Its getting good word of mouth so maybe they are hoping for a bigger 2nd weekend. Or it could be people covering their shorts. I got out of it. Just wish I had put more in.

gcribbs 10-15-04 04:28 AM

So what is everyone doing for this weeks openers?

I am passing once again :)

My thoughts if I was playing them.

I think TEAMA is a small short right now. I think it could hit $20 million or adjust to $56,

I think SWDNC is a long right now. I actually think it can hit $10 this weekend or adjust to $28.

devilshalo 10-15-04 08:57 AM

I'm going long on TEAMA (of course, I bought in at $47). But I think it'll pull in $30M. Creators of South Park and puppet sex, how can that not be a huge hit?

CharlesC 10-15-04 10:08 AM

I put everything I had left on a short on TEAMA.

Either I'll make a bunch this weekend and be back in the game or I'll reset. Either way my net worth will be about the same after this weekend. ;)

From the early theater reports it looks like it could be a short. You might have this pay well :)

Looks real short to me.

Jackskeleton 10-16-04 05:59 PM

Well aint that a stinker.

Oh well. it's going to be one bad bad weekend.

Mano 10-17-04 12:13 PM

Wow, only 12 million for Team America. What a disappointing weekend this has been. I stand to lose 1.2 million in HSX just from that, at least I went long on Shall We Dance which will cut my losses to only 600,000 or so. Damn man :(.

Trigger 10-17-04 07:07 PM

Haven't checked in several months - doing surprisingly well.

B.A. 10-17-04 07:30 PM

Glad that I only touched the options on Team America and Shall We Dance and stayed away from the stocks.

Jackskeleton 10-17-04 07:37 PM

Ha ha ha, oh man, What an ass raping weekend. down 1.4 million.

fuck'n awsome.

CharlesC 10-18-04 11:13 AM

All right. I'm back in it now baby! Up 500k.

Congrats!!

what are you going to do for next weeks openers?

CharlesC 10-19-04 10:20 AM

I have no idea. I need to watch some trailers and read some reviews.

gcribbs 10-22-04 01:32 AM

Short on GRUDG. I think it will hit 15-17 million.
Long on SURVC 9-10 million.

This is why I do not play openers. I got both wrong had I played them and would have lost $3 million or so.

I hope people went long on GRUDG. I wish I had :)

TomOpus 10-24-04 01:21 PM

I usually don't play openers but this time I went long on GRUDG. But it was purely by accident because I have longed it on Thur when it was moving up and I still can't get used to them halting trading at 1pm for openers :)

I'll be the first to say I'm surprised how well it did but I'll take it :)

Jackskeleton 10-24-04 04:28 PM

Oh man, that long was so worth it. Halloween season + scary films = instant success. no one wants to see christmas till atleast thanksgiiving.

You coulda told me that before! :(

devilshalo 10-29-04 11:53 AM

Do I or don't I? I have 5 minutes to decide it Ray is going to make more than $16M.

Considering Ali only opened up to $14. I thiink I'll pass.

Bought them all. A good investment for a bit. Then they will start bouncing up and down.

Is anyone playing NCRDB?

I think it will not adjust up or down much although I do think it will be a great long for the 4 weeks since it should have great WOM.

:wave:

Also CARS had enjoyed a nice bump.

In Pixar We Trust :)

Mano 11-06-04 03:06 AM

I too bought all the holiday warrants. They should make me a pretty penny in the short term.

I am most certainly playing The Incredible's long for this weekend. I just don't see how it can fail.
