Sex and the City - 3146 (469), +151 (+31), B
The Strangers - 312 (37), +15 (+1), B

The written percentage remains reasonable, not indicating a ratio much higher than 200, if at all.

I know she has a sketchy reputation around here but Nikki Finke is saying "As of today alone, it's earned over $20M -- although that does include some presales."

Just like FM, and both will be way off. The day isn't even over.


They probably meant, "as of the time our source called us, this is how much it's made" with plenty left to rake in.

Which means if it even hits 7500 it would mean about $37 million OD.

Impossible.

Nothing is impossible. I think it can flirt with those high $30s for Friday, which would be enough to catapult it past $80m.

Yeah I took it as a floor not a ceiling. I figured it was good news for your outlook on things.

Well, the thing is it's not going to hit 7500 with the latest pace. It doesn't mean it's not doing as great, but rather people are not so rushed to review it or give it fake reviews, as shown by the relatively low written percentage, thus a lower ratio.

So, how is it doing in yahoo so far?

I'd say we're looking at about $25M right now, assuming a ratio of 125. Still plenty of time for hit to hit a $30M day. The Strangers is looking a little soft, as I wouldn't expect a ratio lower than 100.

Sex and the City - 3824 (630), +678 (+161), B
The Strangers - 413 (73), +101 (36), B

S&TC slowed a bit, are we still sure about a 200 ratio?

I don't know about ratio mumbojumbos, but here's what I see for the new releases based on sellouts, crowd reports, intuition, etc. right now:

Sex and the City: 23
The Strangers: between 6 and 7

Xiayun, how's The Strangers doing? After all, Sex & the City wasn't the only movie to open

I really can't see The Strangers pulling in any more than $4M tonight - perhaps less.

It has way too many sellouts to do less than $4M, imo.

Three different theaters around here only had it on one screen but added interlocks for the 10 and midnight shows because they sold out.

That's what I was thinking going into the weekend. I just didn't see any buzz or hype for it. I asked some people at work and they didn't even know what it was. The guy who hated Indy and liked Made of Honor had it confused with Funny Games.

If that's the case, we'd be looking at a very low ratio for the film.

Right now I see a 150 ratio and $28m for SATC, and $5m for The Strangers.

A 5m opening day for The Strangers would lead to about 11M-13M for the weekend considering it's a horror movie and they always have bad multipliers opening weekend.

Still, definitely a success for Rogue Pictures, as such a weekend would be their highest opening in company history, no matter how pathetic that may seem.

Right now, their highest OW is Unleashed at $10,900,901.

4148 looks like the final number.

I'm thinking that a 150 ratio or even slightly lower should be perfect.

$27-30 mil sounds right on.

Fantasy Moguls has SATC at 28.5 mil opening day, so it looks like you were right.

Yahoo has been gangbusters lately!

It had right about a 158 ratio.

2100 reviews for today.
