SPEARE'S TIPS - The Films of 9/18, 9/20

[Walleye413]

I'm happy with a 20 million OW for a $12 price tag at this time of the year, especially since an adult-oriented drama with good reviews should be pretty leggy.

It should have good legs, except that in the next few weeks, Prisoners is going to run into a lot of other adult dramas that will split the marketplace. Next week, Rush goes wide along with Enough Said (and Don Jon to some extent), and then Gravity and Runner Runner followed by Captain Phillips.

Yeah, that's what moved me off it into some other options. I think there will be an "Argo" somewhere in this group, but my money is on it being Gravity. Guess we'll see which one breaks out!

There's one slate I filled with Haute Cuisine because I needed a $2 film, those 2 PTA points are very welcome !

[BrocksterDuex]

Chien, I did the same thing...$2 for 2 PTA, I'll take that!! Just wish the imdb score was a tad better (6.0)

[Chienfantome]

Given what's usually available for $2, this is definitely an honest investment. And the imdb score may not be solid, but it's still comfortable enough given the film, and again, price tag.

[BrocksterDuex]

How many baguettes could I buy for $2 (American dollars)?


lol

[Chienfantome]

Barely two, haha

Prisoners is holding well so far through Tuesday. I would expect about 70M when its all said and done...pretty good BO pick, kinda pissed I didnt take it in any slates.
