With this granddaddy of all twists, The Wizards have taken the top prize, despite having a neglectful player. However, instead of The Wizards having to go to tribal council, The Demons will be participating in a special competition to win a prize that may prove beneficial to future endeavors on Survivor. THE WIZARDS ARE PREDICTING HERE, NOT THE DEMONS. However, since Punishment had the highest score of his team,  he has also earned the privilege of participating.

 

There's no voting, but just a challenge.

Snitch

Dark Skies

Escape From Planet Earth

Warm Bodies

Argo

Silver Linings Playbook

Identity Thief

[The Creator]

Yeah, that's the kind of shit that happens when you know nothing about the Oscars this year and when you realize you were almost about to forget and you have like 5 minutes to squeeze them in while planning a party. Terrible score on my end. Blegh.

[acsc1312]

Yeah, that's the kind of shit that happens when you know nothing about the Oscars this year and when you realize you were almost about to forget and you have like 5 minutes to squeeze them in while planning a party. Terrible score on my end. Blegh.

Good thing you got switched from my team!

I got most of the Oscar questions right but I also did pretty well on the openers and that was important cause they were the only two films we predicted this weekend.

[chasmmi]

As always just wanting to clarify, Assuming that Stoker is not included in the openers combined total right, just the 4 films given to predict....

[Ezen Baklattan]

Yeah, just the four wide releases.

 

EDIT: I'll actually exclude Phantom here because it would be a bit too difficult, due to the variability that lower grossers could have in rank.

Edited February 28, 2013 by Spaghetti

[chasmmi]

Phantom and last exorcism keep getting muddled in my mind, I was almost ready to guess something like 78th for question 5

[DoctorWho]

I missed the deadline

[chasmmi]

I missed the deadline

 

 ... oh I see, the Thursday 7am bonus midweek thingy deadline.

 

Don't you scare me like that! I thought for a sec that I'd accidentally gone into hibernation for 2 days.

[ChD]

Part 2 last question. Ranked after Opening Weekend numbers, right?

 

Edited February 28, 2013 by ChD

[Ezen Baklattan]

Yeah, it's just for opening weekends in the genre.
