Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted July 20, 2013 Founder / Operator Share Posted July 20, 2013 why? Because if I can't be 99% sure about how any part of a 20,000+ point question is going to go at this point in the weekend, it's not worth the risk. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted July 20, 2013 Founder / Operator Share Posted July 20, 2013 Also goes to show how much to trust your gut: I'd been predicting Jonah Hex #s for RIPD for a long time but decided to hedge my bets on SOTM10 in case I was low-balling it too much.

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted July 20, 2013 Founder / Operator Share Posted July 20, 2013 I don't think RIPD will cross 30M Me either. I'd be shocked if I'm within 10% on it ($34m was my high-ball entry). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Me either. I'd be shocked if I'm within 10% on it ($34m was my high-ball entry). Do you think Conjuring will pass 100M? If it opens around 40M, 2.5x multiplier needed. Normal for Horrors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal for Horrors? I do. It's not a common multi for horrors, but WOM on this one in particular seems great among the general audience.

Dementeleus Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 It can pass 100m on Septmenber 3rd When Baumer's Summer Game is in ruins, it has my permission to pass 100m. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted July 20, 2013 Founder / Operator Share Posted July 20, 2013 I've been using 1999's The Haunting as my comparison point for TC for awhile. Even the openings will end up very similar in ticket sales it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
