Everyone has an off week...

Posted by: secretstalker (a.k.a TheWeekendWarrior) on Oct 24, 04:58 in response to thatpj's post None of the established Box Office sites did . . .

if it were that easy or any kind of exact science then there would be no need for anyone to even give it a try. The fact is that all those sites posting predictions (including myself) put a lot of time into their efforts and are mostly doing a good amount of research beforehand. Most people do find their information useful and in fact, HSX prices have often been even FURTHER off and away from adjust before these predictions are posted. (If you don't believe me, check out the high prices on VAMPA, AMELA and some of the others)

DHD: No #s yet. Headline sez "'Paranormal Activity' Scares Up Friday Crown; 'Saw VI' Scares Away Audiences; 'Vampire's Assistant' Can't mickpix Oct 24, 00:03

UPSET of the century! {nm} thatpj Oct 24, 00:16

Actually There Was A Strong Possibility Of This Happening Since PA Gained So Much Buzz. {nm} wrongturn687 Oct 24, 00:21

Yeah, a few of us called it {nm} xiayun Oct 24, 00:32

None of the established Box Office sites did . . . thatpj Oct 24, 00:42

None of the established site are actually that accurate throughout their history xiayun Oct 24, 01:18

It's nice having you here, but if all you're going to do is pimp your website or competing message boards... secretstalker Oct 24, 04:55

I'm not pimping any particular site xiayun Oct 24, 09:00

I like your posts. Good to have more folks predicting. Some people "in the biz" as well as in HSX (myself included)have blind spots, so Catzan Oct 24, 15:36

Thanks xiayun Oct 24, 21:59

Everyone has an off week... secretstalker Oct 24, 04:58

Thhat was just to point out thatpj Oct 24, 23:55

hardly. PNACT is the hottest horror thing since Blair Witch and SAW VI is well the sixth movie in a series that hasn't been hot for years {nm} mickpix Oct 24, 00:22

"If it's Halloween...it has to be 'Paranormal Activity: Again'" Can't wait til next year...**siiiigh** {nm} Catzan Oct 24, 00:28

*koff*Blair Witch 2 *koff* secretstalker Oct 24, 05:08

So consistently opening at 25+ isn't hot? Ah to be a jaded box office "projector" again . . . {nm} thatpj Oct 24, 00:28

not when the first installments routinely broke $30 million. it's been slowly and steadily declining {nm} mickpix Oct 24, 00:31

Yeah Saw 5 ONLY opened to 30M. For Shame! thatpj Oct 24, 00:36

sequels are supposed to do *better* than the originals. see? {nm} mickpix Oct 24, 00:40

You said that the series wasn't "hot," when it clearly is. Quit digging yourself a bigger hole ; ) {nm} thatpj Oct 24, 00:43

oh, clearly {nm} mickpix Oct 24, 07:24

It is *hoped* a sequel will do better than the original. It's not always the case filmjerkcom Oct 24, 01:11

Epic smackdown. Saw has a chance to pass Jason to be the most successful horror franchise of all time. {nm} horlicks Oct 24, 04:46

Some people expected this franchise to tank two installments ago... secretstalker Oct 24, 05:02

I think they need to strike while the 3D iron is hot. bring it our next year...then some str8t to DVD company buy #8 and do it. Bleh...we Catzan Oct 24, 15:31

Saw is a huge success and will continue to be Spike Oct 24, 01:02

Of course, the one SAW movie I don't short finally does tank big time... secretstalker Oct 24, 04:40

but there's a Canadian girl ! lone canadian leafs fan Oct 24, 05:10

I thought the price was near a wash, and I did not play what will be the biggest mover; no wonder I am stuck on 79M {nm} damenchipguy Oct 24, 08:42

Looking at 54% drop for Wild Things... WOM that it's not a kid's movie has done its job {nm} secretstalker Oct 24, 04:45

Looks like xiayun and horlick's (and MTC) were right about Astro Boy secretstalker Oct 24, 04:47

The way I am holding it Post adjust has made me more money then what I held it at over it's OW! {nm} thatpj Oct 24, 23:52
