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 May 17, 2019. 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. You can not guess an amount that has already been guessed by someone for this week. 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 the current season for everyone that continues to play. If you miss a week, you can still play, but your score is 125% of the worst actual score awarded on the week you missed. If you miss two weeks in a row, you're out of the metagame, but still welcome to play the weekly game. There are three seasons per calendar year: (1) January 1 - the weekend before Memorial Day weekend; (2) Memorial Day weekend - Labor Day weekend; and (3) the weekend after Labor Day weekend - December 31.

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).

Pretty sure I'm DQed for missing two weeks, but if not 47

Oh right. But you can still play for the weekly win!

Shit, I thought next week was the last guess of this season, not the first guess of next season, else I would have played it differently. GL to Mike and Kyle...looks like it will be close.

Yeah, that's the only reason I got way the hell out on this limb.

Fingers crossed.

I told buckett that I fucked up by playing the movie and not the game. Oh well.

Looks like Mike is going to get this one!

What?!

Assuming it pans out, I totally do not deserve it. I played like shit this season.
