Oh, Hi Best Bet!
In 2004, The Room was overlooked for Razzie honours. Twenty years later, Tommy Wiseau’s Big Shark will not be denied.
This is an early but confident play that all involved in the follow up to the Citizen Kane of bad filmmaking will make its mark on the bad honour board.
44th Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Picture - Big Shark
Voters in the Golden Raspberry Awards historically taken two paths in recognition of bad cinema.
First, taking down major titles that puncture the mainstream. Think big budget failures or critical mishaps that deserve a smackdown: Fantastic Four, The Emoji Movie, Cats, Diana the Musical and Blonde.
Second, Golden Raspberry Awards voters have recognised political hidden gems including Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party and Absolute Proof
Tommy Wiseau’s second feature film is neither big budget nor a political storyline. The shark eating horror thriller is an outlier, and occupies its own special place. Regardless, the cult legacy that The Room has accumulated over the years points to the strong probability that the Golden Raspberry club will relish the opportunity to bestow it with the Worst Picture Award .
Rated at least a 40% probability to win, the current market favourite at $3.50 implies a 29% winning chance. This tips a 40% market edge favour and represents a medium conviction bet.
