Mr. Smith Gets A Little

I can't believe that after this weekend Will Smith's Hollywood Stock would actually go down. Really?

WSMIT is currently hovering under $179.50 -- I say it's gotta go up even just a teensy bit, to H$ 180 by the middle of the week, no? Buy people, buy!!

Money In Black

MIB and MIB 2 both did about 50M for their opening weekends, so you'd think the 100M prediction InTrade is throwing around is wildly optimistic, no?

I'm saying more 120M.

Here's Big D's logic on why MIB 3 will produce *MORE THAN DOUBLE* the numbers of MIB 2:

1) The Avengers -- think 200M opening weekend a few weeks ago -- has just warmed up the audience
2) 4000 theatres -- the previous two MIBs were around 3000 theatre releases
3) Moving to the more lucrative 4-day Memorial Day weekend slot from July 4 weekend
4) Um, MIB 2 was ten years ago and the appetite for fantasy nonsense has more than doubled..

But heck, where does that time go? Has it really be ten years? Someone musta snapflashed me with one of those memory erasing pen thingies.

Swinton Kingdom

Not sure I completely understand the Fug Girls' attraction to The Swinton -- the picture above should be captioned "Looking for the valet to park my spaceship" -- but I suspect it has more to do with Tilda's perceived membership in the *real person* club.

TSWINN on the Hollywood Stock Exchange has been headed down all year and bumping along under $H 25 for a while. Tilda's turn in Moonrise Kingdom making a token opening this week should help with a modest correction upward this weekend. I say she can at least get above that $H 25 again, no? In fact, I'm going to go buy my some Swinton right now..
