How to Train Your Eragon

Same movie, hopefully with less Avril Lavigne. Worst. Soundtrack. Ever. But enough on Eragon, we got some good things coming for KIDS money!

Revisiting the past...we had a nice win with Diary of a Wimpy Kid. It dragged in nearly $22M over the weekend and gave us about a H$10 bump on the stock price. It was at $24M as of Wednesday, so I'm not thinking it's going to have great legs, especially (as loyal reader Qale points out) with How to Train Your Dragon coming out this weekend.

Let's talk dragons! It's got some nice theater numbers - over 4000 screens, over 2000 digital screens. This will have a pretty big impact on Alice, kicking it off of a number of 3D screens. As an aside, this is going to be interesting on movie trends.. there's only so many 3D screens, and the latest and greatest may or may not be played when it comes out. It appears to be that HTTYD is going to be large and in charge this weekend though. I can see this one easily hitting $55M, up to the mid-60s. I know it seems a lot, but it's getting warm out, kids are getting ansy, and parents will be taking them to the movies.

That's how the dragon rolls! Happy trading!
