PRESALES

Posted by: adrenalin112 on Nov 11, 10:37 in response to evwarsh's post I wanted numbers mixed with reason

WILD seemed to have respectable presales.  enough to deserve what i thought would be a 35mil open, obviously i read it wrong and learned a lesson.

-JACKO was "reporting" epic presales, but as the opening date drew closer, all those who had reported started to fold their hands and back down from their record breaking predicitions.  the short became evident.

-CAROL reminded me alot of WILD.  had similarly timed above average presales and a 3d/imax bump.  so i figured it would do slightly better than wild, but not by that much. 

 

while i feel strong about the numbers on twilight, theres always a very likely chance i can get burned. 

:/ but oh well.

From my not so scientific analysis I do not believe The Twilight Saga: New Moon [TWLI2] is worth $237.61 evwarsh Nov 11, 08:36

Yes, you are missing something, this thing has massive presales and will have a huge OW {nm} clonewars Nov 11, 08:46

well This Is It had huge presales and it tanked (in HSX $$ - I know it made lots in the the real world). evwarsh Nov 11, 08:49

the comparison is not even close to valid. never underestimate the collective buying power of teenage girls. {nm} click999 Nov 11, 08:50

Well the last movie the HSX users seemed to overestimate the collective buying power of teenage girls - by a lot evwarsh Nov 11, 08:54

lol I realized after i posted it some people wouldnt get it - I was comparing it to the first twilight movie. evwarsh Nov 11, 09:07

how about transformers? Twilight on dvd/blu ray sold more copies over the first two weeks than Transformers 2 {nm} Moviesnob Nov 11, 09:12

Compare LOTR 1, to 2 to 3. Batman Begins to TDK, etc., Spider-Man 1 to 2, Pirates 1 to 2, MiyazakiFan Nov 11, 09:18

wow, glad adrenalin112 is keeping the forums classy 'round here. {nm} skamanfu Nov 11, 09:11

hsx needs to scribble him and ban the f word islander Nov 11, 09:30

hsx needs to provide an option to turn the filters off for those that dont have sand in the vaj. {nm} adrenalin112 Nov 11, 09:43

twilight's presales have been stronger than jacko's. {nm} adrenalin112 Nov 11, 08:59

if we went "just by numbers", records wouldnt be broken. "numbers" dont account for what iron man & TDK did. {nm} adrenalin112 Nov 11, 09:01

im not a fan of twilight either. but ive actually dug much deeper on this than you have & done some research/polling. adrenalin112 Nov 11, 08:58

There are a group of women (25-40) in my office going to a midnight screening MiyazakiFan Nov 11, 09:20

thank you for an actual response - with numbers and logic. evwarsh Nov 11, 09:24

if you point was that the numbers could be wrong, then why did you repeatedly ask us to "show you numbers"? adrenalin112 Nov 11, 09:51

don't know why you've got to have others do your research for you - sounds like your mind is already made up. {nm} click999 Nov 11, 15:11
