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 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
