I assumed Tree was referring to its leafy self as an idiot.

Thats a rude way to address Ms McCarthy in Spy.

So, does this mean that TF2 had a script by the time it *finished* shooting? Kinda hard to tell.

Its kinda funny. I actually did bump down my F4 prediction (both domestic and WW), in part because of that and in part because its release is close enough to the closing date that it might lose a few million bucks. However, I forgot that I had picked F4 as the top grosser on... question 3 or whatever it is, and I forgot to also bump that number down. So now I've accidentally predicted 2 different totals for F4 in the same game. I guess I'll view it as risk-spreading.

That was certainly the winning strategy for the Winter Game. Since I had more than 1/4 of that game's Top15/Top10/OW guesses inaccurate enough to incur a penalty, I'm aiming for a little less optimism this time around. Edit - If nothing else, my 552 on AoU will have plenty of company. Edit2 - Well, that didn't take long.

Yeah, there are no specific dollar amount scoring criteria for Domestic or WW OW or for "Lowest BO", so no point in tracking them.

Nice hold by Cinderella

Great movie, liked it a lot. Wouldn't say that I loved it, but I thought it was solid. I will say that I loved Ultron, though. He some great lines. The audience liked the movie and seemed happy with it, but for whatever reason they *really* enjoyed every scene with Thor's hammer. Did anyone else see that kind of reaction? Audience was pretty quiet through the previews (Terminator was actually the one that got the biggest response, interestingly enough), until the end when we did indeed get the SW7 trailer. The audience cheered at basically everything through the entire trailer, and at the end when Han has his "We're home" line the guy sitting next to me blurted out "Oh my god!" and then in his excitement accidentally flipped his nachos up into the air (yes, the Oh My God definitely preceeded the flipping). Funniest thing I've ever seen happen in a movie theater.

Theater Im in for 7 pm showing is 90+% full 15 min before showtime.

Finally getting to see this shortly, along with Wrathette #1 and one of her friends. Curious to see how it stacks up, but Im a little sad because Tele diverted all my fan-boy excitement over to Fury Road.

Captain American was first introduced in March of 1941. Potter's huge, but we need to wait and see if people are still making movies about him in 2071 before deciding who has the bigger ultimate impact.

And yet...

Oh, c'mon Baumer. You know better than that. *OF COURSE* someone will be that stupid. How about closing this thread, starting a new one, and then editing the titles to make the new one the main thread? Keeping the predictions in an unlocked thread for the next few months is like buying all your Halloween candy in August and then telling all your housemates in which unlocked closet you're keeping it. You can't really complain when late October rolls around and the only thing left in the closet is empty wrappers.

Liked for the first reference to Moon Knight I've heard in probably 25+ years. As it happens, I've got a complete collection of his comics in a box (along with some other stuff) in my parents' basement.

Why am I not being given numbers? Was I bad? What did I do wrong?

1) - No 2) - Abstain 3) - Abstain 4) - Abstain Edit - I like to think I'm coming out bunting. Edit2 - Well, if you're just going to hand points out, maybe I'll take a few. Also, who knew that Kingsman made $75M in China? I had no idea.

