You've been too Gung-Ho before. As have I. My folly was TERM4. Just couldn't believe it wouldn't crush TERM3 by a sizeable margin.

And that's even though I've always really hated the Charlie's Angels movies and couldn't understand why people (especially women, it seemed) liked them so much..

Part of this game is learning not to trust your gut instinct when it's all about just that: your gut

AVATR should win the 1/8 weekend, but will it beat out BOELI on 1/15? {nm} lobogotti Jan 03, 08:36

I'm going to say "no"... Denzel will beat it. {nm} secretstalker Jan 03, 08:39

i will say yes, and be #1 until valentines day (the movie) {nm} islander Jan 03, 08:42

BOELI will open in Denzel's usual $20-25 Mil range, it will not beat Avatar. jlinn Jan 03, 09:25

Higher on BOELI. {nm} adrenalin112 Jan 03, 10:00

i like to make sure my opinions are clear as day, w/o breaking gut check rules. rather be wrong than sound like im playing both sides. {nm} adrenalin112 Jan 03, 23:13

Depends if people want to see another post-apocalyptic America, pretty much a yawn for me. And he has a book that can save everybody. Don't Vashta Nerada Jan 03, 10:37

taken had even less originality. boeli should do just fine. people will go to see denzel kickarse. {nm} adrenalin112 Jan 03, 10:54

even though i played TAKEN correct I am still stumped as to how that movie made the money it did. {nm} lobogotti Jan 03, 10:59

Really? I thought Taken is a really great action film. {nm} Wolfythunder Jan 04, 10:52

BOP published some interesting January BO analysis FYI (http://www.boxofficeprophets.com/column/index.cfm?columnID=12393) {nm} 15-May-2007 Jan 03, 08:49

That wasn't a new phenomenon for 2009 by any means... Big Momma's House 2, Cloverfield, 27 Dresses, etc. {nm} secretstalker Jan 03, 08:53

True, there may have been more than normal, but there have been lots of January hits over the past 6 years secretstalker Jan 03, 08:54

The most interesting stat IMO is located on page 4 of the article ... 15-May-2007 Jan 03, 09:04

I'm not reading four pages of David's ramblings, thank you... that story could have been told in 500 words or less. {nm} secretstalker Jan 03, 09:11

well that's not a very nice thing to say, Eddie. Jealous much? {nm} mickeyd5 Jan 03, 11:32

Yeah, that's gotta be it, mud. Thanks for playing. {nm} secretstalker Jan 03, 12:02
