The Devil Wears Prada Opening Weekend

shamp · Jun 27, 2006

Pinnacle's under 16.5 million +118
Bodog's over *16 million +130

Both are $100 max. Win either $30 or $18 right?

*Bodog's prop is listed as this question - Will The Devil Wears Prada gross more opening weekend than The Omen? The Omen grossed 16 million.

I hope The Devil Wears Prada doesn't land at 16 - 16.5.

FYI, Pinnacle moved already from +154 10 minutes ago which I got but I thought I would post anyway.

From what I heard, the Omen was just a re-make of a mediocre film with the allure of opening on 6/6/06. I don't think anyone cared much about it. On the other hand we have Streep in an original film. Streep, as we all know, is liked by many of the boom generation. Boomers still go to films. I think this film will draw in a lot of ladies. Ladies don't usually go to films alone. The over looks solid. My guess is $19.3 mil.

This movie has an 81% rating at rotten tomatoes, so your favorite critic will most likely suggest you see this one. I wouldn't be surprised at the over since Superman Returns will let some steam off before Friday with its Tues opening. I'm just doing the scalp. Good luck on your wagers.
