    Ideas about GI Joe: Now top 11 and top 6 for dom OW

    in Chasmmi's Infamous Box Office Game

    Posted

    Why do some people have top 12's then? baumer said he didn't delete anybody's #12 film.JUST TOP 11 makes it seem as though they didn't have a #12.For example 2-3 posters actually had GI JOE as #12 and baumer included their GI JOE gross below it.Doesn't make sense why he would delete 4 people's #12.

    He deleted some people's and didn't delete others - I guess he got tired after awhile and just copy and pasted JUST TOP 11 over some peoples 12th film. But he says he's gone through and deleted them all now.

    But we don't know if it would have made it to the top 12. No one does. And since we all called it to get there, and it didn't, even though not in the traditional sense, wouldn't it be pragmatic and fair to give those ten a small bonus?

    I completely agree baumer, I can't believe everyone's so up in arms about this. Those 10 people were right, GI Joe 2 didn't make the top 12 and to be honest, I don't think it would have made the top 12 anyway and if I had it to do again I'd remove it. Clearly, the studio agrees or it wouldn't have pulled the film.

    I get what you're saying but honestly GI Joe if it were released would indisputably be in the Top 12.Saying it therefore made $0 or is unforeseen isn't fair a justification for the 10 people who didn't have it in.I'm not sure what the predictions for the #12 movie are for people who have 12 without GI Joe, but if it were listed, and say someone had predicted the #12 film at $90m, let's face it, GI Joe was never looking like making less than $90m.The flaw in my argument is that 10 people thought it would bomb anyway so obviously it wasn't a lock. But given where we are/were now right before GI Joe was yanked, you'd have to be living under a rock to say that it wasn't going to make at least $110m.

    I disagree personally that it was locked to make the top 12. But the decision's been made. If TDKR moves to Wednesday or any other due dates are changed I don't want people clamouring for a do-over, because changes are always possible and you have to take that into consideration.

    That is an awful idea. Why would those 10 people be allowed to take off any movie they want when the other 44 people can't? GI Joe being removed didn't help anyone, there is no reason to reward anybody for what is out of their control.We just need to move on. Shit happens.

    They shouldn't be penalized for making a correct call. Take Totem for example, he didn't have GI Joe 2 in his top 12 - which was the right call. But he's now lost his 12th movie 'That's My Boy', but has had to keep Battleship and Dark Shadows. Now if That's My Boy makes the top 12, he has a legitimate right to be pissed - he's lost out on those points through no fault of his own.Those 10 people correctly predicted that GI Joe 2 wouldn't make the top 12 (you generally need to get $120m to get there). Well, they were right and the studio obviously agrees with them or it wouldn't have been pulled. I think everything should have stayed the way it was - unpredictable things happen in box office - so what if a movie gets pulled or an opening day changes?
