Top Grossers: 6/29/18

Postby Kyle » Mon Jun 25, 2018 10:20 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 June 29, 2018. 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).

Past Winners:
Spring 2018: buckett
Winter 2017: Zombie

Wide release movies opening this week include:
Sicario 2
Uncle Drew

I've been talking with Zombie and buckett here in the office about dropping the "Lifetime" tracking. I've decided I don't like it because: (1) I think it discourages people from playing; and (2) it's more math.

So after this week, I'm only going to be tracking the season. If Zen (or someone else) wants to keep track of the lifetime scores in the record-keeping post, I'm not opposed to that.

We also discussed in the office that I'm crowned lifetime winner indefinitely.

I do still think we should have a record of past season champions, for posterity.

I added the "Adjusted" overall totals to the Weekly post, adding in Mike's totals, using the 125% rule for the season he missed.

Damn. I'm with you Zen. I thought it might have a better hold because of the soft competition. I was wrong.

No wait... they've adjusted the estimate to 60.9. Maybe I'll never have the deadpool, but I could possibly have this... for a little while.
