Top Grossers: June 30, 2017

Rules: Guess the Friday through Sunday domestic gross (as reported in the actuals from Box Office Mojo) for the number one movie for the weekend of June 30 - July 2. You get points based on the difference between your guess and the actual opening (whether its higher or lower). You don't have to guess a particular movie, just a dollar amount. Once you've made a guess, you can't change it. Guesses have to be submitted by midnight the Wednesday before the opening. Guesses must be rounded to the nearest million dollars. Results will be cumulative week to week for everyone that continues to play. If you miss a week, you can still play, but you're out of the ongoing game. The ongoing game will reset when there's only one player left.
Please feel free to discuss prospects and speculation- this is highly encouraged. But once you post up a guess, it cannot be changed.
I'll normally post this up on the Monday before the opening weekend, and will update the cumulative scores when the actuals are released (usually Tuesday afternoon). So because we're late for Transformers weekend, we'll skip to the next weekend.
Wide release movies opening June 30, 2017 include:
Amityville: the Awakening
Despicable Me 3
The House
Baby Driver (which actually opens the Wednesday before on June 28)
Guesses:
buckett: $98 million
Kyle: $93 million
Zombie: $78 million
poorpete- $73 million
Zen- $65 million
Hauze- $1 million

So... Does Baby Driver get to count the extra two days?

And also- I don't mean for people to actually be posting up guesses yet- just to analyze and talk about the openers. I expect we'll guess closer to next Wednesday.

I'll try my best to avoid industry estimates.
73 million (for Despicable Me) though I personally will be attending Baby Driver ASAP.

Updated rules to require that all guesses must be submitted before midnight the Wednesday before. Pete- since I changed the rules after you posted your guess, you can withdraw your guess or change it, if you want.

Hmmm.... Pretty lame set of movies considering it's a holiday weekend, or at least the weekend before a holiday... I don't really see a blockbuster in the bunch.
I'll say $65 million (Despicable Me 3)

Woah they are now downestimating to $75.4 M. This is gonna be a fun finish, but looks good for Zombie or me now.
If that holds, I'd win by .1 million. Zombie needs it to get $75.5 to tie, one cent more to win.
