The Box Office Thread

Box Office Mojo's box office derby has average estimate for Zombieland at 16.9M.

I want to go long on this one. Have bids up at 18M and 20M.

I am short on COUPLES.RETREAT. Anyone interested???

I am. Put up some decent asks and I'll have a look. 70 ASK on the $27.5m contract for a movie with a projection right around there is a little high.

I'm looking to get some action on WILD THINGS and PARANORMAL ACTIVITY this weekend. PM me and we'll see if we have opposing views.

I've got some extremely reasonable bids out on Wild Things given what the industry predictions are. Take a look.

Couple early asks up for This Is It. See if you like.

2.2M opening night for This Is It. Any ideas what this means for opening weekend?

Looks like the market is saying under $32.5m. Sounds right....check out previous 10/31 box office takes...no one goes to the movies on Halloween.

New asks up at 25-30M levels. Anybody looking to go long?

This may be the most overhyped movie on the decade. $7m Wednesday is absolutely pathetic. This could easily miss $20m for the weekend.

Whoever shorted those 50-share blocks on Wednesday is a geniusssss. Come forth so that we might bow before you.

just wish i had the balls to sell the 50 block at 40M mark for 25% as well...

apparently not much of a genius as I just donked off 2/3 of my profit on the 22.5M contract to someone who had the final numbers earlier than usual... I hope those numbers are wrong, but doubt it.

Anyone interested in 2012? I don't know where it's going to end up, but I'm looking forward to a weekend with hopefully some real volume for once. Just looking for opinions on this one for now.

Initial tracking is not looking great, I'm seeing 48M for the weekend by one source. But I don't know what to believe.

I'll LONG any 2012 contract if the price is right.
