Top Grossers: 8/24/18

Postby Kyle » Mon Aug 20, 2018 10:38 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 24, 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:
Happy Time Murders
A.X.L.

Season 18:2 Scores (UPDATED):
Mike- 145
buckett- 147
Zombie- 149
Zen- 163
Kyle- 178
poorpete- 207

Guesses (in millions):
dan- 13
Zombie- 14
Kyle- 15
Zen- 16
Mike- 17
buckett- 20

This is it. It's all down to buckett.

13 or 20?

Personally, if I had realized that A) I was actually going to be in the running to win and B) that this was the end of the season, I probably would have played more conservatively and gone with 15. But oh well... I haven't played strategically so far, so might as well not start in the final minutes.

Barring either astoundingly good or bad performance of... what was showing this week again? Yeah... probably last week's number one movie...

I don't know... it's Labor Day weekend, so Sunday will be bigger than usual. I don't think Happytime Murders has got Sausage Party stamina, but it might strike a chord and go 20+.

Alternately, the new releases completely tank and Crazy Rich Asians takes 13.

Whoops.

Completely got my calendar off. So there's another week after this one. I've still got every opportunity to screw this up then.

*whew* Everything's back to normal.
