Biggest Opening Weekends of 2014

Postby Kyle » Thu Jul 06, 2017 3:33 pm

Here's the rules:

1- Post up with a movie that was released in 2014 that you think has the highest opening weekend in the United States according to Box Office Mojo. These are only Friday, Saturday, Sunday only- not extended holiday weekends.

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, 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. 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.

I can't believe I'm better at knowing 1984 releases than 2014 releases. Here we go:

Jurassic World

It is odd, isn't it...

Ender's Game

Nope!

I'm shocked at how hard this game is. I think three years ago is just enough time elapsed that your brain lumps it together with everything for three years before that. Because I'm pretty sure if I did 2015, this game would be over by now.

It is truly hard... The years all meld together, ya know?

I doubt that it's right, but:

Star Trek Into Darkness

Once again... a year off...

My only excuse is my daughter was two and I think I missed all movies from that year. I don't think we saw a new movie in the theaters from Argo to ... Inside Out when she was three--- I should've added correctly!

Okay. I'm closing this down and officially declaring it NOT FUN.

I've got a better game anyways.
