Holy crap, it's just trashing records...and it's rated R!

Does that include Wed?

 

[Mike Olbinski]

Yes....just like I predicted...

$43 million on Wed-Thu, then a $110 million opening = $362 adjust in HSX...and I am holding it at $311 right now, holy crap.

And a bunch of us are going to see it again tomorrow to boost the numbers - or to actually figure out what the hell is going on.

What did you expect, a flop ?

Let's see how long it continues to blow the doors off after this weekend.

You don't like the movie, we get it, no reason to bring the rest of us down with you...

Some adjust. Wasted more in commissions than it was worth.

Yes, and I also maxed on Down with Love, not looking at theatre count or anything...lousy opening for such a good movie.

I knew I shouldn't have shorted 50,000 shares of it!

 

[jf-08]

Actually, I don't have any shares of it. But made out pretty good on the call.

 

[jf-08]

Geesh Mike, not only are you on my tail in HSX, but also in post counts!

 

[Brian in Mesa]

I shorted the Matrix Reloaded at $312.47 last week. Now I just hope it drops some today.

Still won't make much, but won't lose too much either.

But I also had Down With Love held long...ugh.

Yeah, I just missed the theater counts...but it was a good movie, we saw it on Saturday, and the theater was packed...I figured a romantic comedy would do well despite the Matrix being out.

Oh well...

I knew it. I called it!

You mentioned that you and the wife were going to a movie in the WEEKEND thread and I called it, Down With Love.

Thanks for not letting me down, Chickflickski.

Made nearly 1 million on the Matrix buy. I've already sold and shorted. Just waiting to cash in on it both ways.

Yeah, God forbid I do something FOR my wife...you know, a sacrifice? A compromise? It's what you do in a marriage to make things work BIM...

(kidding, I wanted to see it too )
