Re: - BET ON -- THE HUNGER GAMES -- BETTING ODDS I might bet the farm on $160m+ at this point.

I put down $110 (the maximum allowed? don't know why) on it. Pandya's "sources" almost always lowball. But if he's wrong, he owes me quite a lot of money.

 This is gonna be the craziest thing to happen to box office in years. Several months ago, many were predicting $160 million total for this movie.

Re: - BET ON -- THE HUNGER GAMES -- BETTING ODDS This one is tricky to predict.
It will be more male-friendly as it's more of an action oriented film with a romance that takes a back seat.
However, that very backseat could alienate the teen-girl fanbase as action oriented fare doesn't usually sit well with them.
I'll go with 135/320

Re: - BET ON -- THE HUNGER GAMES -- BETTING ODDS Darn. $160m is a stretch at this point. It's not OUT (since Hunger Games is a pretty crazy film to predict, who knows?) but it's not looking great.

Re: - BET ON -- THE HUNGER GAMES -- BETTING ODDS Which is possible. Considering how it's attracting all audiences and Spring Break, I think it could have a nice drop.

Re: - BET ON -- THE HUNGER GAMES -- BETTING ODDS Magnus wrote: 160m would require a REALLY strong Sunday drop. Like sub-20% drop. Or a REALLY strong Saturday hold, which would in turn naturally push business to Sunday, naturally making for a better hold. It could go: Fri - $68.25 million Sat - $52 million Sun - $40 million And just get over the mark. We have had six movies reach that Saturday mark when adjusted for inflation and eight movies make the Sunday mark adjusted, so it's not impossible...just really really freaking hard. But damn I hope it makes it.
