Top Grossers: 9/7/18

[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 September 7, 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).

For the record, Zombie should have the Fall 2017 season on there as well:

Summer 2017 Seaosn Scores: (Final)
poorpete: 50
Kyle: 61

Zombie: 86

Fall 2017 Season Scores (Final):
Zombie- 179

poorpete- 232

I calculated the final scores for the Fall 2017 season, since they were never posted officially that I found. Sadly, my hideous performance dropped me into last place (despite being tied for 2nd in weekly wins with 4... hmmmm... I see a trend here...)

[Mike]

I thought we only ran on three seasons each year: Spring, Summer, Winter. But I wasn't paying as much attention back then, maybe it was different.

How about "Oscar Season". What a beautiful camel we're making!

Enough nonsense. Fixed it.

This game was so much better before it went mainstream.
