Top Grossers: 8/30/19

[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 August 30, 2019. 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 weekend; (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).

Shouldn't this be the last week of the season, per the rules? It says the season ends Labor Day weekend, and the next season starts the weekend after Labor Day.

Metascores updated.

Look- I get it that I screwed up last week and this week because I thought last week was the last week of the season. And I recognize that if I do end up winning this season, that I should probably put an asterisks by my name due to the screw up. But I consulted our lawyers and, for liability reasons only-- and again, this is out of my hands, guys, I'm just as mad at the lawyers as you are-- for liability reasons we simply can't put an asterisk next to a winner's name. But in our hearts we'll all know.

Eeeeew, those damn lawyers!

[buckett]

I guess I have to go 19.

[poorpete]

I adjusted mine to 20, if that's okay. Thus if I win, it'd be a three way tie. I will return to 16 if yall object
