wow, in my summer game notes I studied the wikipedia page and watched the trailer and concluded this would be a small hit with great reviews..... It sounded good. I wanted to see it at that time (months ago) I thought it was going to mimic The Other Boleyn Girl

Holy crap, Chewy is going to make a giant net gain in points on the leaderboard with this and still being in QOTW. anything over 16,102,945 in Annabelle's second weekend and we are all eliminated and loose half our points @Chewy@That Floating Guy@jj99

I thought TLK was arthouse

do you want to grade any? Otherwise I am going to have at it at another one tonight or tomorrow..

Please check your answers from above and dispute any errors. R2 is known to be wrong Props to Jake Gittes for winning SOTM 7 by going for all of them, and in the process, correctly guessing Girl's Trip making the top 10. The odds were in your favor. Props also for franfar for guessing only 3 but getting all 3 right which includes 2 easy ones + Girls Trip making the top 10. Risky! And also props to Squadron Leader Tele who got second place by guessing and getting 5 out of 5 correct. 26 people played, and 4 abstained.

GRADING SOTM 7..... These are based on my estimates. If the rankings of the movies changes to affect the game, of course I will regrade ASAP! The following July 7th - August 18th Wide Release films were predicted to make the top 15 by 0-5 players: Girls Trip Atomic Blonde Annabelle 2 Hitman's Bodyguard Wish Upon Kidnap Glass Castle Nut Job 2 Logan Lucky Predict where each film will finish for the summer. There are 5 choices you can make: TOP 10 (40,000 / 30,000) 11-15th (25,000 / 20,000) 16-20th (20,000 / 15,000) 21-25th (15,000 / 20,000) 26th or lower (10,000 / 30,000) The numbers in brackets show the points you can win/lose (win on the left, lose on the right) You can predict as many films as you like, but you must choose a minimum of 3 to play! Abstain is worth Minus 5000 points Deadline is Thursday 29th at 11:59pm ESTIMATES FOR HOW THINGS COULD LOOK AFTER LABOR DAY MONDAY Here is what we are looking at (SOTM 7 movies are in bold) 1. Wonder Woman - 407.5 2. Galaxy Vol. 2 - 390 3. Spider-Man - 323 4. Despicable Me 3 - 256 5. Dunkirk - 180 6. Pirates 5 - 172.5 7. Cars 3 - 150 8. Apes - 144.5 9. Transformers - 130.75 10. Girls Trip - 111.5 11. Baby Driver - 105 12. Annabelle - 90 13. Emoji Movie - 82.5 14. The Mummy - 80.25 15. Alien Covenant - 74.5 16. Captain Underpants - 73.5 17. Baywatch - 58,060,186 18. Atomic Blonde - 52 19. Hitman's Bodyguard - (50-60) 20. The Dark Tower - 47.5 21. Snatched - 45,852,178 22. All Eyez on Me - 44,922,302 23. 47 Meters Down - 44 24. The Big Sick - (42-46) 25. Valerian - 40 26. King Arthur - 39,175,066 27. Kidnap - 29+ 28. Nut Job 2 - 27+ 29. Logan Lucky 25+ 30. The House - 25.5 31. Detroit - 18 32. The Glass Castle - 18 33. Wish Upon - 14.1 As you can see, the final gross of King Arthur should be the threshold for Kidnap, Nut Job 2, Logan Lucky, The Glass Castle, or Wish Upon finishing 26th or lower. It looks like the 45M+ range will get you into 20th place unless The Big Sick really expands big. Atomic Blonde looks safe at 16th-20th, and so does The Hitman's Bodyguard but this will take a regrade if HB falls belows or blows up by Labor Day Monday and gets to 15th place (which it could reach eventually). Girls Trip looks safe at 10th place unless Baby Driver has an outstanding re-expansion. Annabelle will take the 11-15th slot. THIS SHOULD BE THE ANSWERS Top 10 - Girls Trip 11th - 15th - Annabelle 16th - 20th - Atomic Blonde, Hitman's Bodyguard 20-25th - 26th or lower - Kidnap, Nut Job 2, Logan Lucky, Glass Castle, Wish Upon.

I do not see 4.5 for Spider-Man off of a 1.2 Friday. I am a little disappointed it only got 1.2 versus 1.4 for Emoji. I was hoping this late down the summer, Spider-Man would strengthen as a top choice for kids above Emoji Movie.

I have been doing War Dogs comparison. War Dogs 1.25 OD / 5.5 OD/ 14.69 OW/ 36.61 total after Labor Day Hitman's Bodyguard 1.65 previews / 7.26 OD / 19.39 weekend / 48.33 total after Labor Day

I gave up on the Discovery Channel years ago. Same with Science Channel.

HITMAN'S BODYGUARD, THE (2017) LOGAN LUCKY (2017) and because I am having a good time watching this on the tele right now.. ALONG CAME A SPIDER (2001)

INCEPTION

because they appeal directly to rural America like what the ads are saying for Logan Lucky. I do not see what is so appealing with heist movies. It seems so unrelatable. Always planning for that heist!!!

I remember last year I was all over reporting reserved seating reports for something like 600 showtimes. From the looks of it, War Dogs was bound to hit #1 over Suicide Squad with a Friday PTA of at least 2,000 (thursday previews removed). Kubo and the Two Strings also was HOT all night and was going to be at the top of expectations. Then Asgard reported. War Dogs had a Friday PTA of $1,320 (Thurs previews removed). Kubo had a PTA of $1,088. Moral of the story is I am not going near another epic reserved seating report this year!!! Counting hundreds and hundreds of sold seats for War Dogs! Anyways, if Hitman's Bodyguard gets $2000 PTA today, its full Friday number with previews would be 8.4

I was consistently rolling my eyes at all the articles about Logan Lucky being advertised for 'rural America' and that it could over-perform there. I was thinking, well what about Hitman's Bodyguard. That seems like it is universally appealing to basically 100% of America, and along with Dunkirk and Megan Leavey, that is alot of competition against Logan Lucky. Logan Lucky is a heist/caper film. Why do they always make these? Take good directors, good production team, great cast, and make a movie about people stealing stuff? Is this really what people do? they get together and make a plan for a heist! There are sooo many movies that do this, and they have been showing for so many decades. And for some reason, the masses pay to see them. I never understood this. I do not hate the genre, one of my favorite movies is a heist film, i just question the whole process.

weekend 1 - Kidnap weekend 2 - Emoji weekend 3 - Girls T

do you suggest that if someone lives near one of these regions, they should not be in charge of any games on here in case they die and there is no backup??

are we going to grade Transformers OW differently?

Of course the last time we had a weekend of August 18-20th was back in 2006 when Snakes on a Plane opened at #1 (but the top 5 was backloaded and Invincible hit #1 the next week) 1 N Snakes on a Plane NL $13,806,311 - 3,555 - $3,883 $15,206,301 $33 1 2 1 Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby Sony $13,755,387 -37.8% 3,741 -66 $3,676 $114,341,263 $72.5 3 3 3 World Trade Center Par. $10,901,350 -41.8% 2,998 +41 $3,636 $45,105,868 $65 2 4 2 Step Up BV $10,157,605 -50.8% 2,639 +172 $3,849 $39,738,435 $12 2 5 N Accepted Uni. $10,023,835 - 2,914 - $3,439 $10,023,835 $23 1
