Can We Get It?

There comes a time where you have to wonder... are you capable of picking correctly on these movies? First Transformers, then some other stuff that I won't talk about. Can we make money ("money")?

Why yes indeedy, we got one right! SHORTS did predictably bad and resulted in a nice profit for KIDS. It has a miserable $6.6M opening and did little after that. We are still holding it short, and although it's risen slightly, it's worth keeping that way.

On to newness: 9. No, not that "District 9" nonsense. I saw the original short for 9 several years ago and have been excited since I heard the movie was coming out. The voice acting doesn't thrill me - in the original, they didn't speak (IIRC), so I'm not sure what that will do to the feel, but it's definitely still very pretty. A lot of fans have popped up since the trailer came out. It has all the workings to be a massive success, but let's face facts. It has a theater count of around 1600. It is an odd looking concept that will probably not appeal to many past the internet geeks that have been drooling over it. The price on HSX has soared to as high as H$52, which would represent something like a $15M weekend, and $9M Wednesday and Thursday. I'm still excited about the movie, but I'd put it's box office at around $3M Wdnesday, $2.5M Thursday, and $11M over the weekend with an adjust of H$35. It's currently hovering around H$40 and will probably close there. I would also assume this will be a pretty safe post adjust short.

That's all for now!! We've got one of several fall kids movies coming in the form of strange weather very soon.
