    Default Movie Totals - Weekend Nov 3-5

    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.

    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.

    I can't see Santa Claus 3 going over.

    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 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.

    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

    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.

    26 million for borat and still counting ! only cost 18 million to make..so once he hits 36 million its all profit from then on...he'll make way more in europe though

    wow that is a major total for such a limited amount of theaters

    apparently the theaters it made it to were the big ones

    the other theaters were probably kicking themselves if in fact they chose not to show it (i have no idea if this is the case or how it works)

    Does the good numbers on Borat mean he won't be execute?

    I tried to go see this on saturday, and it was sold out for 4 straight showings. I went there at 3pm, and the only available tickets were for the 12:30am showing.

    Crazy... Nice win DG!
