Top Grossers: 11/24/17

[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 November 24-26. 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:
Coco*
Roman J. Israel, Esq.*

*- These movies actually release on Wednesday 11/22/17.

Mike- yes, it was a typo and I corrected it.

Metascores updated. Zombie did very well in the metascores.

[poorpete]

I'll go -6 Zombie's guess if it's 60+. +6 if he goes under 60.

[Mike]

60

Just wanted to see if that was allowed. Not joking about my strategy.
I'll set up notifications so I'll know when Zombie posts.

Hmmm. 57
