000

 

[joelatti]
