Top Grossers: 11/17/17

Postby Kyle » Mon Nov 13, 2017 11:50 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 November 17-19. 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; (2) Memorial Day weekend - Labor Day weekend; and (3) the weekend after Labor Day weekend - December 31.

Lifetime scores will be tracked as long as there are two people that have not been eliminated (by missing two weeks in a row). In the even that only one person remains in the lifetime scores, that person will be deemed King of Movie Mountain, and the lifetime scores will reset beginning with the next week. The King of Movie Mountain's reign lasts until a new King of Movie Mountain is named through the application of these rules.

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:
Justice League
The Star
Wonder

Zombie- 101
buckett- 110

Metascores updated. The only difference in standings is that Mike passed me in the season standings.

I'm probably late on this but if not, 119

Edit: I'm definitely late but leaving this guess up for posterity.

Hahahhahaha. Oh my.

What bitterness of destroying my record is tempered by the fact DC fans are finally listening to critics.

So even though buckett made a pick, he did it past the deadline. That means he gets a score equal to 125% percent of the worst score of the week. But that shouldn't be a problem because...

...oh no...

...

...Oh no...

Weekend Actuals:

OH NO!

Justice League- $93,842,239

OH NO!

Results:
Zombie- 23
Kyle- 32
Zen- 36
Mike- 38
poorpete- 42
buckett- 53

Congrats, Zombie!
