Top Grossers: 12/21/18

Postby Kyle » Mon Dec 17, 2018 6:50 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 December 21, 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:
Summer 2018: Mike
Spring 2018: buckett
Winter 2017: Zombie
Summer 2017: poorpete

Wide release movies opening this week include:
Mary Poppins 2 (Wed. Open)

I'm just going to use the estimates for Aquaman for this weekend. There's something wrong with BoM because they have the acutals for last weekend, but only estimates for this one. It doesn't matter- it won't change that I'm winning.

Actuals for Aquaman: $67,873,522

Results:
Mike- 3
Kyle- 6
Zombie- 7
Zen- 13
buckett- 17

Corrected for actuals- the rounded actual number was 68 as opposed to the estimate rounded number of 67.
