Playing & Trading Strategy

Just a gut feeling.. I've usually had a good sense of box office.

Posted by: Baron_Darcon on Nov 20, 01:54 in response to Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin's post And you base this on... ? {nm}

Based on huge movies coming out.

Also, I guess a good portion of the diehards that have read the Extened Universe might be put off and only see it once. Judging from Jar Jar Abrams past performances his movies always have  plot holes  MI3, Star Treks, Lost, Fringe, etc.  

The only good movie he's done is Super 8.

As you can tell I don't have high hopes and I know HISHE  and Everything Wrong With.. will very likely be able rip hard on them.

A small bet.... MattW Nov 17, 19:12

oh my vader {nm} DiNar0 Nov 17, 19:38

I'm really excited, not only for the film, but because over half my net worth is tied up in STAR7. Exogen Nov 18, 15:41

Not yet... MattW Nov 19, 11:28

Both Jurassic World and Avengers were underestimated (by 4 and 7 mil) {nm} JDolphin Nov 19, 18:01

and for the purpose of HSX on Saturday evening - the Sunday estimate is what matters {nm} JDolphin Nov 19, 18:11

For the adjust yeah, for my bet I'm going by actuals. {nm} MattW Nov 19, 18:33

Well, I've enjoyed competing with you, and I will miss it. ;) {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Nov 19, 13:49

We'll be competing for a while to come don't you worry XD {nm} MattW Nov 19, 14:22

I agree it'll probably under 200 million OW. I don't think it'll have staying power earn about $480 million overall. Baron_Darcon Nov 19, 15:20

You need to look at the history of Christmas to New Years box office if you think STaR7 is going to have that poor of a delist {nm} JDolphin Nov 19, 18:15

I dunno MattW - $50M already in presales. {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Nov 19, 16:59

If I'm wrong you can rub it in my face as much as you want.... MattW Nov 19, 18:36

I find your lack of faith disturbing. :) {nm} Iger Nov 19, 17:21
