I think this film is way over hyped

Posted by: awhite75 on Nov 19, 08:40 in response to Jaydubs' post I gotta think SHORT on this one... $80M Opening Weekend...

I shorted it big time a while back, but have been taking a beating as it hovers around its all time high.

[TWLI2] Ebert's conclusion: "sitting through this experience is like driving a pickup in low gear though a sullen sea of Brylcreem" {nm} Doyle Lonnegan Nov 19, 07:58

I gotta think SHORT on this one... $80M Opening Weekend $220 Delist {nm} Jaydubs Nov 19, 08:32

if it opens up $80M, no way it will delist @$220, more like $180 {nm} Oleg Max Nov 19, 08:39

I think this film is way over hyped awhite75 Nov 19, 08:40

in response to your IM ; you say it hovers around it's all time high... get ready for another beating {nm} JMT Nov 19, 08:53

here's the link, but I personally think this film is review proof, much like Transformers 2 which he also gave 1 star too Moviesnob Nov 19, 08:54

I'm with you. A lot of boarders underestimate the drawing power of Pattinson/Stewart/Lautner and the story arc in the 4 books. {nm} JMT Nov 19, 08:57

Not me. ;-) {nm} Catzan Nov 19, 16:54

I think it will get some Thanksgiving week play, so the delist may be a little higher than normal, $200-$220 max {nm} Jaydubs Nov 19, 09:07

What's the point of discussing delist target this early? The question now is adjust, and it has a chance at even 300M for that... {nm} Facto Nov 19, 14:25

Another thing to consider: Transformers 2 delisted @ 30% more than TF 1, but in a 2-year cycle. Tix prices were up 20-25% in the same time {nm} Jaydubs Nov 19, 09:20

How did you get that percentage? The average ticket price in 2007 was $6.88 and the current average is $7.45, which is an 8% increase {nm} filmjerkcom Nov 19, 11:05

Is Ebert a pre-adolescent teenage girl? {nm} thatpj Nov 19, 12:13

FilmJerk - Use your head... MPAA & NATO avgs are B.S. and skewed to appear "fair " to consumers. I paid $1.50 more this year than in '07 {nm} Jaydubs Nov 20, 06:22

my bad.... thank god I sold off my short call and shorted 50,000 of BLDSD - I'm in 3rd place for the week +129% {nm} Jaydubs Nov 23, 06:18
