You really shouldn't inhale.

Posted by: PVL Admin (a.k.a Rocket123) on Apr 15, 16:28 in response to coogan's post 40%

Seriously?!!  Last weekend was a complete flop.  This weekend has significantly more change to succeed. 

I'm not worried about the top 10, I am looking at the top 2.  Again, you are diluting the real argument by stating facts and statistics that have no bearing on the specific question.  So what if the whole market (top 10) needs to improve by 40%.  What does that prove as to whether or not RIO and SCREAM are going to open in grand style?  They are not restricted to their earning potential because the top 10 won't draw a 40% increase.

The question is, will RIO and/or Scream make the $$ people are talking about.  Your opinion is duly noted, but your position is, as yet, unsubstantiated.

Red herrings and apples/oranges.  A direct argument SVP.  :)

Scream 4 has surpased 30,000 tweets winstonman78 Apr 15, 15:31

Here is the comparison we were wanting. At least someone can get their numbers straight. winstonman78 Apr 15, 15:34

theatre in my city that is. {nm} winstonman78 Apr 15, 15:57

I would submit that the "anger and foul language" will continue on regardless of how the movies rank. HSX is split so 50% mad either way. {nm} PVL Admin Apr 15, 16:20

Hey no matter what we r all "WINNING" ;) {nm} winstonman78 Apr 15, 16:22

Single point analysis and statistics can be used to prove or disprove anything depending on how it is presented. PVL Admin Apr 15, 16:10

The market can and has risen by 100+% weekend to weekend in the past. {nm} BionicMoron Apr 15, 16:52

Rarely coogan Apr 15, 17:14

Sure, so your arguement has to do with the relative weakness of RIO/Scream 4 BionicMoron Apr 15, 17:30

Kinda like the most Tweets on Monday since HPOT7 stat. :) At some point, the actual box offfice is more representative than the tweets. {nm} Antibody Apr 15, 16:26

Agreed. Everything has its place and time. Hey, I'm even going against my own prediction charts this week. {nm} PVL Admin Apr 15, 16:31

Here is the comparison we were wanting. At least someone can get their numbers straight. winstonman78 Apr 15, 15:34

Maybe a good sign?? In 17 mins since this post its gotten about 1500 more tweets {nm} winstonman78 Apr 15, 15:48

Doesn't matter... actual box office I've seen has RIO doing twice as well as SCRM4 secretstalker Apr 15, 16:22

Scream 4 final guess 29mill {nm} coogan Apr 15, 16:25

Oh, now you've done it! Opened the coral doors. As you have noted, it's still early. I have both my gloat face and sad face at the ready. {nm} PVL Admin Apr 15, 16:35
