I almost want to try this, but then I remembered that this was the professor who marked 30 points off almost half the classes lab grades on a problem that said, "Use any data set to complete this problem" because they used the wrong data set.

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
The Panda replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
I do think there's a good chance Pre-Sales are inflated in a Star Wars kind of way. 'Minority targeting movies' (Not sure how else to phrase it, maybe movies that appeal more to minorities) are historically a little more frontloaded, which would then make sense if BP did turn out to be more frontloaded with pre-sales than the typical Marvel movie. (As BP isn't a typical comic book movie, it's much more appealing to minorities than a typical superhero movie) That's similar to how Wonder Woman ended up playing more backloaded because it had more female demo appeal, only difference is movies targeting the female demo trend leggier, while movies targeting minorities trend a little more frontloaded. I don't really know what that means for BP's opening weekend, because we don't have many real comps in that regard, at least with the pre-sale numbers it's having. It could easily blow past CW numbers and shock everyone, or pre-sales could be inflated based on the target audience being different, which would mean a 'smaller' 140-160m OW. I'd keep that in mind when setting expectations, these pre-sales don't necessarily mean over CW OW or even over BvS OW, but they don't necessarily mean under those either. There's a fairly large range where one could reasonably expect this to land. I'd be fairly confident in saying OW under TLJ, but over Deadpool. Idk much about narrowing that range and still being confident about the answer. -

You didn't like Three Billboards or Wonder? Typical Tele. -
Lol at this problem I was assigned in my DE textbook "It was noon on a cold December day in Tampa: 16ºC. Detective Taylor arrived at the crime scene to find the sergeant leaning over the body. The sergeant said there were several suspects. If they knew the exact time of death, then they could narrow the list. Detective Taylor took out a thermometer and measured the temperature of the body: 34.5ºC. He then left for lunch. Upon returning at 1:00 P.M., he found the body temperature to be 33.7ºC. When did the murder occur? [Hint: Normal body temperature is 37ºC.]"

I actually realized (after looking her up on facebook lol) that I recognized her and I knew her from a Summer Camp I went to way back in high school (although idk if either of us really were conscious of that at the time. Maybe subconsciously she recognized me or something). Anyways, no idea, I didn't meet her in class.

Hey, talking about math at least shows you’re an intelligent human being who’ll make money in the future. Much better than ranting about mother or talking about trailer counts! She also didn’t seem repulsed, which is odd, math is usually my go to subject to repel people when I don’t want to talk.

I met a cute girl who came up and started talking to me, and later came and sat by me and kept talking to me. It’s a shame I obliviously wasted my opportunity and talked about math half the time.

Also, we need to cast Rachel Bloom in more stuff.

11 episodes into Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, so far it’s a refreshing and hilarious take on musical genre tropes.

Not necessarily true, I think Get Out would have won either way.

I have no certainty about Best Picture. Shape of Water missed a SAG ensemble nod Get Out missed a BAFTA BP nod and has only won WGA (although same with Moonlight, right?) Three Billboards missed a directors nod (and isn't sweeping to make up for it) All three of those should be strikes out, but obviously nothing has hit all of the ticks this year. One of those trends is taking a sinker. I think a preferential ballot favors Get Out or Shape of Water.

How close is my translation? “Autumn and Pixie are running in the park chasing cats. They are very quick. They are getting very tired. Mother is at home watching television. The sun is setting and it’s getting dark. Alex’s parents have exited the building. I announce that I believe that it’s time that Alex should come home and do his homework.”

Those are crazy pre-sales, definitely thinking 160m+, but I wouldn’t set a 200m OW expectation just yet -

There’s a chance that Sunday hold could be stronger too. 80-85m is probably the low ends. High end at 110m or so -
Started watching Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, it’s pretty hilarious

Anyone think Peter Rabbit might be in for a leggy run? 25m isn’t much, but there’s a barren wasteland of family competition. With V-Day and Presidents Day. -
