Which will be most full of win and awesome (as determined by opening-weekend ticket sales)?

GottaHavePride

3/30/2007, 05:55 PM

The numbers I'm using:

300: $70,885,301 on March 9-11
TMNT: $24,255,205 on March 23-25

3-day totals.

do people really make a point to go to see movies like Blades of Glory on opening weekend?

Lots of Tarrantino fans do make it a point to go see his flicks on opening weekend however.

or at least, thats my estimation. Blades of glory gets the people that were going to the theater to just see anything. Grindhouse gets the fans...plus a few people that were going to the theater to see anything.

It's a hard call, really. The only reason I don't bet the vFarm on Grindhouse is its running time. Blades Of Glory will be able to run more screenings than Grindhouse, and when you add in the slack-jawed "Will Ferrell is the funniest man ever, and he proves it by playing the same character in every movie he appears in" fanbase...It pains me, but I may have to give the nod to BOG.

At 100:1 odds, I'd bet on Bri landing a spot on the London Philharmonic.

So:

Blades of Glory: $33,000,000

According to http://boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/ - same place I got the numbers for TMNT and 300.

And just know: anyone placing a bet on "winning movie topping TMNT opening weekend total" after this point is a vCash whore. ;)

Well, at first I assumed both movies were opening the same weekend, since I haven't really had a lot of time to pay attention to that sort of thing lately.

Anyway, there it is now. Y'all are lucky I don't go in there and change the odds to 1 to 100 or something. ;)

Note to self: blood-drenched films don't play well on Easter weekend (save for The Passion Of The Christ). (http://movies.yahoo.com/mv/news/ap/20070408/117606450000.html) ;)

Yeah. I win?:O

I figured that Grindhouse's running time coupled with the Bell curve would give Yearly Stupid Will Ferrell Comedy the win.

And that, kids, is why you always hedge your bets. ESPECIALLY when dealing with sex-and-violence laden three-plus hour epics taking on...Will Ferrell movies.
