Top Grossers: 8/3/18

Postby Kyle » Mon Jul 30, 2018 6:16 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 August 3, 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.

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:
Christopher Robin
The Darkest Minds
The Spy Who Dumped Me
Death of a Nation

Season 18:2 Scores (UPDATED):
buckett- 118
Mike- 119
Zombie- 123
Zen- 138
Kyle- 150
poorpete- 189

Guesses (in millions):
dan- 31
Kyle- 32
Mike- 33
Zombie- 34
Zen- 35
poorpete- 36
buckett- 37

The Miseducation of Cameron Post is also opening this weekend, but I'm sure it isn't getting a wide enough distribution to matter...

Does Kyle normally post limited openings? I've never paid attention.

I don’t post limited openings. Only 600+ theaters.

Yeah, I know... I was just kind of hoping it would get a wider release after winning Sundance. (So far I haven't figured out where it is actually playing. Probably LA or NY. Looks like strictly arthouse and I don't see any indication that our local art theater will be showing it soon, which probably means Amazon... sigh...)
