Crouching KIDS Fund, Hidden Profits, Dual Posts

For a real treat this week, both Colin and Qale are posting their fund managing thoughts. You'll get a look at how we both think, plus more information than your head can possibly hold - better get a tarp, or you'll get brain on the wall!

First up is Qale:

Hello KIDS Fund shareholders and otherwise curious kiddies, Qale here with a long awaited post about information and numbers.

Yeah, no cake eating. No kung-fu antics. Just cold hard facts. So stop crying, it's only a little boo-boo, and here we go!

This weekend Jet Chan and Jackie Li get together for a Far East fragfest called The Forbidden Kingdom. I'm sure there will be prophecy, pratfalls, and a pretty dumb white guy in between the two legends of modern day kung-fu cinema.

While I'm more partial to Jet, the kiddies like Jackie better. After all, he had his own cartoon at one time. We feel that the film can give the smackdown on the raunchy Apatow flick this weekend and land around 22 million.

Currently in Post Adjust range, Nim's Island currently has around 28 million in the bank. After being out for two weekends (last weekend making 9 million) we expect another 6 from Little Miss Sunshine this time around. Give it about 2 million for the third week and 4 million for the last weekend and it could delist at around 40 million.

Finally today, an indie kid flick? Yeah, you bet. Son of Rambow is playing at the Atlanta Film Festival tonight and Colin and I will be there on the scene! Hopefully we will get some good footage to use for our next Fundcast episode. Or we'll be told to leave. Seriously though, how can they say no to cameras at a film festival. Probably like this, "Noooooooooo!" Take care, kiddos.

And now from the illustrious Colin:

It's incredibly slow right now, but we push through it all to bring you top quality KIDS Fund predictions and news!

New movie first - The Forbidden Kingdom, currently priced at H$55.28, is the new action packed martial arts flick starring BOTH Jackie Chan AND Jet Li. Seriously, how long have we been waiting for this to happen? I can't see this movie making any less than $22 million opening weekend, perhaps more.

Old movie next - Nim's Island, currently priced at H$37.49, enters its third weekend of mediocrity taking in just under a half million each day this week. As of Wednesday, total BO was at $26.7 million. With only a 214 screen drop from last weekend, I see a $400k Thursday, $1.8 million Friday, $3.1 Saturday, and a $2.2 Sunday bringing the Monday morning total to $34.2 million. Considering the complete lack of children's movies (5 weeks in, and Horton is still pulling over $300k a day, with decent weekends), Nim's should easily make the current price, but I wouldn't count on much more profit beyond that.

Happy trading, and look to the future for the woefully underpriced Speed Racer, opening May 9th. Also keep those peepers peeled for Son of Rambow, opening limited May 2nd. We'll be bringing you screening coverage on this movie from the Atlanta Film Festival very soon.

Thats all from the KIDS Fund managers this week!! Get out there and make some (fake) money!
