yup, always room to improve

Thx, Andy!  Looks like it was quite the nailbiter

That definitely balances out my bad showing last week

Thx, Tower!

[Derby & Derby Game Feature Requests]

Is it possible to have access to some kind of scoring calculator to project our score before the final results?

[Hey guys, you ever see that really old movie, The Derby Strikes Back? | Week 21]

Thank you, yes I dropped 14 spots from the early projections a few weeks ago.  I'll be happy to break 80

[Hey guys, you ever see that really old movie, The Derby Strikes Back? | Week 21]

can you check mine?

[Captain, while a great many people see you as a hero, there are some who prefer the word Derby. | Week 19]

looks like a good score would be breaking 80.  Several movies in the top 10 dropped close to 70%, very harsh!  Awaiting Matrix4You's projections

[Weekend Thread | RTH pg 197...Mother's Day not kind to CW but very kind to JB and MD CW 42, JB 9,7, MDD 6.1,Hunts 1.48...puts CW at about 178M]

I'm wondering how big of an effect Cinqo de Mayo was this year.  It may have kept previews from maxing out in the South, at least.  Not sure if that would suppress the Friday gross at all, though.

[Weekend Thread | RTH pg 197...Mother's Day not kind to CW but very kind to JB and MD CW 42, JB 9,7, MDD 6.1,Hunts 1.48...puts CW at about 178M]

True true.  I always felt that doubling Winter Soldier was the ceiling, but I decided to push the ceiling with all the hype went with my highest predict of 200.  Truly happy with the movie's performance, though I felt that Winter Soldier is a better movie overall.  I'm starting to feel a little fatigue from too many characters jumbled up in one movie

[Captain, while a great many people see you as a hero, there are some who prefer the word Derby. | Week 19]

gah, why did I underpredict Mother's Day so much...why why why

90.5

Deadline has consistently been low with many holdovers like zoo, bs, bvs, boss

I didn't use my numbers, I did tweak deadlines a little though.

You were evenly high and low on them. You have a likely room for improvement overall when actual size come in higher for many titles.

Sweet, thx

so what's with the $0 predictions?  Did someone just save a blank prediction for everything?  That might be throwing off the averages

Even movies like Deadpool and Cloverfirled  should have lower multipliers due to Spring Break inflating Fri.

You're probably right, I will probably sink below 80% this week, damn Messiah
