Poseidon pulls in $6.0-7.5 million on Friday!
3:44am ET May 13, 2006
Using Box Office reports, crowd reports, and Yahoo! user reviews, The World of KJ estimates that Poseidon has cruised to a $6.0 - 7.5 million gross on it's opening Friday.
Michael Xia, a columnist at WoKJ, said the following regarding the Yahoo! reviews for Poseidon, "Poseidon's Yahoo pace has been quite slow the whole day, but it managed to get close to 800 reviews with some help from being on front page after midnight ET. The change increases my ratio projection to 100-125, which puts its Friday gross at $6.0-7.5m. It had 191 for the final four updates, and the number maps to the same range if we use a normal 4-hour ratio of 30 for front-page movies."
It might sound complicated, and it is, but regardless it is very accurate. WoKJ's users have been using Yahoo! reviews to track openers for years. While the system is not full proof, it generally produces a very accurate estimate as shown by our track record.
WoKJ's estimate of $6.0 to 7.5 million will mean that we have to wait yet another week for the first big hit of the summer.
