Top Grossers: 7/28/17

[Kyle]

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 28-30. 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:
Atomic Blonde
The Emoji Movie

Ongoing Scores (Updated):
poorpete: 13
Kyle: 34
Zombie: 37
Zen: 44
buckett: 45

Guesses (in millions):
Kyle- 32
Zen- 25
poorpete- 29
buckett- 33
Zombie- 30

I'm going Emoji Movie: $32 million

[Zen]

I'm going with Atomic Blonde at $25 mil (Summer movie burnout season is here... but Charlize Theron... Yeah... She'll draw in a few folks...)

Edit: Actually, I might be heading out to this one!

[poorpete]

I hope atomic blonde is good and does well and $29 mil sounds like a good number for either that or a no doubt crappy Emoji Movie or week 2 of Dunkirk.

I was going to promise to differentiate myself better on a future week, but looks like we might be done with blockbuster season, right?

[buckett]

33

[Kyle]

Ongoing scores updated with last weekend's results.

[Zombie]

30

[Kyle]

Actuals are in: $26,611,130 for Dunkirk.

Congrats, Zen!

Final results:
Zen- 2
poorpete- 2
Zombie- 3
Kyle- 5
buckett- 6
