I'll take the under on every prediction they have for september openers

The Family: Luc Besson has never been a draw, and certainly Deniro and Pfeiffer arent anymore (take away silver linings and deniro might be the least commercial actor going today)

Insidious 2: Conjuring opened at 41M thanks to summer and rave reviews. I2 wont, it will have to more than triple I1's OW. cant see it becoming septembers biggest live action ow ever (currently sweet home alabama at 35M)

Battle of the Year: F*** Chris Brown

Rush: British, old-timey racing movie? who in the US would ever see that? no one. put this one in the waste bin with all those soccer and rugby and ron howard (frost/nixon barely got seen) movies no one watches

Prisoners: leggy maybe, ow iffy cuz the storyline looks really dark

Baggage Claim: everyone carries on their bags

Cloudy 2: looks brutal (if "theres a leek in the boat" is as good as they got, oh boy. first was good but not really all that beloved. it wont exceed the firsts ow by that much

Don Jon: JGL is not a draw (premium rush anyone?) scarjo is not a draw (nanny diaries anyone?) watching someone watch online porn ewww i hope that is not a draw

 

BO: Long Range Forecast: 'Ender's Game', 'Free Birds', & 'Last Vegas' slappydavid Sep 07, 07:35

Wow, their NSID2 prediction has been adjusted up to 41M. That's a huge jump, I think it was originally around 25? {nm} slappydavid Sep 07, 07:38

I will fill some and send to C. Brown {nm} islander: live at wrigley! Sep 07, 14:33

Agreed.. September releases looks pathetic.. cant wait for Gravity and Hunger Games {nm} karspov Sep 07, 08:28

There's a few movies I can watch, but I mostly agree with you on the box office prospects... {nm} slappydavid Sep 07, 08:43

Rush not draw? CHEMS draws. RDAWN was horrible and I think peoplew saw because of him, and perhaps nostalgia. I seriously doubt that one... tatoufan Sep 07, 08:46

Aside from Rush, I agree, looks like another line of dreadful OW's. {nm} tatoufan Sep 07, 08:48

I'd never heard of this rivalry. Friendly wager it won't open wide to $14M? :) {nm} islander: live at wrigley! Sep 07, 14:34

No kidding Islander. I don't know how a rivalry that 95% of the population has never heard of can qualify as "one of the greatest in the... Willroast Sep 07, 18:06

In my opinion, it's not so much that CHEMS is a draw, but rather the movies he's been in. He's been spot on in his choices. Willroast Sep 07, 18:16

Get ready to learn all about it. DL says, "The story is a powerful one ..." Pete Hamond talks Oscars for Rush.. tatoufan Sep 09, 01:32

Since i am not a formula one fan and didn't grow up in Europe, I hadn't either til I researched it. It' a great story, inspirational.... tatoufan Sep 07, 19:51

Absolutely, if it has the screens it will do it. {nm} tatoufan Sep 07, 19:52

Wanna spread bet the under on 50 mil gross? {nm} tatoufan Sep 07, 19:58

email sent islander {nm} tatoufan Sep 07, 20:29

Received. Will respond later :) {nm} islander Sep 08, 04:45
