Again... the last four movies opened over $30 million.... that seems to disprove your "nobody wanted to see" argument

Posted by: secretstalker (a.k.a TheWeekendWarrior) on Oct 25, 02:08 in response to mickpix's post if they put out 4 crappy movies again that nobody wants...

Just because YOU didn't want to see them, that didn't mean they had no merit or fans. I actually liked a number of the sequels MORE than the original movie, including the last one.  But the new one was crap and it didn't seem like Lionsgate was even trying this time in terms of marketing. Figured they could just throw it out there and it would make them money.

DHD Wknd Estimates: SAW VI ($15.5), PNACT ($22.5), VAMPA ($6.5), ASBOY ($7), AMELA ($4) mickpix Oct 24, 23:47

I regret not shorting Saw VI - I shoulda thunk about it: With such heavy competition as [PNACT], it would crumble {nm} Facto Oct 25, 00:29

even against PNACT that's still an awful number {nm} mickpix Oct 25, 00:33

Paranormal no. 1 trending topic on Twitter right now, Saw not in top 10... {nm} Facto Oct 25, 00:50

so no one lone canadian leafs fan Oct 25, 00:52

if they put out 4 crappy movies again that nobody wants to see, it'll probably still be down {nm} mickpix Oct 25, 01:03

i'm talking about the four new releases this week {nm} mickpix Oct 25, 02:19

Oh, sorry... I thought you were referring to Saw II through IV {nm} secretstalker Oct 25, 02:20

From what I read at Rotten Tomatoes, Saw has got comp also from the reviews inferior (23%) Law Abiding Citizen - as torture-porn goes... {nm} Facto Oct 25, 01:01

I find the comparisons between Law Abiding and Saw are ridiculous secretstalker Oct 25, 02:23

I haven't seen any direct comparisons, so far. What I've seen is the term "torture-porn" ascribed to both of them. {nm} Facto Oct 25, 03:24

lol at Saw and lol at me for longing Saw and everything except AMELA {nm} clonewars Oct 25, 00:51

Ouch. Only thing I went long on was Astro Boy. looks to be 3/4 not bad {nm} toughbax Oct 25, 01:29

I got ASBOY right by accident thatpj Oct 25, 01:55

I am the same boat long for everything except Amelia. The question is what to do no?. Flip today. Flip Tomorrow, do not flip at all? {nm} Guillo Oct 25, 06:05

PNACT will have grossed roughly $63 million by Sunday, having never been in more than 2,000 theaters secretstalker Oct 25, 02:15

Is PNACT the new MBFGW? ("My Blair Fat Greek Witch"?) {nm} second gary Oct 25, 07:56

Nope...My Big Fat Greek had MONTHS of limited release WOM before going wide... Blair Witch only had one weekend in limited before going wide {nm} secretstalker Oct 25, 08:15

lol, shorted AMELA @33 & VAMPA @ 32. Lucky shot!!! {nm} pongena2 Oct 25, 02:21

so roughly: saw6 (-$28.35), vampa (-$6.19), asboy (-$10.96), amela (-$4.72) An Islander on Elm Street Oct 25, 02:32

...and roughly H$2.5 Million if all correct. Heh. {nm} edzep Oct 25, 06:56

This has to be the longest time since I have gotten the entire weekend right; perhaps next week I have a chance :) {nm} sneak Oct 25, 07:42
