New Release Date: [DB13U] February 5th, 2010   Antibody on Nov 20, 13:04

Some guys are going to like it :) My nephew (20) went to a theatre in NC where 5 screens were sold out and he said TWLI2    grammar on Nov 20, 12:47

money says he wears skinny jeans. {nm}   adrenalin112 on Nov 20, 12:56

...and lacy underthings. {nm}   HuskyMiller on Nov 20, 13:05

Smart money here says he was first in line for Adam Lambert tickets too {nm}   gmenrule on Nov 20, 13:33

...in lacy underthings. {nm}   HuskyMiller on Nov 20, 13:44

and heavy eye liner ! {nm}   gmenrule on Nov 20, 13:50

Ehrmm.... You are wise-cracking about her nephew...   Facto on Nov 20, 13:40

That is disgusting!!!!!!! {nm}   grammar on Nov 20, 13:27

FANDANGO Update: TWIL2 is now 85%, BLIND SIDE 8%, PRECIOUS 2%, PLANET 51 1%, 2012 1% of advance ticket sales   notfabio on Nov 20, 12:14

Fyi..at usual megaplex as of 12:30 PM PST it has already sold out 6 shows for today which hasn't happened since Transformers ROTF {nm}   notfabio on Nov 20, 12:48

How can it not make 101M this weekend, with such a headstart? That's the real Q. It can average 25M per three WE-days now, and break even   Facto on Nov 20, 13:48

It is a lock, I was a little nervous until my people not only sold out the middies but are holding tickets for the entire weekend.   damenchipguy on Nov 20, 13:59

Fandango trailer for Season of the Witch [SEWTC]   Antibody on Nov 20, 11:44

According to IMDb, Christopher Lee [CLEE] is attached.   eyescovered on Nov 20, 11:53

I don't attach solely by imdb, but Lionsgate Publicity lists him, thanks! {nm}   Antibody on Nov 20, 12:01

My bad. Now I'll know for next time! {nm}   eyescovered on Nov 20, 12:05

so is nick cage really in debt that bad? {nm}   adrenalin112 on Nov 20, 12:01

Hey! Fossilized dinosaur heads don't grow on trees, ya know! {nm}   eyescovered on Nov 20, 12:06

Cue NATR3, NATR4, NATR5, NATR6 and NATIONAL TREASURE THE TV SERIES {nm}   notfabio on Nov 20, 12:20

Though he turned down GHRNT! He can say No. {nm}   Antibody on Nov 20, 12:25

probably had to decide between doing just ghrnt or 3 other turds in the same time frame. {nm}   adrenalin112 on Nov 20, 12:40

Variety: 26.3 million for NEW MOON, 1.3 million for Original Gangsta Twilight. New Record for Midnight   notfabio on Nov 20, 11:04

Not too shabby. {nm}   HuskyMiller on Nov 20, 11:22

ComingSoon confirms. A new record. $26.27 million from 3,514 theaters. Beats out Half-Blood ($22.2) and Dark Knight ($18.4)   eyescovered on Nov 20, 11:38

That equals 71.01 towars the adjust from just midnight. {nm}   fourstars on Nov 20, 12:29

If it has the same ratio of midnights to regular shows as HPOT6 on opening day, that would be a 68.9M Friday. {nm}   Jelly on Nov 20, 13:09

Trailer for Letters to Juliet [LJULT]   Antibody on Nov 20, 10:20

Funds holding openers...   JBC_Corp on Nov 20, 10:09

bold move, there, EURO {nm}   ndmaster on Nov 20, 10:47

At least he's probably saving his fund from future commish expenses.. {nm}   Facto on Nov 20, 11:07

sure, thats a possibility. but i would rather take the higher probability bet   ndmaster on Nov 20, 11:52

even if it makes 100 mill, i think this will be H$2 mill+ short come delist time... {nm}   EuroFund on Nov 20, 11:55

Time's up. Here are the break even opening weekends and PTAs   RogerMore on Nov 20, 10:01

