The Order and Dickie - box office up!

[Gillian]

Intertops has their new style of box office props up again for this weekend. I'll have to mull over the odds... but they definetly look good. +160. I hate getting back less than what I bet... that's why I always bet the box office at Intertops. They never have negative odds... only high odds.

Whassup, Oren!!!

I'm not touching those brackets this week... the odds aren't good enough to take those low numbers. I can't see Dicky Roberts making very much, though. The Order looks aweful, but for with Heath Ledger in it it's hard to say if it wil make 7 or 10 million.

gl dawg.

 

[Gillian]

The Order will do good. There are a lot of girls who love Heath Ledger, and also, if you're a fan of the spooky Christ flicks about demons or whatever, you'll be pumped for this movie. The Order totally reminds me of Stigmata, and it did like 18 million its opening day back in 1999.

 

[Oren1]

did it really? that movie sucked hairy balls. People might betired of this genre, I don't know, seeem like they pumped out a lot of these mediocre flicks the past few years. But no one seemed to care that Jeepers Creepers was hella gay, either.

 

[Gillian]

That's my point. Jeeper Creepers looked totally stupid to me. I'll never see that gay show, but look what happened. You can't go by what you want to see... you have to go by what the public is going to see. I think The Order is going to do about 10 million. I'm taken the high odds... great value. +160 The box office Report guy is predicting 11 million. He's good, and got me the win last week... so I'm going with him this weekend. THE ORDER... over 10 million at Intertops. +160

 

[Gillian]

I have a strong feeling that the David Spade fans will be coming out full force for Dickie Roberts Former Child Star. Plus, a lot of people who use to watch the old sitcoms will buy tickets just to see the cameos of the old stars from way back. Plus no other comedies are out. None. I'm eyeballing 11 million for +157. Kids will hit the theaters and this is all they can see.

Dickie Roberts vs The Order
Dickie Roberts -1 million, it's getting hammered at Olympic. Definitely wouldn't be my choice... what did Joe Dirt make, 1 million?

 

[Oren1]

his last two, joe dirt, and lost and found, did around 8 and 3

milion respectively. The order looks like a bomb as well, but I imagine it will do just as well, plus you get + 1 million. Wonder why Dickie Roberts is the favorite, I don't get it. I didn't even know it was based on an old t.v. show, does anyone care?

 

[Oren1]

well I guess I'm wrong about this weekend, the Order is going to bomb miserably.

 

[Gillian]

Not so fast... everyone thought Lost Souls would bomb too, but it pulled in over 9 million. MovieFone has THE ORDER right up at the top of their list at #2 most anticipated movie. Big Upset! THE ORDER at Intertops, 10 1/2 million (which means it only has to do 9.5 million, for a major +170. Big Upset, baby!! Those dumb fukkers are listening to that idiot form box office guru, and that guy doesn't know shit!!!!!

 

[Oren1]

heheh you think that's what it is? I don't know... I'm going to stay away this weekend and watch, the Order will be #1 and I'll be crying about it come saturday morning. gl maybe if the Jets win tonight I'll make a small play on the order +1 million. dicky roberts looks so lame.

 

[Gillian]

IMO, David Spade should be on Cell Block #5 getting his asshole tattooed with Big Bob's bad boy!!!!

 

[Oren1]

lol heath and david spade are going to get tied up and gang-banged s&m style by Freddy, Jason, and that guy from Jeepers Creepers this weekend.

Moviefone.com has THE ORDER as their #1 searched movie. Most popular. Intertops has 10 1/2 million (which is really 9 1/2 million or more) for a whopping +220. I am taking it. The odds are too good to pass up. Stigmata was underated and it pulled in 18 million back in 1999. Movie prices have gone up. This is a good bet!!!!! +220 Grab it while you can. I've laid down a $100 to get back a yummy $340

everyone at WSEX thinks its going under 6 million. I have no idea why, but I didn't touch it. The matchup went up to the Order +2 million as well. I'm sticking with foots this weekend, although I liked the value out for the Order, even though I have no desire what-so-ever to see any movie this weekend. Maybe the under will hit, who ****in knows.

 

[Gillian]

i am only taking it for the high odds. If the odds were'nt +220... I would have not touched it with a ten-foot pole. I took the long shot!

 

[Oren1]

they're marketing the hell out of matchstick men and once upon a time(while focusing on Johny Depp hoping for a Pirates correlation.) Wonder how next weekend is going to pan out.... hmmmm Underworld continuees to out-score Once Upon A Time on the buzz chart.

I just saw The Making OF UNDERWORLD on Cinemax and I'm not a Vampire fan, but it looks AWESOME!!!! VAMPIRES VS. WEREWOLFS. GREAT CONCEPT. I'M THINKING ABOUT TAKING IT.
