I was talking about Dumb and dumber.
By the way, I checked into the wsex.com lines. I have never bet there before. But I see something VERY fishy here in their lines! Why on EARTH do they use 15 million as the over/under?????? That number is 10 million behind what some other sportsbooks have for the same bet! Bodog has over 23.9 million at 4/5 right now! Under 14.9 million is 10 to 1!!!!!!!!
What is hte deal here? Is the book trying to play the cancel the bet if you take the over here?? They obviously want the squares to UNLOAD on teh under, but what will they do about the people who take the over???
I really look for Dumb to score above 40 million this weekend. It has had some HEAVY advertising lately and everytime you log onto AOL, you see a picture of that movie!
I just hope that it goes over 23.9 million since i bet the max at bodog.
I would join wsex.com and bet the over, but I am worried that they will cancel any over bet on that movie

By the way, Playersonly, take a look at some of the expert predictions. NOBODY is predicting that it will make more than 17mil and that's why this line is posted at 15mil at WSEX. They have FAR sharper lines than at Intertops or Bodog, so, there you have your answer.
Also, it's only playing in 2600 theaters, and, at 45mil (your prediction), this movie would have to average 17,000 per theater, and, the original, with all the big names, didn't do that. Sorry, man, but, there is NO CHANCE that, even on a very surprising weekend, that this film breaks 22mil.

Well I only need 25 million to make the money, but I still like it over. Keep in mind that in the fist film, no one knew that it would be a great film. Well I should never use the word "great" in the same sentence as Dumb and Dumber, but you get the picture.
Also, for the last film, we didnt have as much fanfare lke net advertising and ALL of the ads that showed up before the major movies this year. I did call a local theater that sells tickets as much as 5 days before the film, and htey said that the Friday sales were VERY high for a movie of this caliber and that was on Thursday

If i'm lucky... and I would have horseshoes up my ass, coming out of my mouth... this movie does over 15 million. If I am lucky. You guys are forgetting, Bodog, Intertops, they go out on a limb putting these odds up early in the week, way before the bad reviews, theater drops... If D & D pulls in over 15 this weekend... I'll be one happy monther fukkkkor. And it could... but fingers need to be crossed. a week ago I was predictiing 20 but now... I am crossing my fingers for over 15. And I think INTERTOPS' lines are normally pretty SHARP... but too much shit happend to this film after they had already posted their odds. My hat is off to them for not waiting until Thursday like the rest of these pussy sportsbooks.
"I really look for Dumb to score above 40 million this weekend. It has had some HEAVY advertising lately and everytime you log onto AOL, you see a picture of that movie!"
LMAO!
Hilarious.
The public is stupid, but not that stupid, and this movie's existence is just insulting. It's just a cheap knock-off. I'd be surprised if it did ten million, even with the advertising push.

I saw Dumb and Dumberer at 3:10. Bout 80% full. Only new preview i saw was Grind.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Excellent. "
O.K. at first everyone was talking about 'longing' their DD stocks, but the price is dropping so most people must be selling. I don't know what the movie would have to make over the weekend for them to make a profit by holding on to it, but I was guessing around 15. So you're not out of the woods yet. 80% full on a friday afternoon is an early sign of success, of course. Might be another cliff-hanger. The average prediction among HSXers is 17.25.
