but, I'm starting to doubt it will hit even 24 just because no one really has thrown a number out that is that high. But everyone was wrong with Bruce Almighty. This just looks like a movie that has to make 20 million to me, regardless of the theater counts. If you live in a heavily populated area, and one theater is playing the movie you want to see, you usually just drive the extra few miles to see that movie. Sometimes I have fealt that I would have been better off if I didn't research the bet at all and just went with my personal instincts. I'm just hoping this is one of those times. I'm going to take both overs and see what happens, I figure one of them at least will probably go over. Remember the last time you said my play was that of a degenerate gambler? Sure there's more risk involved in these but I feel better about them than taking say, the Spurs tonight.
theater report:
"Finding Nemo SOLD OUT at 10:30 AM Showing
Varied audience of all ages - toddlers, kids, teens, grown-ups, seniors. Croud clapped at the end. I thought it was on par with A Bug's Life. I'd give it a B+
Trailers were:
Good Boy - Kids laughed, everyone else groaned
Spy Kids 3-D - Excitement with the kids
Johnny English - Laughs
The Incredibles - Laughs"
I saw another one from a dude from New York who walked around to the different theaters downtown, he said they seemed surprisingly empty although he didn't go inside.
Another one for Italian Job from northern Kentucky in a theater that seats 143, said there were 11 people in it.

Where do you get these theater reports?
At HSX? Where do you go?
Let me know, bud.

Well, ****, everyone was right, IJ won't reach 19 million. It did look a tad inane, I just wish they had made better previews, the material was surely there for them to do it. But then the estimates would have probably gone up anyways. I was surprised, it was actually a very good movie, IMO. 3 stars!
I subtracted 1/2 a star because they give away WAY too much in the preview. Just thought I'd give it a shot, with all the other big money-makers we've had so far. Which brings us to Nemo raking in 20 this Friday, which will probably bring it around 70-75 million. SO I pretty much pushed on my two over wagers at Oly. I've also got Bruce almighty +7 million over Nemo, win, and also lost about 20 bucks at Intertops on 3 different bets. Once again their over 65(Nemo) hit, too bad the odds were only 3.5. We missed the boat last weekend. I only had 15 bucks on it, and lost 55 on IJ's 3-day brackets. Bleh.

You're right, I thought Bruce did 70, not 67 it's openening weekend... They both had almopst exactly the same friday numbers, but Nemo will surely do better Saturday and Sunday. Might be close. Nemo could still do 75, but it's still somewhat unlikely, I hope. Mojo just put up his projection and has Nemo at 70.5, IJ at 19.5 , (LOL you nailed that one)
, so I think I'm probably going to win. It could still surprise today, of course.
