Nope...My Big Fat Greek had MONTHS of limited release WOM before going wide... Blair Witch only had one weekend in limited before going wide {nm}

DHD Wknd Estimates: SAW VI ($15.5), PNACT ($22.5), VAMPA ($6.5), ASBOY ($7), AMELA ($4) mickpix Oct 24, 23:47

I regret not shorting Saw VI - I shoulda thunk about it: With such heavy competition as [PNACT], it would crumble {nm} Facto Oct 25, 00:29

even against PNACT that's still an awful number {nm} mickpix Oct 25, 00:33

Paranormal no. 1 trending topic on Twitter right now, Saw not in top 10... {nm} Facto Oct 25, 00:50

so no one lone canadian leafs fan Oct 25, 00:52

if they put out 4 crappy movies again that nobody wants to see, it'll probably still be down {nm} mickpix Oct 25, 01:03

Again... the last four movies opened over $30 million.... that seems to disprove your "nobody wanted to see" argument secretstalker Oct 25, 02:08

i'm talking about the four new releases this week {nm} mickpix Oct 25, 02:19

Oh, sorry... I thought you were referring to Saw II through IV {nm} secretstalker Oct 25, 02:20

From what I read at Rotten Tomatoes, Saw has got comp also from the reviews inferior (23%) Law Abiding Citizen - as torture-porn goes... {nm} Facto Oct 25, 01:01

I find the comparisons between Law Abiding and Saw are ridiculous secretstalker Oct 25, 02:23

I haven't seen any direct comparisons, so far. What I've seen is the term "torture-porn" ascribed to both of them. {nm} Facto Oct 25, 03:24

lol at Saw and lol at me for longing Saw and everything except AMELA {nm} clonewars Oct 25, 00:51

Ouch. Only thing I went long on was Astro Boy. looks to be 3/4 not bad {nm} toughbax Oct 25, 01:29

I got ASBOY right by accident thatpj Oct 25, 01:55

I am the same boat long for everything except Amelia. The question is what to do no?. Flip today. Flip Tomorrow, do not flip at all? {nm} Guillo Oct 25, 06:05

PNACT will have grossed roughly $63 million by Sunday, having never been in more than 2,000 theaters secretstalker Oct 25, 02:15

Is PNACT the new MBFGW? ("My Blair Fat Greek Witch"?) {nm} second gary Oct 25, 07:56

Nope...My Big Fat Greek had MONTHS of limited release WOM before going wide... Blair Witch only had one weekend in limited before going wide secretstalker Oct 25, 08:15

lol, shorted AMELA @33 & VAMPA @ 32. Lucky shot!!! {nm} pongena2 Oct 25, 02:21

so roughly: saw6 (-$28.35), vampa (-$6.19), asboy (-$10.96), amela (-$4.72) An Islander on Elm Street Oct 25, 02:32

...and roughly H$2.5 Million if all correct. Heh. {nm} edzep Oct 25, 06:56

This has to be the longest time since I have gotten the entire weekend right; perhaps next week I have a chance :) {nm} sneak Oct 25, 07:42
