They opened at 105... got nailed on the over, raised it to 107.5 and then raised it to 110, then 112.5 and then back down to 110.

I say it goes over all of them... Spiderman would make 143 million opening weekend with this theater count and today's prices.

130 million with only todays prices.

Pinnacle Sports line has it at Spider-Man's 3-day weekend. Their betting line:

POTC 2 break SpiderMan's 3-day opening wkd record?
601 Yes (+114)
602 No (-130)

PEACE, Mike.

I'm all pumped up to write the article later tonight with a detailed analysis. Let me just say I'm in the over $130m crowd now.

You would not believe how much I put on the "Yes"

Not that I am playing anymore for now, but this is roughly what my predictions would look like:


1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - $113.6 million
2. Superman Returns - $22.1 million
3. The Devil Wears Prada - $15 million
4. Click - $10.6 million
5. Cars - $7.7 million
6. The Lake House - $3 million
7. Nacho Libre - $3 million
8. The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift - $1.7 million
9. Wasit Deep - $1.5 million
10. The Break-Up - $1.3 million

About time.

$5k

The max? Me too.

With the exception of Pirate's, this weekend sucks...Films don't seem to drop TOO heavy after 4th of July weekends, but we have this MAMMOTH blockbuster opening, so then for me it becomes a guessing game of what it hits hard, what it helps out through spillover business, and who it doesn't affect at all. Plus 3 movies all guarenteed to gross under 2 million, which always helps out a derby score...

BTW, I have Pirates at 129.9.
Everything else is irrelevant.

Pirates rises at HSX

Pirates of the Carib H$318.02 +5.67

Thats a 113.8 million weekend
