good start on "bringing down the house".....and you were right..."cradle" actually has a fighting chance vs "tears"......although these are still iffy,you are absolutely something special....always right in the ballpark....

Should be good on Bringing Down the House (Don't think Dreamcatcher can come close to matching that number), but Tears looks like it will beat Cradle to Grave by about a million. Still an outside shot, but don't look good.

I can't believe I bought Tears at -1 million when I could have gotten it at + 1/2 a few days later. Looks like we are both going to lose this one! It didn't have a very strong Saturday showing... looks like it will win by around 800,000, not sure though. Bringing Down the House was a bit of a shocker to me with the 30 mil+ weekend, did you see that one coming? Dreamcatcher doesn't have a chance in hell, although it does look like it might be a good movie.

Estimate is 17.2M, but that leaves plenty of room for change (more likely a slight bump up), estimates to actuals can mean changes of even 1M so you still have a shot at your bet. I got +1M on Cradle as I posted in answer to your posts way back when, but I know others got -1/2. I am still not sure that either of the Cradle bets will win, but obviously the +1M has a better chance. Small leans like this will lose some, and I hate that anyone lost money betting it.

Oren1, I just mentioned to sphincter in passing that I liked Bringing Down the House. I knew House had a lot of upside (and was tracking well), but I didn't see it doing this well. I thought 25M would be quite nice for it.

Steve Martin + Queen Latifa (spelling ?) = Big Box Office LOL, I guess.

yeah, go figure, I guess it was all about the probably only 2 funny scenes in the movie from the previews, SMACK! - " WHO DAT???!!!!" and " You got me straight trippin' boo!" Looks like Hollywood had it projected at around 20 or so mil, quite a difference.
