New Accurate Opening Weekend Gross Projection Tool

Posted by: The_Movie_Projector on Jul 22, 09:13

Hi

I've been a HSX player for the past two years and have had mediocre success at best.
The past three months have been absolutely dismal with me losing $9 million.  I'm a
software engineer so I decided to create an application that I call The Movie Projector to do the picking for me.
It predicts the opening weekend grosses of movies based on the performance of
past similar movies while taking inflation into account.  It's been in operation for the last month and has posted
an average error of 12% while HSX and BoxOfficeGuru are both around 24%.
I started using it to do my picking last week and have already increased
my net worth by $2 million.

Last week The Movie Projector projected an opening take of $57.5 million for Inception.
Much of the time leading up to release the price on HSX was hovering
around $195, for a projected $72.3 million opening.  Inception took in $60.4 million and adjusted to $162, netting
me a profit of around $1.6 million.

The most accurate projection so far was The Karate Kid at $55.72 million which opened
with $55.65 million, a difference of only $107,000.

Anyways I am proud of The Movie Projector and would like to let others benifit from
it too, so I've created a twitter account where you can follow me and I will post weekly projections.

As an incentive to come see me over at twitter, there is a very big opportunity
to make a large amount of money this week with Salt that I will be posting.

Thanks and hope to see you soon.