PLAYERS: There may be more preseason bonus questions added before the start of the game. It is doubtful, but I hold the right to add a question if it seems right. The Ron Jeremy of all bonus questions This is a four parter: 1) Will Avengers make at least 600 million domestically? *ABSTAIN* 2) Will Avengers make more than a billion internationally? *ABSTAIN* 3) Will Avengers do at least 25 million for previews *YES* 4)) Will Avengers make at least 1.8 billion WW? *ABSTAIN* Scoring: All questions you answer correctly are worth 7000 points. You can go for as many as you like. Here is the catch: Every answer you call incorrectly you lose 10,000 points. There are no points for abstaining, with one caveat down below. *** Even more bonus and more treachery: If you go 4/4 you get a 28,000 point bonus. So this means you will get a total of 56,000 points for this question (7000X4 plus 28,000 point bonus) However, if you go for all 4 you must get all four correct. If you get even one incorrect, you will lose 20,000 points. So what this means is, if you go for all four and even if you get 3/4 correct, not only will you NOT get the 11,000 but you will lose a full 15,000 points. This question is worth a lot of points for those ballsy enough to go for all 4, but it will kick your ass if you get too cocky. PLEASE READ THIS ONE CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND IT FULLY. IF YOU DO NOT, THEN ASK ME. ONCE THE GAME STARTS, CLAIMING YOU DIDN'T READ IT RIGHT WILL NOT BE AN EXCUSE. THE BOTTOM LINE IS IF YOU GO FOR ALL FOUR QUESTIONS, YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST GET ALL FOUR RIGHT IN ORDER TO GET POINTS. Remember, you don't have to answer any of them. Or you can answer as little as you want. It's totally up to you. You can choose to go for as many or as little as you want. ***CAVEAT*** If you choose to abstain from all 4, you will get 5000 for doing so. You must tell me if you are abstaining. NEW QUESTION: This is a four part question. Again, you have choices. Answer any part of the question. Each answer you get correct you will receive 7000 points. Each answer you get wrong, you will lose 7000 points. If you go for all four parts of the question, you must get all four parts correct. If you get even one wrong after going for it all, you will lose 7,000 points. You can go for all of it, none of it and some of it. Choice is yours. 17) Note*** Jurassic World does not qualify for this question A) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com gross more than 100 million dollars this summer? *ABSTAIN* Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com open to more than 35 mill? *ABSTAIN* C) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com have a second weekend drop of less than 47%? *ABSTAIN* D) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com have an opening day of more than 13 mill? *ABSTAIN* Get any question right: 7000 Get any question wrong: -7000 Abstain from all four questions: 5000 Go for all four, and get all four correct not only will you get the 28,000, you get a bonus of 28,000. But you must go for all four to qualify for the bonus Double Secret Probation Bonus Question Very simple, but very dangerous. I'll give you a number, you tell me if Avengers will gross more or less than that number in said markets. 1) Russia: 42M *YES* 2) Germany: 31.5M *YES* 3) Portugal: 3M *YES* 4) China: 200M *YES* If you go for this question, you must get all 4 correct. This is not a partial question. If you get at least 3 of the 4 correct, you will get 50,000. If you choose to abstain from this question, you will lose 15,000 points. If you go for the question and you do not get at least 3 or the 4 correct, you will lose 30,000 points. Choose Wisely. The "Hey maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events but we just got our asses kicked pal" question of debauchery. Will Jurassic World and F7 combine to make more than Avengers in these markets? 1) Japan *NO* 2) United Kingdom *NO* 3) Columbia *YES* 4) Mexico *NO* Each answer will be yes or no. Nothing more. You must get at least three correct. Get three correct, get a bonus of 50,000, don't get three correct, lose 25,000, abstain, lose 10,000.

A 1) Will FF7 make more than 7.5 mill for the early shows? *YES* 2) Will FF7 open to more than 42 million on Friday (including early shows) *YES* 3) Will FF7 fall less than 25% on Sunday? *NO* 4) Will FF7 open to more than 100 mill? *YES* 5) Will FF7 open to more than 250 mill WW (yes I'm aware it opens early in many markets....whatever number is reported Sunday from all markets since it opened will count)? *YES* 6) Will Get Hard drop more than 46%? *YES* 7) Will FF7 open to more than 13.5 mill in UK? *YES* 8) Will FF7 open to more than 6.5 mill in Brazil? *YES* 9) Will FF7 open to more than 12 mill in Australia? *YES* 10) Will Kingsman fall less than 30%? *NO* What films finish is spots 4 Cinderella 5 Insurgent 7 Kingsman 8 Do You Believe 10 Run All Night 500 points each, 2500 bonus if you get all 5 spots right.

YES 4) Will FF7 gross more than 7 million in midnights/early shows? YES 5) Will FF7 gross come within 40 million of Jurassic World (it can be higher or lower than JW but it has to be within 40 mill)? NO

That's the sort of thing Chas would propose. You're both evil people.

Im in your thread, posting my predictions.
