id never lay fu-king -300 on that movie EVER...thats assinine...
i heard the same thing about the bond movie today guy who comes on the radio for one of the morning shows gave it rave reviews...that doesnt equate into success in the opening 3days however....look at departed...it did well its 1st weekend but it wasnt Borat type hype....Departed followed thru in the following week and the following week and the following week etc thru the great WOM...
this could be the greatest movie ever made it depending on how the friday #s are it might just increase it multiplier some...if it does over 41.1 ill lose $30 bucks on it...no big deal...

kenspy already taking the midnights and trying to predict the weekend ballpark # already...NOTE he was DEAD wrong about saw3 when he said it should do 40m...and i sat here sweating hoping i didnt lose my balls....anyways...
the lines get out of whack once people start posting on that board...there was nothing CONCRETE posted..just his opinion...and NF #'s which already stated was nothing fanstatic...his opinion a couple updates from the movie sites (they suck anyways)...and the Bond opening in the UK PR is what caused this line to skyrocket...hey...gl to those who bet into it...
even if i was here watching it come in i still woulda never layed anything over 200 b/c imo nothing of substance was really there...
fwiw kenspy is calling for a 14.7m friday and a 2.95 multiplier with a 43.5M weekend...that based on what he has seen for midnight #'s...and the good wom the movie is getting...

its way way early (WAY too early)...but from what im reading...if you got in at the lowest lines available...and there were MANY outs this week as hollywood/cris/greek/pinny/wsex all put up lines....your looking at
over bond (esp the 37.5 and 38's that were posted)
over hf
again this is just an early stab....for the hell of it...i like following how these do thru the day...
anyways...bond is having massive sellouts in the major markets which is expected....i dont know how that will translate into overall gross bc of its run time and less theatres and bc i dont know how well MI3/bourne supremecy/batman begins did in regards to sellouts compared to JB13 etc ...BS did over 50 and BB did 48.7 MI3 did 47.7
happy feet is also selling out some friday night shows which bodes very well for this movie b/c its gonna ramp up sat and sunday where bond might fall off (im gonna need it to, to have any shot at the middle)...happyfeet actually has an A- rating on yahoo right now...and according to the man is actually beat bond rather easily in the early friday shows at his place...bond should obviously dominate the night...
"Happy Feet has sold out the 6:30 and 7:15 shows at Boston Common (aside from the zillion Casino Royale sellouts at that theater), which I find extremely impressive for a children's film on a Friday night (as opposed to Saturday or Sunday afternoon)."

nothing concrete yet on HF either way...its certainly not in the same ballpark as jb for the night showings...heard some good things on it..and a couple things that have you shaking you head.....
lets go to prison nothing concrete but based on yahoo reviews thread....people calling for under 1million on friday which would be a dead under...

Friday U.S. Matinees: Bond Beating Birds
I'm told U.S. matinees were very strong for both Casino Royale and Happy Feet today, with Sony/MGM's Bond flick pulling ahead. But Warner's penguin pic should get a Saturday kiddie bounce. That's why box office gurus are saying it's still too close to predict a winner for the weekend. Meanwhile, 007 is opening this weekend in 27 countries, including Russia (and shown in China later). Already, the Martin Campbell directed, Daniel Craig starring, pic had the biggest opening ever for a Bond film in the UK yesterday with 1.7 million pounds, beating the previous high from Die Another Day's 1.1 million pounds. Tickets sold for Casino Royale were 67% of the day's total box office. Ultimately, it may come down to running times and theater count to see which will open No. 1 in America this weekend: Warner's Happy Feet is only 1 hour, 38 minutes long with 3,804 playdates, while Sony's Casino Royale is 2 hours, 24 minutes long (the longest Bond flick ever) with 3,434 theaters. The penguins have more showings per day and in more theaters. But that's balanced by those cut-rate kiddie tickets. Right before the weekend, Sony was lowering expectations for Casino Royale to come in second to Happy Feet here -- counting more on foreign sales. More as it comes in...

saturday early afternoon...if you check the boards..dougny MIGHT have them around 10-11am if he posts...he did last week and was same as SBD's...which were slightly off from mojo's but its a close ballpark # to work with...
i honestly dont think its gonna matter this week...
im just waiting for the prison movie...i think jb and hf are both overs..

im just waiting for the prison movie...i think jb and hf are both overs..
showbiz has #s up dontknow how accurate they are
jb 14,370,000
hf 11,600,000
lets go to prison is a winner with 700K total bomb like i thought it would be...that nice bc now at worst i cant lose much money on these if HF doesnt go over 41....
not sure how to take HF's 11.6 have to see what people think the multiplier will be...even jb's # isnt outlandish...who know if it falls off a little on saturday or even holds with the same #...this could maybe sneek in around 40-41...depending on the multiplier...
its still early...the 1 good thing is 1-0 so far....
jb 14,370,000
hf 11,600,000

no DHD actually bumped both 400k...14.8 and 12 now
need mojo's #...i think bond willbe around 15m now...
based on these #s they are saying 41-43 range for both...but as we have seen here before with certain movies...like last weeks STF that came in 700k lower than the PR the night before and saw3....have to wait for the actuals on monday if its close...
we will obviously have a much clearer view when saturdays # come in tomorrow...need jb not to increase...and a decrease of anything would be great...
kenspy still calling for 2.95 muliplier...bc of the good wom...the last bond did a 2.83 i believe...
its all speculation...just have to sit and wait now...argghh...
