Biggest Movies WORLDWIDE in 2016

Postby Kyle » Tue Aug 01, 2017 2:52 pm

Here's the rules:

1- Post up with a movie that was released in 2016 that you think has the highest world-wide box office gross for movies released that year.

2- After you make a post- you can only guess again AFTER I HAVE TOLD YOU IF YOU ARE RIGHT AND HAVE AWARDED POINTS. Thus, if you make a guess- please don't guess again until I've acknowledged your guess.

3- Your guess must be done off the top of your head. No research. No googling. No referring to Imdb. Obviously, no referring to Box Office Mojo. Just use your brain. This game is on the honor's system. But if you cheat, please understand that you're just ruining the game for everyone. There's nothing at stake. We're just all trying to have fun.

4- Points are awarded only for the top 20 movies of 2016, in reverse order of their place on the list. Thus, 1 point for the 20th movie. 20 points for the top movie. The listing is determined by Box Office Mojo and points will be awarded in compliance with their listing. If you think BOM has made a mistake- that's too bad.

For fun, I have posted each places worldwide gross in its respective spot (listed in billions of USD)

I will try to periodically update this first post with all the guesses, points awarded and standings.

1- Captain America: Civil War ($1.153 billion)

Zombie- Secret Life of Pets- 6th (15 pts)
buckett- Warcraft- 18th (3 pts)
Zen- Moana- 12th (9 pts)
poorpete- Suicide Squad- 10th (11 pts)
Tahlvin- Deadpool- 9th (12 pts)

Due to the level of difficulty on #14, I'm going to double the points for it. But I'm also giving a hint for it, which will cut the doubled points in half. Here's the hint for full points: #14 is a Chinese production that only got a limited release in the United States (101 theaters at its widest), and the US gross of just over $3 million only constituted 0.6% of it's worldwide gross.

Y'all know the rest of these movies.
