Wow {nm} Dales Jun 29, 13:05

+1... {nm} VictorY Jun 29, 13:08

In for 100k on Ted at $28 and Magic Mike at $25. I knew they'd do better than recently priced. :) {nm} MiyazakiFan Jun 29, 13:11

Seth MacFarlane is probably the world's biggest GI Joe fan right now. ShaneSpear Jun 29, 13:15

I'm at Ted...packed house in large theater...rare for matinee. Funny movie. Crowd loving it. Am guessing $50MM+ {nm} GMov Jun 29, 13:31

I think Magic Mike will be revised up also. $35MM+. {nm} GMov Jun 29, 13:32

It'll definitely be revised up; she is not taking into account of how crazy Friday night is going to be for this film {nm} xiayun Jun 29, 13:38

I agree. {nm} grammar Jun 29, 13:56

already have your tix? :) {nm} tealfan Jun 29, 15:04

But of course =) {nm} grammar Jun 29, 16:42

$200m+ total for Ted? Pretty possible {nm} xiayun Jun 29, 13:33

really... sounds quite high! {nm} Oleg Max Jun 29, 13:35

It's looking at $50m+ with a $20m Friday, and being in the summer, with good WOM, 4.0 multiplier is not hard to achieve {nm} xiayun Jun 29, 13:42

4 would really be hard to achieve... unless its another Hangover. {nm} Oleg Max Jun 29, 13:45

Horrible Bosses: 4.15, Wedding Crashers: 6.17, Knocked Up: 4.85, 21 Jump Street (non-summer): 3.81 xiayun Jun 29, 13:53

true, but non of those opened to 40+. I point is there is a finite amount of moviegoers. once initial demand is filled, there might not be Oleg Max Jun 29, 13:59

^I = My^ {nm} Oleg Max Jun 29, 13:59

Note to Antibody: get ready for TED.BW and MGKMK.BW Predict l'eggs (Ooops typo) on the latter. {nm} BUY StarBondFund Jun 29, 13:35

crap...what a time for the Internet to go down at work...well still plenty of money to be made it seems {nm} tealfan Jun 29, 14:07

MGCMK just keeps giving, and giving. I might watch it just to see what's making me all these $H. {nm} elchan Jun 29, 14:16

Any idea on how high MGCMK is gonna go? 90? 95? 100?!?!? {nm} Niles2828 Jun 29, 14:18

312.50 {nm} Tanker Jun 29, 14:20

Personally, I think that MGCMK will have more legs than TED. I can definitely see the ladies going back for a double dip of the CTATU sauce {nm} elchan Jun 29, 14:29

HOLY CRAP. {nm} dsbman Jun 29, 15:20

Damn and i cashed out at $98 {nm} NineTailFox Jun 29, 15:22

Unbelievable. If TASM miraculously breaks out next week I'm taking that break I alluded to last night, heh. {nm} ShawnMR Jun 29, 15:40

Guess who forgot to cover TED.OW? That's ok, I forgot to sell MAGMK.OW as well, so it should break even... {nm} PVL Admin Jun 29, 18:14
