I'll try to provide news and info on every Sony opener over the next few weeks. First up is Julie & Julia [JULIE], starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams.
info is correct as of Friday 12PM ET. Final Update
Box Office Guru has a prediction of $18M for opening weekend.
According to Variety, Sony execs predict the movie will open in the high teens.
Entertainment Weekly is going with $20M. *New Link*
expected theater count: 2354 (source) (Currently, BOM is showing 2975, this is likely a typo)
reviews: 67% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes (67 reviews) *Up from 66% on Fri. AM.*
11.3% of Box Office Mojo visitors say they will see [JULIE] opening weekend.
For the Catherine Zeta-Jones film No Reservations, that number was 4.3% and the movie opened in July 2007 to a $4826 per theater average (PTA). For July 2008's Mamma Mia, starring Streep, the number was 13.4%, and film opened to $9325 PTA.
Chatter on the film's IMDB page seems decent. (personal opinion based on other film boards) *Up from "light" on Fri. AM*
According to veteran player notfabio, MTC is tracking [JULIE] at $18M OW, and RS was at almost mid-20's.
His latest update is that [JULIE] does not seem to be outperforming the MTC prediction.
Starting Monday, I will have info for District 9 [DIST9]

SONYX 10AM Gutcheck: slight short as of right now, I have it doing about 18, currently priced at 18.9 (but thats changing fast)
ReplyDeleteLooks like currently on the HSX movie board, players, plus my gut, are 8-6 in favor of short on [Julie]
ReplyDelete[julie] halted at H$51.14, meaning it needs to make $18.95M to beat its price, and I really cant see that happening.
