I knew there was some Shryke/Emma Stone loving going on.
Surprisingly enough, I thought she was Jewish.

interesting, i really though Columbiana would be the least of those. on another topic though, there is no way for them to guess just how hard the storm is going to hit the #s of saturday and sunday.

Re: SPEARE'S TIPS - The Films of 8/26/11
The Help probably won't be affected since much of its audience is in the mid-South (the only markets that need to be worried about are Atlanta and Charlotte). It isn't a New York or Boston movie. Colombiana and Don't Be Afraid of the Dark have similar Hispanic appeal (such as Miami, New York and Los Angeles in the West) which means they will be affected in the East. The West should stay the same and be their highest grossing markets.

There's no word period on Mysteries of Lisbon either. But I think it's playing around Boston only and that would really hurt it's take considering the hurricane.

Re: SPEARE'S TIPS - The Films of 8/26/11
I'll take that from Our Idiot Brother. Should finish with at least 20 million, and I'll take that for my 5 bucks.

Re: SPEARE'S TIPS - The Films of 8/26/11
I was hoping for much better, more in the $10m range giving it something like a total BO of $30m. a 4 x multiple just isn't that great.

In the August-October season, it is.

Re: SPEARE'S TIPS - The Films of 8/26/11
To each their own then. I expect at least a 6x multiple for this season, and hope that most my movies will achieve that. Our Idiot Brother has been a mis-step in that regard, at least for me.

Good luck with that, Surfer. Just remember who hasn't won a league

Re: SPEARE'S TIPS - The Films of 8/26/11
Yeah, yeah. I expect to see my name in Shryke's update next week plenty though, so maybe my luck is changing. And maybe you should begin taking tips from me [wink]...
