HONEY - Box Office (+Samuria)

[Gillian]

Honey at Intertops:

I instantly took 7.5 million or less for +700... and I'm not alone because the odds dropped instantly to +650. It's a huge value play. Lee is predicting 6.4 million and the Warrior is predicting only 6 million. Huge value, bud! Get it while you can guys.

I'm still pondering The Last Samuria - I think I'll take 40 million or more at Intertops for +220... that's pretty good odds, too.

Easy money!

what can I say, those guys are smoking crack, and my opinion is the Samurai caps out at 39 milion tops, I mean, it can't even beat Return of the King at Moviefone, although yeah that chart was useless last week, so who knows.

very good chance Honey does over 8 million...it is on 1900+ screens and there isn't anything in the teenage space this weekend so the kids will go see that plus it skew urban and there is nothing there either.

last samurai will be very very lucky to break 30 million. not tracking well in terms of want to see and it clocks in at 2 hours 26 mins, so exhibs aren't going to be able to squeeze an extra viewing in there...wouldn't be surprised if this ended up at third for the weekend

AC I agree with your Samurai assessment, WSEX laid that 29 line out there just daring you to take the over since everyone on the internet is saying 30-33 million. They must be betting on the under. The tracking isn't always right, but it might be better than 50%.

holy crap, I didn't even notice Honey had surged up the buzz chart, it's got 24 points!

can it bust out over 15 on only 1900 screens?

 

[Oren1]

gonna take 13-16 for 1/2 a unit.

Don't underestimate the powers of Oprah Winfrey

[AC]

my guess on honey is 8.4 million
last samurai 27.3 million.

those will be the estimates released on Sunday. who knows what the official number will be
