Torque over 10 million

[Oren1]

-120.

Yeah it looks pretty lame, but didn't Biker Boyz and the Fast and the Furious movies? Biker Boyz made 10 million in 700 fewer theaters, I'm thinking Ice Cube along with the decent stunts and special effects in the previews will edge this one over 10 million by a small margin.

 

[Gillian]

How small?

 

[Big-KO]

I don't bet on the box office... but it looks interesting. I myself think Torque looks pretty good - it reminds me of the Fast and the Furious.

Actually, I think it looks pretty good, too. (but I didn't want to admit it)

 

[Oren1]

lol I didn't want to admit it either, but it actually doesn't look too bad.

I don't know Gil, still no sign of it on Moviefone, but what do you think, 12 million? 11.5 to 13.9 doesn't look too appealing to me though, but who knows. With that WSEX line I'd say 12.1 to 17.49 for Along Came Polly is a safer bet.

 

[Gillian]

You mean Intertops, fool! You had me confused.

 

[Oren1]

I was refering to the line WSEX put up, what, 16 million? so that's what it's tracking at, making the 12 to 18 million bracket look very good. I hit it dawg

 

[Gillian]

Aaah, I see. Stupid me. Yeah, that's a good bet for sure. I think +130 is great value for TORQUE... i might go all out on this one. It looks WAY, WAY better than Biker Boyz. Plus it's a video game on the net.

 

[Gillian]

The BOX OFFICE REPORT guy is predicting ALONG CAME POLLY to pull in about 24 million for the 3-day, 26 for the 4-day long weekend.

 

[Oren1]

WTF!? Where in the hell did WSEX get 16 million for their line for Along Came Polly?!?!

 

[Gillian]

That's twice in a row where they've been majorly off. I think they've lost their hollywood tracking conncection. It's easier $$$ from here on out. (jinx)

(does that feel good)

 

[Oren1]

well, ain't that a bitch, Box Office Mojo has torque's 3 day number at 10,000,000 to the dollar. Not sure what Variety is going to report, I suspect it will be the same. Funny how accurate this line was compared to Along Came Polly.

 

[Gillian]

If it's 10 million... then it's under. always goes under a bit.

what did u bet.

 

[TheTruthBeTold]

11.7 mil was the final projections for the four day weekend. Congrats to all those who bet right.

 

[Oren1]

well the bet was for 3 days and it made 9,970,000 dollars.
