Believe me when I say I have no interest in this romantic vampire crap. Trust me, I could live to be 100 and will still NEVER want to see it

I know Harry Potter, I served with Harry Potter, and this ain't no Harry Potter. Harry Potter was a raging success with both girls AND boys from the get-go. Twilight has not proven to be that huge a draw for males. Most certainly not in an even-handed Harry Potter kind of way. So again, Twlight ain't my bag baby! But the thing I've had to learn (and remember) here at HSX is that there is no accounting for taste when it comes to our movie going choices. Despite the fact that I don't want to see 2012 or Twlight, rest assured there are millions of humans on earth that do. And my only reason for posting anything here is to get information and opinions so that I place my bet on the winning side each and every Friday.

NF: final theater count for [TWLI2]: 4,024. 'Hollywood is expecting New Moon to do Iron Man numbers, or $100M" Antibody Nov 18, 15:04

Do we know if PRCUS is getting 650? {nm} grammar Nov 18, 15:15

If the updated list on the site is correct (it should be, as they just added some locations), then it'll be at 603 by my count. {nm} dsbman Nov 18, 18:11

Humm. At the current price (and with the crowded market) it still sounds like a short to me. At best a wash. Thoughts? {nm} HuskyMiller Nov 18, 15:49

I'm thinking we are underestimating how many guys will be seeing it... Some will go with girlfriends, some will go with groups of friends, Facto Nov 18, 16:47

Pretty boys, angst ridden girls, & vampires: Twilight is the epitome of a chick flick. I invision Dads & gay guys only. HuskyMiller Nov 18, 17:29

I agree that it is a perfect girls night out flick but... TheSureThing Nov 18, 17:44

85 million copies sold - keep that in mind, A fraction of that before the 1st film. The fanbase has expanded in a massive way. {nm} tbonearelli Nov 18, 18:36

Book vs movie = apples vs oranges. I loved the Harry Potter books but only saw the first movie. No more. To me, the books are waaay better. HuskyMiller Nov 18, 20:20

Repeat viewings from females will balance out how the demo skewers female... Btw, I've never seen a single Harry Potter-movie, nor read any Facto Nov 18, 20:30

TheSureThing, is that really you... Where you've been at, bro? {nm} Facto Nov 18, 18:38

Been around but not much, mainly play the blockbuster seasons. Who are you?? {nm} TheSureThing Nov 19, 21:53

Why, I'm old Factotum, of course.. :-) Facto, for short... ;-) {nm} Facto Nov 22, 05:45

+1.... it's amazing how many guys act like they are not interested. This movie is harry potter for teenagers & adults. 105mil easy {nm} tbonearelli Nov 18, 18:34

Given the bottom is around 90m while the ceiling could $120m, i don't see value of shorting {nm} xiayun Nov 18, 18:52

Agreed. Looking only at opening weekend, this has long written all over it.... Somerset Nov 18, 20:22

Naturally this assumes the tracking is correct. Which I would be more inclined to believe (on the high side) if this were a Summer release. HuskyMiller Nov 18, 20:32

True...but one of the points I was making was that the tracking could be wrong by 15-20% and it still HSX adjust long.. Somerset Nov 18, 20:43

She's enthusiastic about BLNSD (low 20s) and PLT51 (high teens/low 20s). {nm} second gary Nov 18, 15:59
