early line was 33.5 (-115) at pinny, and within five minutes the over jumped to 34.5 (-280). I took the over 33.5 for 1.42 units. I think this movie will perform quite well. With a theatre count of around 3500(estimate), ferrells fan base, no direct competion, and a nascar theme, it should open in the 35-38 range. Anchorman opened at 28 in 3015 theatres in 2004, with spiderman 2 still hot.This film is rated pg-13 which is also key.

u got a great line...i saw it at 34.5 -108 and i thought that was the opener...

these are funny to bet...you need so much luck to catch them at the right time...5minutes too late and all the value is lost....

congrats on getting the best value for your money...we will see how the rest of the week plays out...

obviously back later in the week....

I still laugh everytime I see the commerical. Especially when he signs the baby's head. I think this will be a huge hit.

i dont think it will exceed 40, but i do feel it will break 33.5.Waiting for a definitive theatre count, hoping i can get at least 3400.

There's always a first time, but....


theres a lot more to look into when breaking these down than saying "i think its gonna be a smash hit"

I'm sick of getting messages about you from everybody, it's like I'm babysitting a rowdy kid.

Honest question - do you work for a book?

Read one of my myriad PMs, I'm about to send you a new one.

do you really think i care domer....

the lines been out at pinny since monday night...ditto for wwts...go bet your fu-king UNDER...

i dont bet 1000's, on these...i highly DOUBT anyone does...pinny has 100 limits on them when they open them...greek has 200 limits...(you think they are gonna stop offering lines on them LOL, i dont think so, whats $100bucks to pinnacle sports and olympic)...

i am able to get down whats comfortable for ME...i dont care about ANYONE ELSE PERIOD...i bet what i bet before i post ANY of my plays on these movies...im obviously able to beat the books on these....pretty convincingly too i might add...so quit your bitching...im the one who sits here EVERY THURSDAY for hours...waiting for the lines to get posted...

you dont even know which way im leaning on betting this movie...

everyone has an agenda...and i have mine....i know what i post an an effect on the lines...same with NF and his info...it doesnt mean its always right or i always agree with it...


until HUSKER starts losing on these...nothing is gonna change....

What effect do the two of you think this ridiculous heat wave will have on the results? Any?

A bit off-topic, but just spotted this line at The Greek:
8/4/2006 11:00 AM The Barnyard vs The Descent No rebet, $200 limit
403 The Barnyard -4½ million 1.56
404 The Descent +4½ million 2.50

Surely the Descent is a great price here? In my opinion there shouldn't be much between these two on the OW, 2 Mill. maximum. Any opinions appreciated!

It does look like a good price. I already took over 11 on Barnyard and over 8.5 on Descent so Im not betting any more now. But if I didnt already bet this is what I would do:

Take over 11 on Barnyard at Pinny -110 right now and hedge with Descent +4.5 +150 at Greek

Risking 110 for 100 on Barnyard over 11 and 100 for 150 on Descent +4.5 here are the potential outcomes

If both do at least expected 8.5 and 11 then you win both bets. +250
IF Descent does about expectation and Barnyard goes below 11 then +40
If Descent does 8.5 and Barnyard takes off over 13 then break even

If Descent doest poorly and only gets 6.4, which is more than 2 mil less than expected and Barnyard gets under 11 then -210. So both movies would have to bomb in order to lose both bets. Barnyard may or may not get to 11 but I have a hard time believing that Descent cant get at least 6.5. Based on all the good reviews and the fact that a real horror movie hasnt come out in a while I truly believe that the buzz will take this one close to 10 or so.

I just talked myself into making the bet!!!!!!!!!!

its a great price ridle...i just bet it...only bet 100 on it though in case i wanna buy out of it later on...

the pinny lines are 8.5ov+104 and 11millionov-110 so thats a 3.5million difference and the juice is very close....your getting +150 on the decent and an extra million...the +50 alone makes it a solid play...

thanks for the heads up...we'll see how it plays out the rest of the week...fwiw its gotten an excellent 92% fresh rating at RT 23 of 25 reviews are positive...that and the stock prices are trading at almost the exact same prices right...but that can change...

that and it seems that the animated films are quickly becoming old this summer...MH didnt breakout....AntBully bombed now we have Barnyard coming out for a new animated movie release 3 weeks in a row...yikes...its impossible to say what barnyard will do this weekend but the trend for the kiddies movies is definitely treading in the wrong direction....on the flip side we have had a solid 5weeks of PIRATES PIRATES PIRATES PIRATES and MV....there really hasnt been a horror movie debut in quite some time...so the horror genre may be anticipating this movie....

Cheers for the feedback. I had my maximum on that matchup already before posting it - as far as I can remember, Horror Movies really did well in the US recently. Fingers crossed.

just so you know this movie has already been released overseas and has been out for over a year...its a foreign horror film and those typically dont do well in the US...that could play a huge part into just how much this takes in this weekend....

i liked the play based on the pinny lines and the stock prices...the lack of releases in the past month+ and the anti kid movie sentiment that seems to be growing...

Husker, I don't think you're getting the big picture. Check my next PM, I think you'll find it to be lucrative.

husker, this might seem like a naive question, but what is the difference between advance and pre-open sales?
