This weekend The Bounty Hunter seems set to be the #1 Opening Weekend movie but will fall well short of Alice in Wonderland’s 3rd weekend. Combination of Gerald Butler and Jennifer Aniston might get a decent opening weekend but I think it will fall short of expectations and not go over $20 Million dollars. Diary of a Wimpy Kid might have a chance to challenge the Bounty Hunter thanks to online ticket sales but all other indicators seem to point into the opposite direction. With little competition for young males, Repo Men might break $10 Million. On Intrade, I went short on the Bounty Hunter at $20 Million and Diary of a Wimpy Kid at $14 Million. I have a little going long on Repo Men at $10 Million but not very many takers this weekend.
| Movie | Opening Weekend Prediction |
| The Bounty Hunter | $19.14 Million |
| Diary of a Wimpy Kid | $13.26 Million |
| Repo Men | $11.67 Million |
o/3 huh?
ReplyDeleteYep, bad weekend. I needed $700K less for Bounty Hunter to have a profitable weekend. I was completely wrong about Wimpy Kid and Repo Men.