I flipped Blind Side to long at last minute.. giving it a chance.. Hope I am not blind sight ;-) {nm}   karspov on Nov 20, 10:05

My feeling is that BLDSD won't appeal much to either of its core audiences - women over 25 will be more interested in TWLI2 and   RogerMore on Nov 20, 10:13

I just think there's too much competition for the audience BLDSD is looking for {nm}   lapuckfan on Nov 20, 10:43

stayed long on TWLI2 ( should do over 115M {nm}   gmenrule on Nov 20, 10:58

nyt article about tyson best doc snub: director toback fighting mad, claims "extortion"   islander on Nov 20, 09:47

i saw it, it was OK, don't know about any best doc awards... {nm}   Apokalips on Nov 20, 10:40

Any final hour gut checks? I'm still long on TWLI2 (not maxed out and i may cash out before halt). Short on PLT51. Not playing BLDSD {nm}   eyescovered on Nov 20, 09:10

all are longs for me {nm}   JMT on Nov 20, 09:17

hastily long on twil2, long on bldsd, and short plt51 {nm}   adrenalin112 on Nov 20, 09:23

Aw what the heck... Long for BLDSD. It's fake money! {nm}   eyescovered on Nov 20, 09:26

If BLDSD does well, then I will infer that TWIL2 spillover sought it out, and if not, then, that TWIL2 sponged up anyone who'd've gone.   second gary on Nov 20, 09:36

Agreed. If it gets the spillover it's a long. If not, it's prolly a wash. I see a lot of ads for it on TV, so that may help. {nm}   eyescovered on Nov 20, 09:40

Definite Long for vampire.short the other 2.holdin the same for ADJUS.would really love to see how ss feels about this week's openers ;) {nm}   karspov on Nov 20, 09:29

according to his column he thinks BLDSD is a wash and PLT51 a short, but he's probably had a few last minute changes of mind since then :) {nm}   RogerMore on Nov 20, 09:32

link ? ( secret, is that you ? ) {nm}   JMT on Nov 20, 09:44

First rule of ST - do not talk about ss's column {nm}   RogerMore on Nov 20, 10:14

Short TWLI2 {nm}   EuroFund on Nov 20, 09:43

Short "The Vampires of Madison County", Long "My Son is a large Homeless Black Kid" and short the other cartoon piece crap. {nm}   HuskyMiller on Nov 20, 09:57

Actually I meant to say long on "The Vampires of Madison County." Opps! {nm}   HuskyMiller on Nov 20, 10:02

new moon keep it or not?    skrogulski on Nov 20, 09:01

Hurt me to stay in theater had to sell would feel guilty keeping garbage {nm}   Srhfrstn on Nov 20, 09:06

more spam {nm}   JMT on Nov 20, 09:07

Indeed.    Facto on Nov 20, 09:12

You saw the special director's cut three month long version, you mean... And lived to tell? Seriously though, spoiler alert, and what not... {nm}   Facto on Nov 20, 09:09

Don't matter whether or not the movie is good, only matters how much money it makes! {nm}   eyescovered on Nov 20, 09:11

werd. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - 19% Rotten / $402million LOL {nm}   adrenalin112 on Nov 20, 09:22

These flicks are like spoiled milk: you know it stinks, but you're gonna smell it anyway. {nm}   HuskyMiller on Nov 20, 09:34

Nikki: No official numbers yet, but rival studios say 23-24M for TWLI2 midnights.   Jelly on Nov 20, 08:52

Just heard on the radio that [TWLI2] did $22M at midnight! What does this mean to you? {nm}   CP7x77 on Nov 20, 08:19

That would make it essentially even with HPOT6 for the midnight record. {nm}   Jelly on Nov 20, 08:21

BOM says HPOT6 did $77.8M opening weekend. Doesn't this suggest HSX might be overshooting this one a bit? {nm}   CP7x77 on Nov 20, 08:30

But it also opened on a Wednesday, when it grossed 58M if I remember right.   Jelly on Nov 20, 08:32

