A big-name, special-effects extravaganza seemingly suited for Christmas or July, “Wolfman” may reach its fullest potential in mid-February. Why? While long believed to be the province of chick-flicks, everyone knows that the Ultimate Date Night has to include boyfriends as well. And horror – strangely – hits both demos. After all, women found plenty to like in the “New Moon” werewolf crowd. Dudes will like the action, and they won’t mind their dates clutching their upper arms when things get tense. These elements helped last year’s seemingly misplaced “Friday the 13th” surprise with a huge $40 million opener. With its touch of romance, big names like Benicio Del Toro and Anthony Hopkins, and seemingly strong content, “Wolfman” has a chance to tap the same dynamic to score a surprise, if not record, opener. Look for $45 million as the moon goes full for Universal. <em>1/10/10</em>.<br /> </span></span> <img src="http://content.mediapredict.com/images/filler.gif" alt="" /> <span class="bodycopynowidth largetext" style="border: 0px solid #000000; padding-right: 0px;"> <strong>THE MARKET:</strong> “Wolfman” goes into wide release on <strong>Friday, Feb. 12, 2010</strong>. How much will it gross in its opening weekend as first reported by <em>Variety</em>? 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 in that weekend. Trading closes at 9 a.m. on the day of the film’s opening. <br /> <img src="http://content.mediapredict.com/images/filler.gif" alt="" /> <strong>RESEARCH: </strong> <a href=" http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=Wolfman+movie&btnG=Search+News" target="_blank">Google News</a> :: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780653/" target="_blank">IMDb Page </a> :: <a href="http://www.thewolfmanmovie.com/" target="_blank">Home Page</a> <br /></span></p>
