I am as big a bull on Super 8 as anyone but why haven't they put the pedal to the metal on mktg? Are they going to pick it up? Or do they

feel less confident in its box office potential than many of we do? I am guessing it has to do with them not wanting to give anything away?

Thanks. But there should be a ban on posting rs or mca as long as they are in pvls bottom 3 :D {nm} islander May 15, 16:48

But if we ban them, how will I ever know if they have moved up? Perhaps a disclaimer stating, "here is the prediction from the worst site" {nm} PVL Admin May 15, 16:51

Hey, Rocket.... message for you in my PVL league {nm} eyescovered May 15, 16:56

on my way... {nm} PVL Admin May 15, 16:57

Expected for Pirates, TH2, and KFP2. Lantern and X-Men look overestimated to me. Super 8 is prob too low, but understandably this far out. {nm} ShawnMR May 15, 16:51

GL is underestimated... X-Men is probably about right. {nm} secretstalker May 15, 16:56

Dunno about GL. I second I think it looks awesome and next atrocious {nm} islander May 15, 16:59

People were saying that about Thor, too. {nm} secretstalker May 15, 17:14

X-Men looks really quite good so I buy the tracking. Way better than I thought it would look. {nm} HarryWarden May 15, 17:45

Wait... why is Super 8 underestimated because it's this far out but not GL which opens a week later? {nm} secretstalker May 15, 16:56

I would think that its much harder to gauge interest far out for an original film than a comic book adaptation. Plus, I just think Lantern ShawnMR May 15, 16:58

Is there legit buzz on Super 8 or am I just completely wrong? Starting to doubt a bit. {nm} GMov May 15, 18:01

Paramount has to use what little market space available to promote Panda and, up until this week, Thor. TV spots for S8 are going into heav ShawnMR May 15, 18:43

A couple of big changes there from their previous futures. PVL Admin May 15, 16:56

Thanks for catching those, PVL. The KFP2 decrease is interesting, but doesn't tracking historically drop the ball on big kids flicks? ShawnMR May 15, 17:00

Not RS.. they account for that stuff, but companies like NRG have to do special polls and surveys to make up for it. {nm} secretstalker May 15, 19:32

What about Judy Moody and the not bummer summer? I like a complete chart, and R {nm} PVL Admin May 15, 16:58

RS can't afford the zero right now :) {nm} PVL Admin May 15, 16:58

Why would RS's future predictions be included in your chart? I would think just opening week. {nm} secretstalker May 15, 16:59

Well, as you can see here on my long range accuracy tab...oh you can't? Go figure. Worry about what I post, not what I track. {nm} PVL Admin May 15, 17:04

Also, any info on Mr. Popper's Penguins? tia {nm} PVL Admin May 15, 16:59

where is the tree of life though! {nm} adn21 May 15, 18:07

To low to bother with is my guess. {nm} BionicMoron May 15, 18:27

It's a limited release {nm} tribefan695 May 15, 18:45
