BOXOFFICE: 'The Lego Movie' Sales Outpace 'The Croods' On Fandango. Reported 67% Of Today's Overall Sales. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Feb 05, 12:26

and Monsters University at the same point in the sales cycle. The % is meaningless. {nm} Antibody Feb 05, 12:28

Hmmm - 'Monsters University' had an 82.42 OW in June 2013. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Feb 05, 12:31

This isn't June unfortunately. And 67% of how many tickets? {nm} pennystocks2 Feb 05, 12:39

You are right... Apples and Oranges IMHO. Croods is a good comparable though but with the difference in theatre counts, PVL Admin Feb 05, 13:08

I think it will do very well, but I'm not seeing a 50M OW. But it's fun to be surprised if it does happen. {nm} pennystocks2 Feb 05, 13:28

this is the same fandango reference as was scrubbed below??? {nm} Lemko Feb 05, 12:37

Not tagged. {nm} Antibody Feb 05, 12:38

ah, i see...thanks for the teaching moment {nm} Lemko Feb 05, 12:41

Croods opened to near 44M. {nm} lobogotti Feb 05, 12:32

...with 4046 theatres. Lego is still estimated at 3650. {nm} PVL Admin Feb 05, 13:05

If LEGO was to open to only 44M, then it's far overpriced by the exchange as it is. {nm} Facto Feb 05, 14:06

If it were to open at 82M, then it's far underpriced. :P {nm} Antibody Feb 05, 14:15

oh yes, I know that indeed lobogotti Feb 05, 16:21

Obvious hit is obvious {nm} thatpj Feb 05, 13:03

Anymore, I don't think obvious until after the opening weekend, which is all I'm trying to guess right now. {nm} jdaniel Feb 05, 13:13

nobody knows anything, especially me, but i agree with you again. {nm} Moviesnob Feb 05, 13:31

Oh MTC--please help me! {nm} Abraxas Feb 05, 14:08

I predict red numbers for many people next monday :) {nm} Filmstardust Feb 05, 14:08

You have a 50% chance of being correct! {nm} pennystocks2 Feb 05, 14:20

I def. think we could see a $55-60m opening. Lots of good signs so far. Not overpriced on HSX, IMHO. {nm} ShawnMR Feb 05, 15:32
