It won't... probably 120-130 -- nm - secretslacker Mar 8, 07:10 18
- I'll take the under on the 120 easily. - Will Hunting Mar 8, 07:15 17
  - you realize that you're calculating an under 2.2 delist mult, right? - secretslacker Mar 8, 07:56 4
    - Yes, I know exactly what I'm predicting. Normal weekend IM rules don't apply when the IM is this low. - Will Hunting Mar 8, 07:59 3
      - Well,if you want to make it interesting... name your stakes :) -- nm - secretslacker Mar 8, 08:01 2
        
        It's interesting enough with my name on multiple posts at sub-120. - Will Hunting Mar 8, 08:04 1
        
        For the record, a 2.0 final multiplier wouldn't surprise me. I've been thinking between Cloverfield and The Hulk for a while now. -- nm - David Mar 8, 09:42
  - Man, and D. Mac is giving *me* shit for being down on this movie.. 2.2 mult is expected with that high a percentage of midnights. -- nm - secretslacker Mar 8, 07:52 1
    - D.Mac was giving you grief because you were down on the flick months out and then all of sudden decided that 70m+ was a good idea afterall. Too bad - Catzan Mar 8, 09:12
  - And in looking at this, i'm just now realizing how horrendous Friday the 13th's overall performance is. - Will Hunting Mar 8, 07:22 9
    - Of course, when you make back your entire production budget on the first Friday, horrible legs are less of an issue. -- nm - Dano Mar 8, 09:01 4
      - Like The Happening, they'd still be a lot happier if they'd had a good movie to sell, though. -- nm - David Mar 8, 09:41 3
        
        Of course, I'm sure they'd rather have a $100M+ grosser from that start, but they sold what they had and must have made at least 3X production budget. - Dano Mar 8, 10:07 2
        
        You're doing a ventriloquist act with my MMQB comments about it, but they still left a lot of money on the table by making a bad film. -- nm - David Mar 8, 10:13
        
        I'm not saying it's a failure for it's cost/revenue; just how it got there is epic bad. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 8, 10:11
    - what do we think the reason is?? me personally - I think word of mouth may have killed it - Epiphany Mar 8, 07:40 3
      - There just wasn't a huge interest outside the core audience IMO. -- nm - Cuzin Todd Mar 8, 07:47
      - Horror's already frontloaded, it's arguably the biggest horror franchise in history spanning 3 decades - Will Hunting Mar 8, 07:44
      - It was the very definition of a one-day wonder. -- nm - Callisto Mar 8, 07:42
