Well played to those who predicted this before opening day. It's such a huge number for a Bond flick, 300 million domestic and 1 billion WW. Would never have guessed that so much in advance. Congrats guys :thumbsup:

Even if it comes close to this number I would this was a great call by Excel. :thumbsup:


Excel I stand by this and so in my book this club is already a winner :thumbsup: It would be a piece of cake from here to for it to get past $300m anyways. Very good call.

Lecters "A Bond film hasn't topped 300 million adjusted sine the 60s!" gets me good. :thumbsup:

WooHoo!!! :thumbsup:

I joined Oct. 4th :thumbsup:

Now if only The Hobbit can sneak past 300M, it will be the first time ever 5 films in a year hit 300M.

It'd be better if Excel could come up with words to represent each letter in his victory acronym.

C'mon. Lets be honest. It is not as good as my
-Iron Man 300 million club - established July, 2007
-Transformers 250 million call - November 2006
-Pirates 3 - sub 300m club -winter 2006
-Narnia 2 under 200 million club - Winter 2007
-The Dark Knight over Indiana Jones - summer 2007
-American Gangster breaking out big - summer 2007

Think, for a moment, about how ballsy each of those were at their inception. Is predicting a movie with ear shattering buz , tracking for 60m+ opening weekend and getting amazing reviews, totaling 300 million THAT outlandish? Transformers, Iron Man, Narnia, and Pirates are my most impressive ones, because when called, they were WAY out there. Who, aside from myself, in their right mind saw Narnia 2 tanking like it did? Transformers was supposed to be the summers biggest bomb. Pirates 3 was a year off the mega hit that was Pirates 2. I have a few other biggies I am forgetting about too.

Yes, for every one of those, i may have a SUPERMAN RETURNS or AUSTRALIA call that didn't quite pan out. I also took some time off from every day predicting from 2008-2012 (stock market was killin it, i was busy, sorry). I don't normally create clubs unless it is predicting a HUGE break out, or HUGE disappointment. Between KJ, Box Office Theory, Filmgasm and others, I am probably the best 'home run hitter' around. Some times I whiff, and for some reason, people just dwell on the strike out instead of the 500 foot moonshot I just hit. Some play small ball and focus on hitting a bunch of singles - good. I am selective and swing for the fence.

It is like playing the stock market. If everything simply went according to plan, nobody would be any more successful than anyone else. Some always follow the every day advice, others purposely specialize in going against the grain, because they know things will never go exactly as expected. The best are able to read the market, get a feel for it. Figure out what is going to hit at the right time. Just like all the forementioned calls, this is the same deal. Bond is well known, but hasn't been 'huge' in so long that he might almost be considered fresh this around. If the film is any good and gets the right marketing, regardless of POS, it should overperform simply because at this point, the franchise is underrated, if anything. Breaking out hugely seemed obvious to me as soon as word spread that it was amazing. The market was ready. The timing was right. It would not perform like the standard Bond fare had in the past - when it turned out to be good, I knew it was going through the roof.

Get a feel for whats going on. Don't think this is some coincience. Movies are not the only subject where I make bold calls that pan out. So give ya boy some cred, this is hardly the first time I've gone totally against the grain, and nailed it. :thumbsup:

Actually have a new one in the works. Might even be up tonight.

Pirates 3 topped 300m yo.

Ive got some good ones for ya.

The Dark Knight will make 100% more than Batman Begins Club (Established May 2007 - but I had been predicting 400m+ in 2006)
The Avatar 500m+ Club (Established May 2008 - It was this low to get people to join)
The Hunger Games 400m+ Club ( Established a wk before release - still had more in the nay than the yay)
The 300 will Top Superman Returns Club (Established the wk the film was released)

I've succeeded 5 times and failed 10 times. But I think that TDK and Avatar mark the two best successes ever. :twisted:
