Predictions for Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle

SoundofSilence · Jun 26, 2003

I have CA2 at +$25 mill against The Hulk, which should win easy... But as far as predicting a # for CA2, I'd lay off. It could do great, it could bomb. There's much better movies out there for predicting.

The over is back to -170... I remember someone mentioning a while back that the Charlies' Angels DVDs had out-sold the Fast and the Furious by a margin of almost 2 to 1, so you would think that would translate to an equal or probably better box office for the sequel. Right now the Fast and the Furious is out-selling Charlies Angels on Amazon but that is probaby due to 2F2F's recent success. The low buzz score still scares me, though. I still like the over 52.5 a lot. I think it's a great bet. But Sound could be right, the previews are turning off a lot of people. It looks like all fluff and no substance.

I had troubles getting money into my Neteller account last night, and so I missed out on the over +115. Piss-me-off.

Oren1 · Jun 26, 2003

I got in once, and I'm tempted to hit it again at Olympic in hopes of making up for the Hulk fiasco... if I lose again though it will really suck. I might just retire until the NFL starts up, as these summer blockbusters lines are proving to be too sharp just as Lakerfan has said.

Was out of town on business. Just got back in, but, I played the OVER at Wsexchange for +115

I came across another prediction page, and this guy was one of the most accurate Hulk predictorrs. I think he said something like 65 million. Let's see how accurate he isthis weekend. He's got the Angels at 63 million. It's in the Box Office > predictions section.

oh yeah that hurts. lol. **** this shit!

SonofaGun · Jun 28, 2003

Friday's estimate for CA2 is 14.8 million. Looks like it won't even make $50 mil. 28 Days made 3.3 million so for those who took over 7 should be fine.

Oren1 · Jun 28, 2003

should of listened to my own advice. It looks like the buzz index might be a great tool for predicting box office dissapointments. Terminator 3 has a pretty low score right now as well, but that movie is obviously going to appeal to a wider audience than CA2. But, it might not be a huge hit. Looks like the big winners this summer are the light-hearted family oriented films, Bruce Almighty and Finding Nemo. Even X2 had a more mainstream feal to it than the Hulk, X2 being a straight ahead action movie that delivered a comic moment at the end of it's previw, while the Hulk was long, dark and dramatic. CA2's previews bordered on soft-core porn. Not going to attract families. I'll be sitting out this week but would probably reccomend taking the under for T3.

Yes, but we are going to win the Hulk -22 mil +190 bet that we made, remember?

SoundofSilence · Jun 29, 2003

It'll be close... I'm sitting on Charlie's +$25 million vs The Hulk and I'm sweating it out.

jcambert · Jun 29, 2003

It won't be that close. CA2 made an estimated $38mil. They are usually pretty close with their estimates, but, when they are off, they are usually over, but, even if they are under by $2mil, this is an easy winner, as the Hulk made just over $62mil. Hulk -22 is an easy winner.

Official numbers won't be out until tomorrow -- that is just an estimate based on Friday and Saturday's numbers, they have no way of knowing for sure how many people will be going to see it today.

Looks like I was dead on with my prediction (see page 2 of this thread). I also predicted the hulk at 60 million last week and was very close to that one as well (but I didn't post it)

I'm not a physic or anything like that, I'm just a huge movie fan that averages going twice a week for the last 8 years and I've always checked the box offices results on Sunday nights. I don't gamble on it because I don't have enough faith in my guesses. I'm also wayyyyyy off at times but I'm right more time than I'm wrong. I love to keep up with it anyway and will start posting my predictions every week in here.
