Another week without new KIDS openers. -sigh-

We're proud to say we got all the flicks we could play this weekend right. That's because for the second week in a row, we didn't have any stocks we could play for adjust. So sad, lots of silverfish.



Things are about to change though. As next week we'll have two, count em, two movies opening that we're holding. We'll get to the analysis of that in a bit. First, we have some unfinished business with a certain Highmore to take care of.

SPDWC - The Spiderwick Chronicles is moving into its fourth and final week as far as HSX is concerned. At present time of post, it's priced at H$58.48. It's actual box office through the weekend is estimated at $55.08 million dollars. During the week last week it was pulling in roughly a half milly every day. I think that trend can continue, maybe just a hint weaker. So let's give it 1.7 million dollars for it's final Mon-Thur period. That'll put us at nearly 57 million.

This past weekend it made 8.7 million a drop off from the week before of 33%. With some good competition from our two new KIDS releases, this weekend it could be knocked back to making about 4 million. That means our delist estimate for this movie is around 61 dollars a share.

10KBC - 10,000 BC is opening this Friday, March 7th. It has a PG-13 rating for violence and action sequences. KIDS believes this film, which features every young boy's favorite things -- Dinosaurs!! Rawr!! -- to perform very well. Dominating the weekend and stomping on everything in its path like a woolly mammoth.

Expectations are high, and while there is some concern about the film having no notable stars, the special effects are the star here just as they were in The Day After Tomorrow. (Sorry Jake.) Currently priced at H$96.87, we're thinking it will bring in 36 million and hoping for an even bigger catch.

CLGRT - College Road Trip is also opening this Friday, March 7th. It has a very accessible G rating and features Raven Simone, another one of Disney's huge success stories. Martin Lawrence is there too, fresh off a 16 million opening for Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins. This is a much more wholesome affair, despite the college theme. Are We There Yet feels similar and posted similar opening numbers, 18.5 million in a January of 05.

Currently priced at H$45.67 it needs 16 million to break even. This is right in line with what I was talking about in the last paragraph, so this stock will bear lots of watching since we expect around 17 million for the opening of this probably mind-numbing Disney flick.

Tune in tomorrow for the long-awaited 4th episode of the KIDS Fundcast. And later in the week, there will be the number of screens report as well as last minute thoughts.
