Dumb & Dumbest Opening Weekend

wtf · Jun 12, 2003

At Intertops:
13 --> 14.9 mill (+700) 1 unit
less than 12.9 (+1300) 1/2 unit

Might be going out on a limb but I think one of these has a shot.

Better yet, Bodog has the 14.9mil or less at 12/1. Can't beat that. Especially considering that Wsex just posted their line at 15mil with the UNDER being the big favorite.

Big Mistake!

"the "No tag-backs" scene into the "Slushy speed sipping" scene had me laughing so hard, that I could barely see the screen through the tears in my eyes."

Gil, what's a big mistake? Betting the under?

JP

Gillian · Jun 12, 2003

Yes... but under 12.9 not 15.

whormoan · Jun 12, 2003

Under 12.9 down to +500 from +1300, so you got some nice odds Gil

Gillian · Jun 12, 2003

No, no... I didn't bet... I think it's going to do about 16 million. Haven't touched this one.

I'm on the over 15 million. It has a good chance of being a flop,

, but it's still my favorite wager for this weekend. The other movies coming out could also tank. If you look at Dude Where's My Car, which made 13.8 million in 2,087 theaters, you'd think that Dumb and Dumberer could easily make over 15 with 3800 theaters. But it doesn't have Stiffler or that other dude in it. But it does have the recogniseable name, and some people might not even know that Carry isn't in this one.

This is the perfect movie for 10 to 14 year olds. Honestly, what else are they going to see... especially the young boys. Young boys (control yourself Oren) are going to want to see it. They don't give a shit who are playing the roles... as long as there is a chance that they might laugh.

What happens on say 14.95 million? What bet wins this?

it jumps from * - 14.9 to 15 - *

I think the numbers they use probably round up to the nearest tenth.

Oren1 · Jun 12, 2003

um, I meant 2800 theaters. But WTF, the officialnumber is now around 2600, with Hollywood Homicide around 28 million, exactly reversed from Mojos earlier theater estimates....

Oren1 · Jun 12, 2003

well shit, this may be the last time I wager on these things before the officil theater count comes out, but one of the props I took at Bodog is closed now, DD against HH, in which I took Dumb and Dumber - 2 1/2 million thinking it was playing in more theaters, but now I know it's actually the opposite?! Maybe I'll get lucky and pull out a win anyways, but I'm not too confident in that one anymore.

jcambert · Jun 12, 2003

That's precisely why I normally (but not always) wait for the official counts to come out prior to making my plays. On top of that, I thought that Homicide would gross more than Dumb and Dumber anyway, despite the fact that I thought DD was playing in 100 more theaters.

I actually bet on the over 24 million at +300 at intertops. I really look for the gross to be about 45 million this weekend on this film. THE ONLY DRAWBACK is that it is Father's day weekend. This movie has been receiving some HEAVY advertising lately on the TV as well as before major movies during previews.

I bet the max amount that you can bet at intertops and bodog on teh over in this movie and am not worried whatsoever.

I also bet the max on teh dumb vs hollywood bet. You know what though, as soon as I placed these max bets, bodog changed their odds within about 30 minutes after the odds being the same for about 3 days.

I guess that they have followed that i am 4/4 in these movie box office bets and i bet the max each time. I wish that the max was $1000

Oren1 · Jun 12, 2003

I see lines move right after I place my bets also, I always thought the computer automatically shifted the lines for them.