And also, by delist, it had made $273,848,633 - at least how I just read BOM-figures {nm}   Facto on Nov 20, 08:36

Here's the HSX adjust data for HPOT6, if anyone finds that interesting   Facto on Nov 20, 08:40

you cant compare hpot6 to new moon for the simple fact that.... this isnt the summer. {nm}   adrenalin112 on Nov 20, 08:40

and (correct me if i'm wrong) wasn't hpot6 a wednesday opening? {nm}   eyescovered on Nov 20, 08:41

Yes, made approx 80 million Wedn and Thursd business, followed by approximately the same amount on the WE (Fri-Sun) {nm}   Facto on Nov 20, 08:43

The problem with predicting this movie is that we all know it will be ridiculously front loaded. {nm}   grengrad on Nov 20, 08:22

Perhaps, but there'll also be a lot of repeat viewings... {nm}   Facto on Nov 20, 08:24

Well, first movie did just 20% of OD gross in midnights. {nm}   liuk on Nov 20, 08:26

The figure 110 pops up - if this one plays out in a similary fashion, that is {nm}   Facto on Nov 20, 08:28

Right. This could conceivably stay under HPOT6's opening day, have a <2.0 Friday-to-weekend multiplier like the first movie, and break even. {nm}   Jelly on Nov 20, 08:26

Meaning there's barely any downside to speak of anylonger (not that that's surprising)? {nm}   Facto on Nov 20, 08:31

Yeah, I really doubt it. That midnight number is too big for me to worry one bit about my long. {nm}   Jelly on Nov 20, 08:32

Will this 22M be added to TWLI2's total weekend gross? {nm}   karspov on Nov 20, 08:45

Absolutely - it's part of Friday's take {nm}   Facto on Nov 20, 08:48

MTC Comparisons...   notfabio on Nov 20, 07:37

59% better than the orignal Twilight {nm}   notfabio on Nov 20, 07:40

And vs Half-Blood Prince? {nm}   Facto on Nov 20, 07:43

I don't have access to HP6's numbers this morning but it's 41% better than HP5 {nm}   notfabio on Nov 20, 07:52

any numbers on the blind side and planet 51? {nm}   kyrell on Nov 20, 07:55

BLIND SIDE was less than 6K, but that's to be expected, it definitely wasn't a midnight film. {nm}   notfabio on Nov 20, 07:59

Thank you. That would probably put it below HPOT6's 22.2M, but not by much. {nm}   Jelly on Nov 20, 07:59

Actually, it probably did beat it, considering so many new theaters had midnights last night. {nm}   Jelly on Nov 20, 08:05

New Moon 2nd hand theater report from midnight showing   gmenrule on Nov 20, 03:39

New Moon   g2 on Nov 20, 03:05

man, you are my hero, 30 years old and still hanging with the college chicks {nm}   gmenrule on Nov 20, 03:40

Surely, a shining example for all of us - with him all the way! ;-) {nm}   Facto on Nov 20, 04:16

O.k. people, you've finally sucked me in: I just went long on Twlight. This better work!!! {nm}   HuskyMiller on Nov 20, 01:01

Just when I thought I was out....   Facto on Nov 20, 01:04

Are you in Facto? Will you hold my hand? {nm}   HuskyMiller on Nov 20, 01:07

Sure - here's to what's hopefully yet another golden parachute, so to speak... {nm}   Facto on Nov 20, 01:19

this should do at least 115-120M, in my opinion {nm}   gmenrule on Nov 20, 03:47

Doesn't Grand Moff Tarkin say "This [had] better work" to Darth Vader just before, well, you know? {nm}   second gary on Nov 20, 07:53

"PHENOMENAL! BREAKING RECORDS!" 'New Moon' Doing 'Dark Knight' Midnights....*nikki finke*   ConrocK on Nov 20, 00:41

21 screens at Usual Megaplex. {nm}   notfabio on Nov 20, 01:03

I've seen a few locations pulling in 35-45K individually. I'd be shocked if it isn't the new midnight champ. {nm}   notfabio on Nov 20, 01:38

