[wtf]

FWIW I found that hottie (Rosalyn Sanchez), check MTV thread in Offshore

Oren, why on earth would you be starting to doubt that it is going to go UNDER? It is going to stay under...trust me on this one.

The following are the "expert" predictions:

Boxofficeguru: $53 mil. This is the ONLY expert predicting that it will go over $50million, and, incidentally, he is probably the least accurate of all the experts when it comes to predictions.

Boxofficemojo: $34.1 mil. This guy is the most accurate of the lot.

Boxofficereport: $48 mil. This guy is the second most accurate of the lot.

Lee's Movie info: $40.8 mil. This guy is probably the second LEAST accurate, right behind Boxofficeguru.

Boxofficeprophets: $44.7 mil

the-number.com: $40 mil.


And, when you combine all this with the fact that the UNDER in BOTH places was taking back money, this was a no brainer weekend, guys. This is almost like free money. Oren, you shouldn't have bought back the bets, man.

From the theater reports I've seen, it sounds like it might go over. I might actually make some money on this as I put 100 bucks on over 55 5/2 at Bodog after I read that article about the Austalian opening of the film. It did 40% more there than the first movie, if it does the same here, it's gonna make around 56 million. This movie has been hyped to death, they had 3 cars from the movie parked out in front of our theater tonight, and there were kids taking there pictures with them. Not being a car enthusiast myself, I think I made a mistake underestimating this one.

 

[jcambert]

Oren, like we've talked about before, you tend to think that every movie is going over, and, you second guess yourself too often to ever actually make money consistently doing this. You should have played the under, and stuck with your gut.

[jcambert]

By the way, I've seen theater reports indicating that the theaters are less than 20% full, so, don't believe everything you read.

Oh, one more thing. Lee's Movie Info DOWNED his prediction to 35mil. Another expert with a HUGE under prediction.

Lee is retarded. Prophets suck. I don't know what you're talking about when you say the GURU is the worst out of the bunch... he is WAY, I MEAN WAY better than LEE, PROPHETS, and the-number.com. Lee is the worst. Guy is stoned.

Over - dude. How many theaters are we talking about?

 

[Gillian]

Friday - 20 million.

I do recall someone harping about it NOT going over 16 million. say it TWENTY - MILLION...

 

[jcambert]

Gil, could you please grow up? Especially considering that you are WRONG. It's 18.95 million, not 20.5 million. Secondly, using a 2.6 multiplier, it is STILL going to stay under, my friend, so, stop talking garbage and go make some more plays at Intertops, will you?

JP

 

[wtf]

geez JP are you always this pompous?

It will be interesting to see your reaction when you lose...

 

[jcambert]

That's pretty funny, WTF, coming from you.

JP

 

[Oren1]

If I hit this middle all you fools better shut the hell up and

I only wish I had hit it when the line was still 47 1/2, not 48.

I don't know, I still kinda think it's going to go over 50.

 

[Gillian]

Geez is right. someone sure can dish it out, but can't take it... ever heard of the term... "bustin' balls" Chill out, JC.

Play nice.

I thought 2f2f was going to gross near the high end of projections all along. And most of it front loaded for friday.

I made first day (friday) bets for gross over 20MM at +170 and a small one for gross between 18-18.9MM at +700.

mojo's has the totals at 18.95MM and everyone else has it 20.5MM. Who is right? The suspense is killing me. And I NEED a win because playing the wrong side of french open props nearly wiped me out.

HELP!
