Movie Totals - Weekend Nov 3-5

darkghost · 10-31-2006, 08:02 PM

Borat
Over $11 mil +131
Under $11 mil -147

Flushed Away
Over $18 mil +134
Under $18 mil-150

Santa Claus 3
Over $23 mil +132
Under $23 mil-148

The over for Borat's looking good and I have a feeling it'll move up by Friday. That movie looks too damn funny.

Borat should go over. Passing on the rest.

goldengoat · 11-01-2006, 06:12 PM

i initially thought borat should go over but i don't really know how broad sasha's fan base is

i know he has a solid fan base

i think his ali g movie bombed but that was like 4 years ago and he is more well known

i still think over but not completely sold yet

Warning on Borat. It's only opening at 800 sites. That's very small compared to a typical Hollywood movie. For example, Santa Claus 3 is opening at 3450 sites. I'm not sure it'll go over anymore.

gummo · 11-02-2006, 09:50 AM

I can't see Santa Claus 3 going over.

darkghost · 11-02-2006, 07:14 PM

I can't believe they even made this movie. And it's showing in 3450 theaters

Borat's moved to $12 mil over -130. I've got alot riding on the over. I hope this hits.

I played it small. When I found out about the limited screens I backed away alittle bit.

I never use the L word but this is as good as it gets IMHO. Got 1K riding on a movie total.. LOL

I really really wanted to lay on the Borat over 12m line when it opened, but then it dropped to 11m and I got scared away. Now it's at 13m -150!!

Every single review has been fantastic, and I personally think it's going to be hillarious. The reason I layed off is because it is opening on a small number of screens, it's rated R, and I think the majority of its money is going to be made overseas and on DVD. Europeans eat up media that make fun of stupid americans, and college kids are going to buy this DVD.

I heard this morning on the radio that Borat is opening on 1100 screens. I am going to see it tonight with 2 friends. I have been a fan of the show ever since the first season and the amount of buzz this movie is getting is incredible. Judging by the amount of media its getting and the number of videos about Borat on youtube I would think the over is a good bet.

goldengoat · 11-03-2006, 05:27 PM

wow this number of screens variable is a major wildcard

will be interesting to see the results

This is fascinating, I had no idea you could wager on these. Who carries this action?

borat is estimated at $9,050,000 so far so the over looks to have a good chance

darkghost · 11-05-2006, 01:05 AM

That $9 mil estimate was for Friday alone so yeah I'd say it has a good chance.

Flushed Away & The Santa Claus 3 are both looking to head under.

nosuzieno · 11-05-2006, 04:21 AM

after gettng educated here, put small bit on SC3 under at pinny...Figured the title alone was worth a shot.

sergfro · 11-05-2006, 01:40 PM

saw borat around 11:30 pm...let me tell you there was a huge line to get in..the theatre was full all the way...even the first row no seats available

sergfro · 11-05-2006, 01:52 PM

26 million for borat and still counting ! only cost 18 million to make..so once he hits 36 million its
