The 50k is if your total is positive. Its nigh impossible and thus more of a joke than anything. It does make sense but be it 50k or 780m it doesn't really matter. And yeah fucked up is what this SOTM is. I'd recommend straight out abstain for this one.

There's still a chance Independence day might not make it to daisy. Its looking to have a 3.5m weekend and would need 7m+ after that to get past it. The screen drops will start now with big films opening and that might worsen its drops.

The same thing happened to me. But instead of waking up for no reason and what followed, I was awoken to go to school where I still felt sleepy all day and wherefrom I took a long nap soon after coming back. It had been a few hours past the locking time when I woke up..

Damn, Re:Zero is really going strong. It was already the best anime of the year for me and then this week's episode turned out to be the best yet. I am really loving this show and would really implore everyone to try it out.

Shit! I forgot to do the weekly...

1. Secret Life of Pets comes 2nd in the Domestic top 15 of the summer. 2. Alice In Wonderland 2 makes the Domestic top 15 3. Sausage Party makes over $80M 4. Ice Age fails to make $400M Worldwide 5. Suicide Squad makes $300M Domestic 6. Bad Moms makes the Domestic Top 15

65m from japan... Its not an easy target for any film. But this is the kind of film that can work really well there. I dont know how popular the original was but the 90's anime based on it (which was the most important reason for its stunning performance in India) was from here ('anime') so it must have been popular enough. So I'd say there is still a chance that the 1B might happen

Ah, so after all our pre-year expectations, ID4 will fail to even cross 100m.... How's the WOM holding up? Will it be able to cross 80m$?

Still can't believe the sequel to a film that made 300m Dom and 800m WW in frickin' '96 may not even pass 150m Dom and 600 WW. Espcially after what JW achieved last year. I never expected an improvement like that for ID4's legacy is clearly not equal to JP but it should have atleast matched what its predecessor did 20 years ago!

Btw, looking at the Independence day SOTM, I tried to give the correct answer for all the questions, wanted to play it safe. Didnt realize the buzz in america was nonexistent and that there had been no critic screenings since I did it hastily at the last moment. Anyways if things do go on as they seem to be and a even slightly similar performance follows in other nations I might as well be able to get every single one of my answers wrong. Which would be downright embarrassing but oh so good! of course if even one of them ends up correct I'll be totally doomed.

I wonder if any Indian Film will make an appearance. The Apu Trilogy maybe?

@chasmmiJust in case I gave the wrong impression - I am being serious here. The answer to Part 2 Q 2 really is 86.955 and not 86.55. And I did answer 87.

Aha!! @chasmmi Part 2 Q1 is 86.955 not 86.55. My answer was 87m. I win those 6000 points with record accuracy !!!!

No!! Wait, no. There just must be a 1000 point thing you might have simply looked over or forgot to add for me! I simply cannot be second again! God, what sin was it that I committed?!

I know. I have been in in that club for a year.

Woo Hoo!!!!! 9.2 million?!?!?! Thats fucking awesome. Absolutely great. Finally Nemo and Co. are going to be at their rightful place atop all of the animated world. OW, DOM and WW Animated records, all 3 are gonna get swam over!!
