And Finally… The Jajang Jajang something something questions:

 

1.    Rogue One’s Theatre Count (Opening Weekend) vs Fantastic Beasts Theatre Count (Opening Weekend)?
2.    Rogue One’s Opening Day vs Fantastic Beasts Opening Weekend?
3.    Rogue One’s Second Weekend vs Fantastic Beasts Opening Weekend?

5.    Rogue One’s first 10 days Gross vs Fantastic Beasts Gross (Total for Game)?
6.    Fantastic Beasts highest International Weekend (excludes domestic) vs Rogue One highest International Weekend (excludes domestic)?
7.    Fantastic Beasts UK Total vs Rogue One’s UK Total? (in USD please)
8.    Fantastic Beasts Australian Total vs Rogue One’s Australian Total? (in USD please)


Simple Yes/No Answers:

9.    Will Rogue One’s opening weekend be the biggest of 2016?
10.    Will Rogue One make enough (Gross Total) to pass the 3rd biggest film Domestically of ALL TIME (unadjusted)?
11.    Will Rogue One be the biggest film of the Star Wars Universe that still has Anakin Skywalker alive in it?
12.    Will both Rogue One and Fantastic Beasts both make the top 10 films of 2016 (ALL 2016 films as per BOM)?


13.    Both the Rogue One Weekend and Fantastic Beasts Weekend have other films opening on the same weekend as these blockbusters.   Will the Rogue One Weekend have the highest opening weekend that isn’t Rogue One or Fantastic Beasts?
14.    Will Fantastic Beasts become the lowest opening weekend for a film in the Harry Potter Universe?
15.    Will Fantastic Beasts open amongst the top 8 films of 2016 (including all films to date and any remaining films in 2016)?
16.    Will Rogue One still be in the top 10 on the final weekend of the Game?


A few final questions to really test the thinking…..


17.    Which film (Rogue One or Fantastic Beasts) will hold onto the # 1 Daily Rank for the longest?
18.    In What position will Fantastic Beasts be in (in the Weekend Chart), the weekend Rogue One opens (you have a cushion of 1 position)?
19.    How many characters will appear in Rogue One that are considered to be main characters or were introduced in the main Franchise films (I will give you a cushion of 1 character)?
20.    Which film (Rogue One or Fantastic Beasts) will have more # 1 films in various countries around the world (including Domestic) (this is as reported by BOM (Domestic and International))?
        a.    As a bonus tell me how many countries have your selected film as number 1 (there is no cushion and if you get it wrong you don’t lose anything as it is a bonus). (also you must get Q20 correct to be able receive a score for part a.)

A few final questions to really test the thinking…..


17.    Which film (Rogue One or Fantastic Beasts) will hold onto the # 1 Daily Rank for the longest? Rogue One
18.    In What position will Fantastic Beasts be in (in the Weekend Chart), the weekend Rogue One opens (you have a cushion of 1 position)? 5
19.    How many characters will appear in Rogue One that are considered to be main characters or were introduced in the main Franchise films (I will give you a cushion of 1 character)? 3
20.    Which film (Rogue One or Fantastic Beasts) will have more # 1 films in various countries around the world (including Domestic) (this is as reported by BOM (Domestic and International))? Rogue One
        a.    As a bonus tell me how many countries have your selected film as number 1 (there is no cushion and if you get it wrong you don’t lose anything as it is a bonus). (also you must get Q20 correct to be able receive a score for part a.) 11
