Short PAUL, Long LMTLS and most likley a No Play for LNLAW (depending on where price goes)

Posted by: eyescovered on Mar 18, 05:08 in response to JMT's post Here we go .OW-gutchecks : Short the alien, Not playing...

PAUL - ok, let's look at some SPEGG/NFROS numbers here... HTFUZ: 5m opening; SHAUN: 3m opening; HLFAP: 1.4m opening... yes, I know, PAUL is a wider release than these. but still. I think this will be a huge short.

LNLAW - I feel like this movie was already made before. every certain number of movies, MMCCO plays a southern lawyer and has at least one scene with his shirt off. it does look like a decent flick, though. I will probably netflix it when it's released.

LMTLS - I'm still not sure what the demographic for this movie is. it's about mind-enhancing super drugs, but it's rated PG-13? ok... it does has the most star-power out of the 3 thanks to BCOOP/RDENI, it's the only non R-rated new release and there's nothing else really like it out right now so I think it'll do decent. at the least it should be a wash.

Going long on Limitless & Lincoln Lawyer, short on Paul. Don't expect to make much any of these, really. {nm} Rolling_Thunder Mar 18, 04:17

Not looking good for Paul. It had a terrible Thursday on Twitter and its buzz score was stagnant from Wed-Thursday. {nm} Rolling_Thunder Mar 18, 05:13

As I've told Horlicks, I don't think Paul is something that can be gauged using his techniques for Twitter. secretstalker Mar 18, 05:16

Paul will have a much lower ratio because of the title, but even still, its signs are weak. Scott Pilgrim had a buzz score of 16... Rolling_Thunder Mar 18, 05:31

Stalker, you be weird. {nm} lhayes37 Mar 18, 07:35

I'm still not sold on Twitter being a good predictor of movies. Especially (like SS points out) when there are common words in the title. {nm} eyescovered Mar 18, 05:23

Horlicks would be the first to tell you that tracking films with generic titles is a nightmare...'Red' was another problem one. {nm} Rolling_Thunder Mar 18, 05:34

Twitter is just so full of spam, sponsored tweets and pointless RTs that it's hard to take seriously. Just cause... eyescovered Mar 18, 06:04

Short PAUL, short LNLAW, long LMTLS. {nm} Skauge Mar 18, 05:17

At the moment it's short, short, short! {nm} Austinmh Mar 18, 05:33

I'm inclined to think Paul could pull in the stoner/college kid crowd. Any thoughts? {nm} Steved1998 Mar 18, 06:19

Isn't that their target audience? Why would you wanna see such a dumb looking movie unless you were high? eyescovered Mar 18, 06:25

Thats why I think it could be underestimated {nm} Steved1998 Mar 18, 06:43

The stoner/college kid crowd is usually out getting stoned and not at the movies. {nm} BionicMoron Mar 18, 06:58

After Reading Some Early Reviews..... Coachv Mar 18, 11:35

Short on Paul, Long on the other two, but it's a risky weekend I'm playing out of greed ahah {nm} krapnek Mar 18, 06:55

The only limit on Limitless is at the top, naked bongo guy is short, Paul to come up small. {nm} BionicMoron Mar 18, 07:02

It's quite simple gentlemen. SHORT them all. {nm} lhayes37 Mar 18, 07:23

OK, I'm in... Short short and, um...short. Yup, that's about right. {nm} Port Value League Admin Mar 18, 08:20

Went long on Paul, short on Lincoln, my cash wasn't Limitless so I didn't play the last one. {nm} Riggz13 Mar 18, 11:24
