are you referring to overseas grosses? in the past I was pretty sure you said not to rely on those. {nm} Oleg Max May 17, 12:13

Australia and the U.K. are similar to the US since the old English-speaking markets, not new markets like China still adding theaters. {nm} Antibody May 17, 12:16

Hate to pull a Nikki guys, but TOLDJA! TREK2 fell far short of even my own estimates. I said low to mid 20s 1st day. eallensbp May 17, 12:20

How could you use TOLDJA when you made a wrong prediction? {nm} Antibody May 17, 12:26

Generally speaking, with my 20s predict I basically said TREK2 would underwhelm as most fellow traders here expected 30M+ at least. eallensbp May 17, 13:30

*sigh* noone is NOT going to see a movie over the ENTIRE weekend because of a lottery drawing. NOLEAFCLOVR May 17, 12:51

To spend $15 on lottery tickets and be disappointed in seconds, or spend $15 on a movie and be disappointed over 2 hours. skamanfu May 17, 13:13

LOL, people who can't afford both a lottery ticket and a movie ticket probably wouldn't spend the $15 on the movie in the first place. {nm} elchan May 17, 13:18

I hope you're taking notes on all this, Razorhawk {nm} RogerMore May 17, 15:08
