rode it long to 138.49 and shorted it there a couple days ago.....going to be a nice overall profit. {nm} lobogotti Oct 28, 12:07

40 through sunday? doesnt that seem kind of light? {nm} tbonearelli Oct 28, 12:21

I think it is light, i also think it might be a break even on it {nm} gmenrule Oct 28, 12:24

im thinking 50 range is reasonable - the target audience too specific {nm} tbonearelli Oct 28, 13:15

YOu can break even on 40. {nm} Antibody Oct 28, 13:23

Doh, I meant you CAN'T break even on 40. {nm} Antibody Oct 28, 13:24

There's nothing opening this week, and last week's holdovers are crap. I'd say 40 mil in five days is conservative. {nm} Movienaut Oct 28, 13:01

If they set expectations low, it's easier to exceed them. {nm} warcraft86 Oct 28, 13:06

You mean unlike AEG's $250m talk? ;-) {nm} Catzan Oct 28, 13:08

Well AEG isn't Sony, and I think that was worldwide gross. {nm} warcraft86 Oct 28, 13:17

But if Saturday acts like a holiday Monday...then I have hopes I finally made a good EAP guess! =) {nm} Catzan Oct 28, 13:07

IMO, this movie is close to Star Wars. Compugasm Oct 28, 19:13

HEEEEEE-HEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!! {nm} gmenrule Oct 28, 12:17

Shamon! {nm} PappaAl Oct 28, 12:28

What does that phrase even mean? I've always been kinda curious about it... {nm} Facto Oct 28, 12:36

Cha-mon mother f***** (link) ethorn Oct 28, 13:29

Shamon is usually followed by a crotch grab, followed by a HEEEE-HEEEEEEEEEEEEE, followed by a spinning twirl {nm} gmenrule Oct 28, 13:02

the way Michael sings sometimes, it's probably a butchering of something...like "Jam on." {nm} tealfan Oct 28, 13:17

err...sang {nm} tealfan Oct 28, 13:17

Urban Dictionary: Michael Jackson's way of saying "C'mon!". Antibody Oct 28, 15:09

That's what I always usually thought it meant :-) Thanks! {nm} Facto Oct 28, 22:36

Everyone who goes long will have the last laugh on Sunday...great number for non-summer mid-week! {nm} RoBoGuru Oct 28, 13:06

Non-summer mid-week midnight shows...again, wait until Sunday. {nm} RoBoGuru Oct 28, 13:08
