The over and under on this movie is 16.5 million. Pinnacle has the Over at -158 and the Under at +142. I haven't read any of the trade publications about this movie but my initial feeling is telling me to take the under; the fact that you can get positive odds makes me like the under even more. I mean when was the last time a Meryl Streep movie did more than 16.5 million in the opening weekend?

This is a true chick flick that they have really been advertising. Remember, you still have Cars, Click and Superman to contend with so maybe the under is the play here.

Oops... I already went the opposite way on this one. I took the over at -150. It's just such a low number. I project at least a $20 million opening.

Like Ill said, it is a chick flick but I've seen enough ads to think there's heavy marketing behind it & high reviews don't hurt its chances. It's currently rated at 84% vs 76% for Superman at RottenTomatoes.

This is amazing. Pinny now has the over at +144 and the under at -160. I'm still liking the under. I think this movie will do between 14 & 15 million. I wish I would have hit the under harder when Pinny was giving good odds. Oh well...he who hesitates is lost.

Talk about crazy. The line's now back at -108 both ways.

Im not sure if these are the end of weekend numbers, but here is what I came up with:

1) Superman Returns      $52,150,000
2) The Devil Wears Prada $27,000,000
3) Click                 $19,400,000
4) Cars                  $14,035,000
5) Nacho Libre            $6,186,000

You bet on this bro?

I had a very small bet on the under which looks like got crushed. I am very surprised this movie took in almost double the projected number.

looker, do you happen to know if the Superman numbers count from the opening or are those just the weekend numbers.

[onlooker]

That was a list of weekend gross. Thats what it said anyway.

[onlooker]

Here is the total gross numbers for those same five movies:

1) Superman Returns      $84,208,000
2) The Devil Wears Prada $27,000,000
3) Click                 $77,918,000
4) Cars                  $182,056,000
5) Nacho Libre           $64,959,000

Thanks looker. I knew Superman had to do better than $52mil.

[Tchocky]

I'm shocked by this result as well. I don't anyone that was projecting that high a number. I think this movie opened in over 2,800 theatres...that's huge.
