That's sad, BOM is becoming less and less reliable...

Fri: 9.7m Sat: 11.2m Sun: 9.3m Wknd: 30.2m

Poltergeist Fri: 9.4m Sat: 8.6m Sun: 6.7m Wknd: 24.7m

Pitch Perfect 2 Fri: 9.7m Sat: 10.9m Sun: 8.7m Wknd: 29.3m (116.8m, 57.8% drop) Mad Max Fri: 6.7m Sat: 7.8m Sun: 6.5m Wknd: 21m (84.4m, 53.5% Drop)

Nearly a 60% drop, slightly harder than it probably should be given it played well over the weekend. But I'm not overly surprised.

Not necessarily, it's playing out like an adult action movie. There's no reason to expect it to develop the sexy legs people have been talking about (Even with its quality) simply because it has a limited target audience.

That's a shame. I'm similar in that I don't watch a lot of TV. I'd encourage binge watching GoT though, it's very cinematic.

No it's not, because its a horror, it speaks for itself that it looks front loaded.

People seem to want to downtalk Tomorrowland, had it been San Andreas scoring that number everyone would be saying its a good number for the theater count (which it is). It's not a great number but its not an OMG flop number either, especially for a family movie. It being a family movie is going to play well and give it strong legs till Inside Out. (Maybe Jurassic World if it's taken as such)

1.Inside Out 2.Spy 3.Jurassic World 4.Ant-Man 5.Minions 6.Pixels 7.The Hateful Eight 8.Crimson Peak 9.Bridge of Spies 10.In the Heart of the Sea

Excellent read. She hit the nail on the head.

I'll bet 2 people 50 points that Aloha opens under 20m

Got it! Sorry, I will be sure to pm next time. Thank you for the quick fix

Just a fancy term for that gay guy in medieval terms.

Week 3 for me should be 16,000 not 7,000

Exactly. All of the bad comments about last nights episodes have been, "It made me very uncomfortable to watch a rape scene, and you shouldn't do these type of awful things to female characters." However gutstabbing your pregnant female characters, while slitting the throat of your strongest, 'honorable female character' within 10 minutes is praised. It's most likely because people have become so desensitized to violence that they really don't care and will just yell, "Cool!" Yet for something like rape, even though it's a real thing that happened and foolish to ignore that that's what would most likely have happened if a Ramsay/Sansa wedding was in actuality, people aren't desensitized to it. I don't know if it was absolutely necessary to have Ramsay rape her, but it wasn't out of the blue, it should have been seen coming the moment it was revealed Sansa was going to have to marry him.

I scored 16000 points on week 3 not 7000 (its also in your original post), that dropped me about 10 ranks or so.

300 May be a good comparison. It would get Mad Max to around 135m, which seems about right. The thing about PP2 and Mad Max is they are heavily geared to a single demographic, which means their future legs probably won't be all that strong. 135-150m for Mad Max and 175m-200m for PP2 seems likely.

I like my spot, gives me a great position to surge up as long as I am smart.

That's a good Max hold, but remember it also skews older. Films that skew older tend to drop softer on weekdays anyways. While this is a good indicator for good WoM, I wouldn't start calling 200m+ yet. PP2 may hold somewhat like the first Sex and The City to The Great Gatsby, which would put it around the 180m-200m range.

1) Will Poltergeist have at least 1.5 mill in previews? Yes 2) Will Poltergeist have an opening day of more than 7 million? Yes 3) Will Tomorrowland be number one for the 4 day weekend? Yes 4) Will Tomorrowland gross more for the three day than Poltergeist does for the 4? Yes 5) Will Pitch Perfect 2 fall more than 45%? Yes 6) Will Max fall more than 40%? Yes 7) Will any film in the top 10 increase for the 4 day (compared to last weeks 3 day)? No 8) Will Avengers have a Saturday increase of more than 60.5%? No 9) Will Home remain in the top 10? Yes 10) Will F7 get past 350 mill after Monday, so Monday's gross will count for this question. No 11) Will Mad Max have a better Thursday drop % wise than PP2? Yes 12) Will Age of Adeline have a better drop % wise than Woman in Gold? Yes 10/12 3000 11/12 4000 12/12 7000 (I think the questions have a good degree of difficulty this weekend. Question 13: Another all or nothing question, but with a twist. Here are four questions. If you go for these four questions, and you get them all correct, not only will you score 25,000 points, but you will have the opportunity at ANY POINT IN THE GAME BEFORE AUGUST 1ST, to challenge any two players to four of these very questions. If they get your questions right, they will receive a 30,000 point bonus, if they do not, they will lose 20,000. The reason they will receive such a high score for being correct is that the pressure is on them. Now, keep in mind, you NEVER have to use this bonus. It is not mandatory. But it will be there if you choose to use it,. All contingent of course on you getting all four questions right this weekend. And of course, if you are correct and at some point of the game you choose to challenge someone, all questions must be in the spirit of the game and they MUST BE APPROVED BY ME. If you are unclear on any of this please let me know. 1) Will Home increase more than 71.3% on Saturday? Yes 2) Will any of the top three films on Thursday, fall less than 10%? Yes 3) Will Avengers have a Friday increase of more than 100%? Yes 4) Will Mad Max have a Saturday increase of more than 25%? Yes Good luck!! Bonus 1: What finishes in spots: 6 Hot Pursuit 8 Age of Adaline 9 Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 12 Far From the Maddening Crow 3000 each and a bonus of 3000 if all four correct. Bonus 2: What will PP2 and Tomorrowland combine to make for the 4 day? 91.8m Bonus 3: What will Age of Adaline make on Saturday? 0.99555m

I think there's only 12 or so different archetypes you can tell. With some things altered but there's really only 12 different stories or so.

I'll bet 75 points to one person Tomorrowland opens at #1 I'll bet 50 points to two people Spy is over 130m DOM

Again, you don't know where its going, so you can't say it's unnecessary until you see the endpoint.

I'll take the first Technically I don't have enough points, but I should be winning the 100 point Hot Pursuit under 100m bet next update.
