The great thing? Even if Fantastic beasts makes 0$, the HP franchise would still retain a 100m$+ average. And it only needs to make 24m for it to retain the highest per movie average too.

A 112m$ average for the HP films! Thats more than 30m$ and more than 40% more than any movie made this year! Insane indeed...

This is so so disappointing

56/185 China - 330 OS-C 485 WW - 1B

I think the answers all remained the same but two fucking placements got changed with the actuals. Its now the Forest at 13 and Spotlight at 16.

I know that (the first part) and you may be right but consider this example - Two players, each used cut short on question 5. Each question increases 5k to the total. Player 1 Player 2 Q1 correct. C Q2. Correct. C 3 correct . C 4. Correct. C 5. Wrong . C 6. Wrong C 7 wrong C 8. Wrong w 9. Wrong c 10. Wrong. C Now going by your way, the first guy would lose 25k while the second will lose 50k. Tell me, do you think it would be fair? I already didn't think that someone with many wrongs losing the same as someone with one wrong, when both answered same no of questions, was fair. But that is how the game works. But in this case a guy is actually losing more because he got a question right (the fifth one).

So they are getting rewarded for getting a question wrong? Coz Going by that, other people who used cut short too but unfortunately ended up getting the cut short question right will lose more points even after making the same mistakes in the following questions. And that would be massively unfair. So I don't think it works that way.

The scoring's wrong for these two - ThatOneGuy: -80k (Cut Short on Question 4 but got the 28k Q wrong too) Telemachos: -50k (Cut Short on Question 8 but got the 40k Q wrong too)

This sucks once again I got everything right, all the questions I used a life line on too. And yet I didn't use a lifeline on the one question I got wrong... But I simply didn't think there was any way it won't happen. Everyone was talking about a billion so I thought atleast 952 should have no problem.. And I went down from winning 60k to losing the same.

The 50,000 question should go to US.

Yes, but no this was no lesson. Just a joke (since you said somewhere you often get confused between if and when). You are much too elder to me (this is grammatically incorrect but feels more polite to me than 'older than me' which is the correct phrase) for me to give you any lessons. And I am not a native English speaker either. And I have high respect for you who self taught yourself another language and even moreso since you still kept trying even after a shitty teacher told you you were his worst student (I know it can extremely disheartening). P.S (and not a lesson but just as a learner to a fellow learner and since we are on the topic and since it is a simple thing to remember and can help in lots of sentences) - we do not use past tense in sentences where 'did' has already been used. So it should be 'did i correctly understand '

170m still seems a safe target for Revenant. I personally am very curious about what increases it will see if it wins a bunch of major Oscars, especially Best Actor. The Leo and Oscar thing is big stuff and much wider known than I imagined. Apparently a reason for its good performance even as far away as South Korea, was the extensive Leo-Oscar talks and speculations on the internet and even in Local media! When (see @terrestrial this is an example where if would be wrong, maybe even a sin ) he wins the Oscar that will be the big news of the Oscars, of the week maybe even of the month (barring any terrorist attacks or Donald Trump's assassination) and not just in US but globally! Even though it would be quite late into the run, I am still very curious about what impact it will have.

This is supernatural stuff. No mere mortal can accomplish such feats. I had my doubts before but there's no denying it anymore - Exxdee is a Timelord!

Guys can you please name these weird movies you are talking about? They are making me curious. Killer tires XD ! And a corpse with an erection? Some kind of necrophiliac disturbing film? But no farting's there too Oh also - Radcliffe stars in it

Pretty good week for me too. 13 correct in Part 1. 5 placements in Part 2. No chance on any of the bonus questions though.

I think Fifth wave will beat Grandpa in total gross. Should definitely have better legs. Can finest hours beat both though? It seems to me like the kind of movie that easily should, but IHOTS flopped so there's no telling. Also how is the WOM for the Boy? Can it pass 30m off a 10m opening? That would be a pretty good multi for a horror movie though this one shouldn't be as frontloaded due to not being a sequel and having a deflated OW.

Just watched Erased (the 3 episodes released yet). Really, really good. As @eXtacy said, its an absolute must-watch. The characters, the thrills, the unique story (especially to me since I have watched neither The girl who leapt through time nor Steins Gate), the pacing - its all perfect. The animation is good too. The show always keeps you wanting to see what's coming next. Can't wait for the rest of the episodes.

Thats pretty good for panda despite the cold wave.

What does this number suggest for DG? Can the OW be near 15m?

If not for the storm I'd say Revenant could have had a near 20m weekend.

Box office wise in China? 270-350m. Edit: sorry, read changes as 'chances'

The love for Forrest Gump seems pretty surprising to me.
