Also... Look at what is ahead of CA-2 on the Buzz list -- Hulk, 2 Fast, Matrix, Nemo, and LoTR.
From Justin to Kelly is on the list, yet it bombed miserably.
The Fast and the Furious ONE is still on the list.
X-Men ONE is still on the list.
"American Film Institute" is still on the list.
Me thinks this list isn't a very good indicator.

The origional movies are on that list because it is merely tracking searches made on Yahoo, hence the people searching for Fast and the Furious on Yahoo will be counted on the list, even though they are really looking for the sequel. I thought the Hulks score of 128 was pretty good at the time that I posted it, but for some reason that single day was inflated. it dropped like 30 points the next day. Fast and the Furious had around 70 points the Thursday before it was released, and the Hullk had like 98 on Thursday. I'd say that there is a correlation there with their box office performance. Reloaded was in the 100's. The actual rank obiously isn't going to tell you that much, like I've already mentioned, it's the actual numerical score assigned to a movie that can give you a sense of the hype surrounding a movie. Charlies Angels 2 is being hyped to death, though, I have no idea why it's not getting a lot of hits on Yahoo compared to 2 Fast 2 Furious. Like you sort of mentioned before buzz and hype are 2 totally seperate animals. I thought that the hype for the Hulk the week leading up to it's release would increase it's buzz, or people's interest in the movie, but it didn't. It was merely hype. The first previews that were released for the Hulk really hurt that film, I think, among other things...
You mightbe right... someone said that the previews so far have been swamped, though. I'm thinking it will draw the same number of teenagers that 2f2f did, plus some. How much more? Dunno. If the over/under is set at 60, I'll probably just pass on this one, since I'm leaning towards over but it might only do around 58, which is another number which is being thrown around.

Oren, Hulk just set the new record for a June opening with $62.1 million. I highly doubt CA2 will set yet ANOTHER, new record by breaking that. Personally, the previews of this film makes me wanna vomit. It looks like complete shitt.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
LOL.
Anger Management made 42 million... Charlie's Angels will make around 53 million.

The marketing for this film is definitely there and running strong. It IS being promoted heavily, but that doesn't necessarily mean people are buying it. I for one, am certainly not, and most people I know in my personal life are not either. I mean, it is obvious what this movie is about. There is no story, plot, it is strictly about three cute girls kicking ass (if you can even call it that)and shouting girl power. I truly don't know one male in his right mind who really wants to see this flick. They can only go so far trying to draw the male crowd with the three girls and their action scenes. Speaking of action scenes, the previews I've seen are horrible. They've got the shittiest wire effects I've ever seen. It is really unbelievable (i mean this in a bad way). I saw one of the girls just jump right up 10 ft high and assume the famous Kate Moss position in the Matrix. Complete bullshitt. I really hope this movie flops so they'll not come back with a CA3.
I don't know much, but I think Charlie's Angels is the kind of movie that would have a lower rate of repeat customers for the 2nd go round. The first movie had all the intrigue of being the big screen version of the TV show, but now I don't really see the appeal to chicks or guys to go see the 2nd one. It's not like X men where the fans are junkies of the series, and in Charlie's the chicks are the same just a couple of years older.. except for Demi Moore.
For you guys that know the screen counts and etc... how rediculous would it be to throw down on 49.9 or less? Just un-imaginable with the advertising and amount of screens, or an alright play at 4-1 odds for a small amount?

wow. amazing. Everyone on the box office message boards are WAY off. seriously, everyone is saying 60 million or more, even Lee is saying 58. Hmmm I can't resist. Let's go for the over again. But once again someone probably in "the know" is hitting the under, I don't get it. The very low buzz index score so far is scary as well. On second thought I'm going to hold off for now. When does WSEX close these lines?
yeah, me too. I want to bet on the over for this line so badly my dics hard. Hmmm... I am going to hold off for now too. The screen count is the same as 2 Fast...
Maybe the guy who cleaned up on The Hulk is going for it again. When it first opened... it was -140 for over... now it has switched around. Something is up. BEWARE!!! Time to hedge.

I checked out a couple of area codes at Fandango and it doesn't appear that it will be suffering from lack of screens... it's playing on tons of screens. And for some reason TONS of these time slots are greyed out, you can only purchase tickets for the morning showtimes, that is weird. It can't be because they are sold out, there are far too many greyed out times... but it says in their help section that greyed out means sold out. That can't be possible, there are tons of 10:30 showtimes greyed out, those are always the last to go. Whatever. Anyways, Gil, I'm getting a woody too, I can't resist, I've got to try and recoup some of my losses from the Hulk. No ****ing way I go under 52.5 for this one. I'm goin' in! cover me!
