Star Wars TFA Tuesday Actual: 29.5M !!! (-6%)
IronJimbo replied to baumer's topic in Numbers and Data
Daily's are more recent . I'm guessing 95m to 105m, far too many underestimates in this SW run. Also your (James Cameron's) Avatar of the Star Wars girl, she reminds me of a lord of the rings character. -
Wonder what Zoe is doing in Jim's office then? Cameron seems on track, but you're right though.

You don't understand anything to do with chance/probabilities. You say luck doesn't mean a thing then you give an example of Annie Cresta who won due to luck. I'll to explain it as simply as I can, lets say everyone has the same chance of winning including the career districts. Each Victor has 50% chance of being male, and has 1/12 chance of being in each district. Each Victor has 24 possible outcomes, all with 4.17% chance. At the 75th Quell we have 56 Victors alive (Forget about existing characters), what are the chances that we have ATLEAST 1 male and 1 female for each district? We have a 6.88% of filling all 24 slots for the event.

No you don't understand what I'm trying to say at all. I'm saying if that even if each gender and district had the same chance of victory, there will be an extremely low chance of it playing out the way the author made it. It's too lucky that there managed to be 1 male and 1 female alive from each 12 districts at the time of 75th quell. It list doesn't matter at all, all the list says to me is that he wasn't thought through. The author doesn't understand how probabilties work.
-
Ohhh thanks for this information, very nice. Not entirely sure if your numbers are correct but lets assume they are. 43 into 18 slots still leaves a 8.3% of filling everyslot. Still an oversight.

Yeah I wasn't scared for the characters at all in Catching fire and it ended without really much happening. I honestly was suprised when it the credits rolled as I though this no way could be the ending. You're condesending the wrong person about the maths. District 1-12 all have 2 slots each so 24 total. District 1,2 and 4 are said to produce 50% of the victors. Lets be nice and say 1,2 and 4 get 29 of the victors. That leaves 30 victors to fill 18 slots (9 districts). What are the chances every single position being filled? They're going to be repeat winnings. I'll even be nice and assume male and females have the same surival rate. I did the maths and it's less than a 1% chance. It's a massive oversite by the author and is honestly lazy, why would a person who cares so little about numbers make a book about a game.

Looking forward to the Avatar sequels.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Themes_in_Avatar Who is this patriot and why is he so angry?

It will definetly meet expectations coming in, you can be sure of the quality of the film and it being visually better than the first. This will be the first James Cameron blockbuster sequel, the sequel to the highest grossing film of all time. I'm certain it will perform internationally. I predict no less than 2.2b

I'll consider it if I stay here for a prolonged time, might stop posting once TFA's run is over.
-
Anyone have the final figures for Tues Overseas? EDIT: Sorry I just seen it's 37.7m
-
I'll do the same right now. I heard rumours some of the Avatar sequels not being set on Pandora but on one of other moons (Pandora is a moon).

James Cameron has a perfect quote for her,

More like 2.8 billion.

Just watched Catching Fire, my rankings so far. The Hunger Games1: 70% The Hunger Games Catching Fire: 60% The Hunger Games actually had tension in it which is what makes the first one better than the second. The second's ending also was bad as a stand alone film, I understand it's meant to be a part of a series of films but it has to still be a full film. Honestly the second one felt like 2/3'rds of a film. Also something I didn't understand was how they had a full field in the 75th Quarter Quell when it was made up from victors only, there were only 59 victors to choose from.
