why you were in the minority in considering SMURF to be a box office disappointment. If you read this board more often, you would have seen links to all the major entertainment news sources talking about how the movie has exceeded expectations, how it has developed good legs, how it has done quite well worldwide, and how worldwide grosses have been increasingly playing a big part in whether or not a studio greenlights a sequel. So, point 2 rebuffed.

What I don't understand is how you don't know that whether or not SMURF moves up in a day has absolutely NO BEARING on the performance of SMRF2. They are two separate stocks, being driven by different factors. A trader of over 10 years should know this. Point 3 rebuffed.

And to say that you have never seen a stock with only a release date move over 20% indicates that you probably only play sporadically, because, hello, DESM2, PIRT5, FAST6, THOR2, CAPA2...and those are only in the past few months. They ALL jumped huge amounts in the first few days after IPO, and none of them even had a release date yet. Point 1 rebuffed.

Read the boards more. If you do, I promise you, you will become better at this game.

300mil in 4 weekends, made its budget back domestically, everyone knows its a hit you're just trying to stir the point just to stir the pot. {nm} Moviesnob Aug 21, 20:12

Not sure where you are getting 300mil$ as everything i have read says it has not reached chipmonks 224 million Dacies18 Aug 21, 20:15

329 worldwide. {nm} dsbman Aug 21, 20:31

odd Dacies18 Aug 21, 20:12

i think there is a question here tho, more volume yesterday, but more movement today, there seems to be no method to the madness Fitch3k Aug 21, 20:14

it IPOed yesterday {nm} Moviesnob Aug 21, 20:15

Not to mention Dacies18 Aug 21, 20:20

Are you new to this game? Have you not seen the way IPOs, especially IPOs with actual release dates, especially IPOs of recent, fairly Paul2k Aug 21, 20:26

hes just trying to move the stock (and it worked) {nm} Moviesnob Aug 21, 20:27

Smurfs will pass Chipmunks in a few days to take the all-time top spot amongst children's movies with CGI stars {nm} Power87 Aug 21, 20:36

Replying to trolls gets them the movement they want b/c it gets people to read their troll posts {nm} alfpaul Aug 21, 22:56

I'm brand new to the game Ruthian23 Aug 21, 20:34

Hi Ruthian, welcome to the game. I see you've already doubled your port since you joined. Great job! As for the previous discussions: Paul2k Aug 21, 20:48

Thanks for the summary. Much appreciated! {nm} Ruthian23 Aug 22, 00:06

I'm not sure you understand how HSX works Jane_Citizen Aug 21, 20:37

Stocks are frozen until their initial IPO share offering is bought up, not until midnight. {nm} dsbman Aug 21, 20:50

Well, technically, it's frozen until whichever one of those two conditions is met first. {nm} Paul2k Aug 21, 20:53

Yes that's correct, apologies {nm} Jane_Citizen Aug 21, 21:06

that's not how IPOs work, there is an intial amount of shares offered at the IPO price when they are gone it's open to market demand. Fitch3k Aug 21, 23:20

yes I've confused the issue. The price unfreezes at midnight or when all of the initial offering is sold. sorry {nm} Jane_Citizen Aug 22, 00:18

I'm still trying to figure out how Smurfs 1 tanked... {nm} stevie1der328 Aug 22, 03:32

Lol. No kidding. It exceeded almost everybody's expectations. {nm} Juiced Aug 22, 04:32
