I hate that I did it, but I just flipped Jurassic World to a short.

Pay no attention to the nay-sayers, they're just refusing to believe the economic realities. This is a ballsy move. - Beryllium Jun 10, 11:11 5
- It's likely it's the long-term right move...unless this thing opens to like 150; - Will Hunting Jun 10, 11:13 4
  - Right this second it is priced for $110M opening. -- nm - Andie Jun 10, 11:15 1
    - Yeah, I can't get a gauge on it. That # is *HUGE* for a franchise that somehow withered a generation ago. - Will Hunting Jun 10, 11:19
  - it is at 299.71 now. -- nm - groiny Jun 10, 11:14 1
    - So a $110M OW, which is $15M lower than tracking -- nm - Roger More Jun 10, 11:19
I might flip eventually but the traders are going to run it up before the weekend -- nm - slipping jimmy Jun 10, 11:03
that seems ill-advised. -- nm - Andie Jun 10, 10:58 13
- I know. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 10, 10:58 12
  - You should go ahead and short Star Wars, Mission Impossible, Cap 3 and Batman vs Superman too, then. -- nm - Spawn Jun 10, 11:01 11
    - Ill probably end up shorting that last one at some point - eag Jun 10, 11:20
    - ass. What did Jurassic Park 3 open to? -- nm - groiny Jun 10, 11:03 9
      - This is *not* the Dumb and Dumber sequel. -- nm - Spawn Jun 10, 11:05
      - Irrelevant. -- nm - TWuG Jun 10, 11:04 7
        
        disagree. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 10, 11:05 6
        
        that was 14 years ago. it's an entirely different industry and much of the audience won't even remember that film. -- nm - Andie Jun 10, 11:13 5
        
        even so, it is a sequel to a movie that opened to 50 million. - groiny Jun 10, 11:16 3
        
        *14 years ago* -- nm - Andie Jun 10, 11:16 2
        
        *looks at Sin City 2* -- nm - groiny Jun 10, 11:16 1
        
        not even close to the same thing. -- nm - Andie Jun 10, 11:27
        
        This is what the new Terminator *hopes* to be, but will fail. - Spawn Jun 10, 11:14
First Event movie of the summer. - Spawn Jun 10, 10:57
Wow, it's very very well priced for a long right now imo. -- nm - Shaun Jun 10, 10:56 5
- It's also my biggest gainer, both in % and H$. -- nm - Shaun Jun 10, 10:57 4
  - PPDM -- nm - Spawn Jun 10, 10:59
  - oh, I have had it long forever. It was around 20 mil gained when I flipped it. -- nm - groiny Jun 10, 10:58 2
    - I think 125M is the floor for OW. -- nm - Shaun Jun 10, 11:01 1
      - I agreed with you 2 weeks ago. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 10, 11:02

- the couple things I have heard were not kind to it. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 10, 10:57 7
  - just the early reviews when it was almost evenly split. Now fresh is taking over. -- nm - Beaker Jun 10, 10:58
  - if ever there was a movie where reviews won't matter for opening weekend, this is that movie. -- nm - Andie Jun 10, 10:58 5
    - I know this too. - groiny Jun 10, 10:59 4
      - well, you could prove us all wrong... -- nm - Andie Jun 10, 10:59 3
        
        I will know when I see it Thursday night. I still might flip again. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 10, 11:00 2
        
        You are an odd bird. - Spawn Jun 10, 11:02 1
        
        I will know how many people are in the theater, and how the movie itself is. -- nm - groiny Jun 10, 11:03
44/15 at RT right now -- nm - Beaker Jun 10, 10:55
