I'm glad to be back home where I can once again do some damage starting next weekend. They may have lost Dory, but I'll find my A-game. -
This is a very tough game to play when you're on a 2 week vacation away from a computer and reliable WiFi. But I figure every player on here will have a handful of weeks during the year where they are in the same position. Basically winged it again this week to get something in.
-
Lol. That generally means a disaster for many next weekend, historically speaking.
-
Very surprised to see so many score well this week.
-
What a week! Doesn't get any easier over Memorial Day. Appreciate the congrats!
-
Wow. Totally didn't expect it to be this close!
-
It's lights out on my Derby, thanks to The Darkness.
-
Jmorphin and I did the right thing predicting $2m for The Darkness. No clue why people showed up for it.
-
Money Monster absolutely flew under the radar. Good to see it will crack double digits, though I'm less excited to check it out as the reviews are trending more rotten. The Darkness is DOA. I didn't know a single person who was even aware it was coming out.
-
Based on previews, Money Monster may crack double digits after all. Seemed to have little buzz outside of Cannes.
-
Maybe that No Prisoners squirrel will share his nut.
-
I need to have a short memory of this disaster. That was a brutal week.
-
I'll stop short of spraying myself with Windex next weekend, but I do have a handy blindfold. I'll dust it off and give it a shot.

This weekend didn't follow any of the recent historical trajectories. Films dropped hard on Thursday due to CA previews and yet the Friday increases were comparatively weak and the IMs were not fantastic outside of TJB and Mother's Day. This was a total disaster week and really no way to see it coming beforehand. Disney also didn't manipulate either TJB or Zootopia - presumably so CA so could hold onto every dollar in light of a solid but non record-setting performance.
-
+1. And in general, sequels are expected to outsell a predecessor. It's the extent to which the current installment is surpassing another film that is the key piece of information that Fandango never provides.
-
It'll have enough gas to surpass AoU - you can be certain Disney will make that happen. Thinking $75m/$195m right now. Mother's Day on Sunday will help a bit, though this likely isn't a first choice among most Moms.
-
Yeah - even on the computer sometimes, I'll have issues. I'll change a predict, click 'save', and it reverts to the old one or completely erases the field. Just chalked it up to a random bug.
-
CA:CW Derby Average - $176.73M. Exciting weekend ahead!
-
Despite having 9 holdovers and a blockbuster opener, this is one of the most difficult weeks I remember predicting in a long time. So many variables with the only certainty being CW blowing open summer's doors.

Sometimes I want to punch you in your perfect Derby | Week 18
Rolling Thunder replied to AndyLL's topic in Box Office Derby
Really something when you score 92.6% and still lose. Can do little but tip my cap. -

Rolling Thunder replied to AndyLL's topic in Box Office Derby
I give next week's Derby a degree of difficulty of 9.0. Start of the summer movie season, Mother's Day weekend, and the uncertainty of how much number-shifting (if any) Disney will do this weekend. -
Hoping TJB performs more like Rio 2, HTTYD2, or The Croods this weekend and can touch low 40's.
-
Simionski is certainly an emerging player who has the potential to be consistently competitive.

Derby Tournaments - 1st Tournament starts this week!!!
Rolling Thunder replied to AndyLL's topic in Box Office Derby
Best of luck to our finalists this weekend! Could come down to MFH/GND2 to decide this one! -
Haha, i play there, as well. Helps to see the rankings based on estimates during the weekend.
