How much will it gross in its opening weekend as first reported by <i>Variety</i> on February 1? Each dollar of the share price represents millions of dollars in sales. Shares bought at $45, for example, would be worth $78 if the movie grosses $78 million. Trading closes on January 30 at 9 a.m. ET. <br> <b>THE DATA:</b> “The Uninvited” competes with January releases “Posession” and “The Unborn” in pursuing a genre opener on the order of “The Ring” ($15m) or “The Eye” ($12.8m).<br> <b>OUR REPORT:</b> “The Uninvited” comes in a January already crowded horror releases. But Dreamworks’ contribution to the genre will try to carry a little more heft than its predecessors, boasting stars Elizabeth Banks and David Strathairn, as well as producers from “The Ring” and “Eagle Eye.” Of course, familiar elements will be there – most notably spooky dead kids coming back from the grave to right some past wrong. Elizabeth Banks plays the tramp (and possibly killer) who seduces the father of two smokin’ hot sisters. We see nothing original to hook audiences, but we do see a healthy marketing budget. As with the others, we see low teens at best. <i>1/5/09</i>.<br><br> <b>LEARN MORE: </b><br> See the trailer at the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.uninvitedmovie.com/"> “Uninvited”</a> home page.<br> 1050 54805 "The Uninvited" Debut 1050 1500 2009-02-01T17:09:21-08:00 1000 UNINV
