OK, 

 

Any posts made or edited after the time on this post, will be deemed as a late entry and thus exclude the player from scoring points in the Week 1 weekly questions. 

 

Everything else is fair game to everyone :)

 

Thanks to all the entrants so far

This undersells Fantastic Beasts to a delusional, blinded point. 

 

I don't see Fantastic Beasts failing or coming up short in all those categories given brand recognition, franchise BO history, and current marketing. 

 

Its performing much stronger than RO, and Potter films have out grossed Star Wars films before

And Finally… The Jajang Jajang something something questions:

 
 
 

Higher or Lower Questions

(well this wasn’t just a Potter vs Star Wars Universe set of questions for nothing!)

Simply put down “Higher” OR “Lower” – if you fail to use put Higher or Lower and put say Yes or No for these you will be marked INCORRECT.

 

e.g. for question 1. if you pick “Higher”, then your answer is Rogue One’s theatre Count is higher than Fantastic Beast theatre count on opening weekend.

 

IF SOMEHOW (VERY UNLIKELY) WE A QUESTION WHICH IS EQUAL THEN EVERYONE WILL GET THE QUESTION CORRECT.

 

1.    Rogue One’s Theatre Count (Opening Weekend) vs Fantastic Beasts Theatre Count (Opening Weekend)? Higher

2.    Rogue One’s Opening Day vs Fantastic Beasts Opening Weekend? Lower

3.    Rogue One’s Second Weekend vs Fantastic Beasts Opening Weekend? Lower

4.    Rogue One’s Second Weekend Drop (%) vs Fantastic Beasts Second Weekend Drop (%)? Higher (Rogue One has the softer drop)

5.    Rogue One’s first 10 days Gross vs Fantastic Beasts Gross (Total for Game)? Higher

6.    Fantastic Beasts highest International Weekend (excludes domestic) vs Rogue One highest International Weekend (excludes domestic)? Lower (Rogue One grosses more)

7.    Fantastic Beasts UK Total vs Rogue One’s UK Total? (in USD please) Lower (Rogue One grosses more)

8.    Fantastic Beasts Australian Total vs Rogue One’s Australian Total? (in USD please) Lower

 

Simple Yes/No Answers:

9.    Will Rogue One’s opening weekend be the biggest of 2016? NO (CA3 higher)

10.    Will Rogue One make enough (Gross Total) to pass the 3rd biggest film Domestically of ALL TIME (unadjusted)? NO

11.    Will Rogue One be the biggest film of the Star Wars Universe that still has Anakin Skywalker alive in it? YES

12.    Will both Rogue One and Fantastic Beasts both make the top 10 films of 2016 (ALL 2016 films as per BOM)? NO

15.    Will Fantastic Beasts open amongst the top 8 films of 2016 (including all films to date and any remaining films in 2016)? NO (needs 100m+)

16.    Will Rogue One still be in the top 10 on the final weekend of the Game? NO

 

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

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.) 76

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)? 6
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))? RO
        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.)
