Here are my early thoughts on [TGRLW] TheWeekendWarrior Oct 31, 15:44

Sounds reasonable. I wasn't thinking that big of a first weekend myself. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Oct 31, 16:03

A good analysis; I'm more pessimistic about its OW, with a lower overall total as well {nm} xiayun Oct 31, 16:14

WW, do you really think that this book's American notoriety is on par (or even that close) with that of The Da Vinci Code? I definitely Ruthian23 Oct 31, 16:19

A crazy forecast, but not impossible. {nm} firedeep Oct 31, 18:15

Good article. Actually I think your numbers are low (despite being well ahead of most). Think it'll open around $50MM and end up with $230M {nm} GMov Oct 31, 18:32

BTW, glad to see you still in the prognostication business. I think there's a real dearth of fwd-looking articles, vs. just predictions the GMov Oct 31, 18:34

I wonder what the book sales were for DVINC vs. TGRLW? second gary Oct 31, 18:48

Book sale numbers are so often specious. When sahara came out, didn't they claim Clive cussler had a billion books in print? :) {nm} islander Oct 31, 19:05

FWIW, Wikipedia claims (and cites) sources that say 80M for Da Vinci and 30M for the first Girl. Ruthian23 Oct 31, 19:07

My sense is that Dan Brown would have had a much, much, much wider readership than Larsson... second gary Oct 31, 19:14

Tom hanks and a lighter tone make it totally impertinent I'd think {nm} islander Oct 31, 19:21

TGRLW...Xmas on a Sunday is bad...it is best in the middle of the week...I think $200M is a stretch... Latinman4747 Oct 31, 19:32

Great stuff... WW... I'm glad to see you doing these... {nm} VictorY Nov 01, 07:48

Book fans have already seen the well done Swedish ver., the 'R' rating, the competition, all spell doom for this... {nm} RoBoGuru Nov 01, 07:51

Regarding your opening weekend, is that 5 day, 12-21 through 12-25? I was thinking that same ballpark if it's 5 days. goodvibe61 Nov 01, 10:01