How soon she forgets about Half-Blood Prince lol {nm}   Mattrek on Nov 20, 01:18

She should read our board! Geez...tried to help her out with my "flashback" post! ;-) {nm}   Catzan on Nov 20, 02:25

I thought she did/does. :) {nm}   grammar on Nov 20, 06:07

Early gutchecks? long for now on new moon, blindside. maybe short w/plt51.   islander on Nov 20, 00:25

Long moon, shorting the rest {nm}   Matts on Nov 20, 00:28

Ditto {nm}   Chefbobcat on Nov 20, 03:48

Long the Emo vampire flick, short everything else. {nm}   Smelly Monkey on Nov 20, 00:30

Long Moon and Blindside. Short Planet....do you mean $80m for Moon alone on Friday?! {nm}   Somerset on Nov 20, 00:32

just a gut feeling, but yes :) {nm}   islander on Nov 20, 00:34

if this be true, then it has started...the end of the world as we know it.... {nm}   Somerset on Nov 20, 00:45

A horseman of the apocalypse..... ? =)) {nm}   Facto on Nov 20, 01:05

There's a joke in there somewhere of the 4 filmakers of the apocalypse. Uwe Boll would be one of them I'm sure {nm}   mrbeankc on Nov 20, 01:19

How can Roland Emmerich possibly not be one of the others.....   Facto on Nov 20, 01:21

Heh...not far behind you gutting a 70m Friday. Course, I am watching for the tumble that may be on Saturday. {nm}   Catzan on Nov 20, 02:23

Let's not forget about all those girlies and women who've sworn they'll see it several times - they'll go again with someone they persuade.. {nm}   Facto on Nov 20, 07:55

Long them all. This weekend everyone goes to the movies, the Oprah-crowd, the kiddies, and the vampirelovers {nm}   JMT on Nov 20, 00:41

LONG New Moon, Short Planet and Blind Side {nm}   thatpj on Nov 20, 01:09

Longing everything from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. {nm}   mrbeankc on Nov 20, 01:16

I'm sitting this one out, but my gut feelings are to SHORT THEM ALL. {nm}   Mattrek on Nov 20, 01:20

sitting out the biggest weekend of the year ??? Lol ;-P {nm}   JMT on Nov 20, 01:35

Long on TWLI2 of course... Riding that gravy train...... Not sure I'll even play the others, but could both also be long at current price. {nm}   Facto on Nov 20, 01:46

I'll be longing that Vampire brill creme infested flick. I haven't decided on the other two. Right now I would say long on Blind too. {nm}   Catzan on Nov 20, 02:21

long moon, shorting the other 2. {nm}   kyrell on Nov 20, 03:11

Long vampires, werewolves & football... Short the animated aliens. {nm}   joeoftexas on Nov 20, 03:35

LONG, the question isnt can it break 100 its can it break 130 or 140 {nm}   Laprawler509 on Nov 20, 05:46

long new moon, short the rest   ndmaster on Nov 20, 06:45

TWLI2 - no brainer long, PLT51 - short (lookslike it's just for very young kids), BLDSD - short but wavering. CAINE is playing BLDSD {nm}   RogerMore on Nov 20, 06:49

Long all. {nm}   second gary on Nov 20, 08:15

Long moon and planet, short the blind... {nm}   Lukasck on Nov 20, 08:21

I must be the only idiot in the bunch. SHORT New Moon. Long the other two. {nm}   icecreamman on Nov 20, 08:57

Mini-milestone...but they're few and far between these days.........H4.5 BILLION!! {nm}   MojaveMeg on Nov 20, 00:11

WTG! {nm}   Matts on Nov 20, 00:13

Good one ! Play New Moon right and you'll celebrate 5B soon ;-) {nm}   JMT on Nov 20, 00:17

Super! {nm}   islander on Nov 20, 00:18

You Sir have earned the much coveted HSX #2 pencil INCLUDING eraser. Congratulations indeed. {nm}   HuskyMiller on Nov 20, 01:11
