Movies

Not necessarily. The problem that surfaces with BO is in regard to extended weekends.

Unless specified with asterics's, BO usually is predicting the Weekend days only, despite early release.  So, it may be inferred that they are way out to lunch to think that the movie will make 18 mil in 5 days, or only be commenting on the weekend, in which case it could be 27 mil + the 18 mil predicted.  (numbers out of thin air for discussion purposes only).  Tough to say what they meant either way...

I am thinking they mean weekend only, meaning it will have a 3 day total attached to the 18 mil predicted.  (my opinion only as the only other option, again in my opinion, is that BO is on crack with this movie).

Sorry, don't like posting this stuff at reset but I missed notfabio's earlier Email and I just happened to be awake. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 11, 23:55

Hey, no worries, so am I... Thanks for the posting... {nm} VictorY Dec 11, 23:56

Typically, one would scream manipulation, but you are very reliable with RS, so you post when you can. Thx. {nm} PVL Admin Dec 12, 00:22

Low 40's is the five day total for TGRLW? {nm} RattyBatty Dec 12, 06:34

Is the 5 day going to be calculated at first 3 days + (3 x OW) or as a 5 Day x 2.0? I think the former, but would like to confirm. {nm} PVL Admin Dec 12, 10:38

DMac indicated for MISS4 that it would be previous BO+(2.2xFri-Mon). In TGRLW's case it would be (wed+thu)+(2.2xFri-Mon). {nm} Stonecutter's Anonymous Dec 12, 10:41

I should amend: DMac only gave the case for MISS4. I'm extrapolating and assuming it applies for the other Dec 21 openers as well. {nm} Paul2k Dec 12, 10:42

Makes sense to me as well. Especially if the movie is a similar situation release wise. {nm} PVL Admin Dec 12, 10:47

If RS's "low 40's" applies for just Fri-Sun, the stock is grossly underpriced. If it's the Fri-Mon, it's priced close. {nm} Paul2k Dec 12, 10:45

If it's the Wed-Sun or Wed-Mon, it's grossly overpriced. And of course, it IS RS, so we take it with a grain of salt. {nm} Paul2k Dec 12, 10:47
