Results are finalized. This can resolves YES now

predicted YES

@PC If it doesn’t I’m never betting on a Barbie market again

predicted YES

Preliminary earnings are $366.4M vs $181.4M, so ~2.019x.

Barbie has legs!

predicted YES

@stevez gg Barbie. Quite annoyed that Barbie beat projections by so much

predicted YES

@PC f'real, I am not going to put nearly as much stock in studio forecasts after this. I get why they were bearish, I was too, but I still expected more accuracy from the pros.

predicted NO

@Jonagold Studio forecasts have never been incentivized to be maximally accurate. There are better sources available.

predicted YES

@chilli Are those sources free?

predicted YES

@chilli any of them have Barbie this high? I modelled comparables and couldn't find anything

predicted NO

@PC No this is still higher than expectations. But it was clear that it was going to far out gross the 70 million the trades were predicting if you search google, which is why I bet so heavily on the “will it be a historic weekend” markets.

predicted YES

@chilli well I knew that Barbie would 2x Oppenheimer on the weekdays, but NO just needed Oppenheimer to hit $50M for the weekend, which was right in the middle of the projection

Maybe other people knew something I didn't, but I thought this market was overpriced.

@SirCryptomind Welcome back my prophetizing friend.

predicted YES

How has this not resolved yet? Are we waiting till the end of July because @SirCryptomind has posted several days of 2x Gross amount.

predicted YES

@dagnazty My guess is that it will resolve with the numbers at the end of the month. Oppenheimer could potentially catch up and the number could dip back below 2x

bought Ṁ25 of NO

@MaggieDelano
Edit: There was a serious error in my analysis I posted previously (copy pasta missed zeros of the numbers in the original formula). Here is an updated analysis of why I am betting YES: https://github.com/JRPdata/wastebook/raw/main/2023-07-31-will-barbie-gross-2x-oppenheimer-do.docx

Deadline has the next weekend projection as 72 to 35. No the numbers for Tuesday-Thursday.

Here is the math with numbers through the past Monday and the next weekend projection:

(188,122,044 + 72,000,000) / (95,127,370 + 35,000,000) = 1.99898026065
🤣 I'm selling all my NO shares until getting more data.
