For Super Bowl Sunday, a weekend that will no doubt hurt male movies the most, Dear John looks like the first real movie that has a chance to take the #1 Weekend spot from Avatar. With the Super Bowl on Sunday, I think Avatar will win Saturday but lose Sunday. Friday should go easily to Dear John so if it doesn’t my predictions and bets will be in trouble.
From Paris with Love looks like it is going to bomb and not do very well at all. Unfortunate, because I thought the director of Taken could have had another sleeper hit on his hands. This weekend I went long on Dear John at the $20 Million and $22 Million price point. I bet a little more than I usually do but that is because I felt I got better odds than I should have. No bets on Intertops since I didn't like those odds as much.
| Movie | Opening Weekend Prediction |
| Dear John | $25.94 Million |
| From Paris with Love | $11.61 Million |
Another monster snow storm in NC VA MD PA NJ. Could affect totals.
ReplyDeleteintertops had pretty bad odds this week. moreso simply because it's difficult to say exactly where dear john will land. generally their odds are quite bad, but there can be 1 good bet in the bunch.
