Top Grossers: 7/14/17

Postby Kyle » Mon Jul 10, 2017 9:10 am

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 July 14-16. 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 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. 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).

Wide release movies opening this week include:
War for the Planet of the Apes
Wish Upon

Ongoing Scores (Updated):
poorpete: 4
Kyle: 26
Zombie: 27
Zen: 28
buckett: 30
Hauze: 92

Guesses (in millions):
Kyle: 58
Zen: 55
poorpete: 64
Zombie- 53
buckett- 61

My guess is that Spider-Man: Homecoming is going to repeat as the number one movie with a total of:

$58 million

Another tough one... wait this is all tough ones, a few people in Hollywood get paid big to be good at this. I think you two are in the right range, but I'll go optimistic again and guess a 45% drop to 64M.

Est now 56.5 million, which would be a fight to the finish between Zen and Kyle.
