IRELAND'S Top Movies of 2016
IRELAND'S Top Movies of 2016
Here's the rules:
1- Post up with a movie that was released in 2016 that you think has the highest domestic box office gross in Ireland.
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 10 movies, in reverse order of their place on the list. Thus, 1 point for the 10th movie. 10 points for the top movie. The listing is determined by a secret source that I found and points will be awarded in compliance with their listing. If you think BOM has made a mistake- that's too bad.
I will try to periodically update this first post with all the guesses, points awarded and standings.
MOVIES:
1-
2- Finding Dory
3- The Secret Life of Pets
4- The Jungle Book
5- Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
6- Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
7- Suicide Squad
8- Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
9- Deadpool
10- Captain America: Civil War
STANDINGS:
buckett- 16 points
Bludevyl- 10 points
poorpete- 9 points
Mike- 5 points
Zen- 4 points
Mike- 1 point

Star Wars Episode VII
I know this is a 2015 movie, but it was a holiday release, and I'm betting on it still making huge bank in 2016. Plus, I have no idea if it released there the same day it did here. I assume so.

Re: IRELAND'S Top Movies of 2016
Mike- the rules state that it's movies released in 2016. I'm not trying to dissuade you from your answer, because when a movie is released in Ireland is not the same as in the US. But I don't want you to make guesses based on how much a movie made in 2016, if you think it was released in Ireland in 2015.
Re: IRELAND'S Top Movies of 2016
You're right. I overlooked that.
Then I'm going to say Batman v Superman.
I remember the hoopla about Australians seeing SW7 before us, because the day started earlier. I'm sure SW7 was 2015.

Finding Dory
Re: IRELAND'S Top Movies of 2016
I want to add too- all of the movies on the list were given a wide release here in the states. There's not some Irish movie we've never heard of that made the top 10.

Y'all are still missing 3 of the top 4 movies. I'm going to leave this open until we get bored with it or guess them all.
