HeyItsMoses

How did I go from 376k to 368k in posts #705 and #706?Why the 8k point loss? If that's incorrect, then shouldn't my standings after preseason 2 be 371k instead of 363k?If you can recheck my scores, that'll be great.Thanks in advance.

I say start a poll and have all players vote on this week. It'll be a one time thing.

I agree with Cedar.The weekly questions should stay, since you asked us 40+ questions to answer.The SOTM should be cancelled, since it was just 5 questions, and didn't take as much time to answer then compared to the weekly question.

Well, you can't think that the shootings affected TDKR by over $40m dollars, or even over $30m. Like I said, if people stay away, it will most likely be for just this weekend, maybe a week at most. So if we don't see a 2nd weekend well OVER $75m, then it can't entirely be the shooting, but the film itself as well.

Thank God I'm not the only person that's gonna lose 20k points, lol.

If this shooting truly had an effect, and it's the reason as to why no one is seeing TDKR over the weekend. Then it should have some Amazing dailies, and it's 2nd weekend should be over $85m if not more. If it doesn't, then we will all know that the shooting had no effect. It's not like the fuckin movie is going to be jinxed and that no one is ever gonna go and watch it.

Ok, TDKs OW and Run wasn't just based on Ledgers death, but the villain was much more popular than bane. TDKR, no death, no popular villain, no 3d, no records. Yeah it's the finale, but to think it was going to pull off numbers anywhere remotely close to The Avengers is just a fuckin joke. I think my $444m prediction for BSG is pretty spot on at this point. Don't see it passing $475m.

Estimated $30.6m midnights, and $72.2m od.The shooting didn't effect the movie, TDK was just huge because of Ledgers death. Fanboys rushed to this, and the general public is interested, but not as much as TDK. Under $50m Saturday, and under $40m Sunday. Weekend will be less then HP7.2. Who would've thunk?

I just hope some moron doesn't post a "The Dark Knight Rises: What Went Wrong?" thread, just because it didn't pass $200m, or cause it made less than $10m more than The Dark Knight adjusted, or even worse, because of the shootings.. TDKR was never gonna break records, it never had a chance.

Shouldn't we wait for BOM to post their numbers to be final? I really hope it drops. I'm not asking for much, just $640,000 less on midnight, that's all.

Where can we find our original predictions for the Top 12?

SOTM9 1) Will TDKR make more than 30 mill at midnight? NO 2) Will TDKR make more than 74 mill OD? YES 3) Will TDKR make more than 81 mill OD? YES 4) Will TDKR make more than DH2 OW? YES 5) Will TDKR make more than 190.5 mill OW? NO No Guts, No Glory ^I really hope that midnight number drops. A part of me even wanted to go back and abstain from it, but it was too late, lol. I think it'll be complete bullshit if I get questions 2-5 correct, and I miss question one by HALF A MILLION! So fuckin lame.

That's just some fucked up news right there. What kind of a moron would walk into a theater and start shooting up the place?I wonder if this will cause movie theaters to start putting metal detectors in the entrances, and maybe even have security present during all big event movies?Anyway, is there a possibility that the midnight number estimate drops? I'm really hoping that it's overestimated, and the actual number is below $30m or I AM FUCKED.

What page were the numbers announced, and what's with this Colorado Shooting that I'm hearing about?

If that midnight number for TDKR doesn't drop below $30m, I AM FUCKED for BSG SOTM.

I just don't get what the fuck happened to Ice Age. Most people were expecting a big opening and good legs, but this one is just trailing behind the predecessors.

Thanks Baumer

^by the way Baumer, in one of these threads, you asked me about my Individual question or something. Can I get both my Individual and Make Up question at once? I'll take both in the form that will give me the most points (I think you asked wether I wanted the Individual to be a SOTM type or a Weekly type, and whichever gives me the most points, I'll take that).

So, this is how my Top 11 is looking like.. 1. Dark Knight Rises: 2. Avengers: $429.8 ($614.26) -$184.46 3. Spider-Man: $307.7 ($214.31) -$93.39 4. Brave: $258.5 ($201.21) -$57.29 5. Prometheus: $214.4 ($124.70) -$89.70 6. Ice Age: $188.2 ($63.80) -$124.4 7. Snow White: $184.9 ($152.04) -$32.86 8. Madagascar: $156.9 ($205.72) -$48.82 9. Men in Black: $154.2 ($175.12) -$20.92 10. Battleship: $144.4 ($64.83) -$79.57 Prediction 1. 2. -11,000 3. -7,000 4. -5,000 5. -7,000 6. -9,000 7. 0 8. -5,000 9. +5,000 10. -6,000 Total: -45,000 Correct 1. Dark Knight: +15,000 2. Avengers: +15,000 3. Spider-man: (Spot) 4. Brave: (Spot) 5. Prometheus: +15,000 6. Snow White: (Spot) 7. Madagascar: +15,000 8. Men in Black: +15,000 9. Battleship: +15,000 Total: +90,000 Spot 1. Incorrect 2. Incorrect 3. Correct: Spider-Man: +25,000 4. Correct: Brave: +25,000 5. Incorrect 6. Incorrect 7. Correct: Snow White: +25,000 8. Incorrect 9. Incorrect 10. Incorrect Total: +75,000 So far, when it comes to the Predictions, calling the Top 11 correctly, and the correct spot, I get an extra: +120,000 Obviously, this will change, as we get closer, and I'll probably update it again in about 3 weeks. And I'm still due for an Individual and Make Up question.

Brave is at $201.2m! My $258.5m prediction looks really good. I think this is the only film that I will get some serious points on, while the rest is just...

Hold the fuck up, you changed your answers? :angry:Well, if you were honest about it, great, no big deal. I think instead of taking 20k points off, you should take the points off from the questions you changed instead. Who knows, it might've just been like a 10k difference. I want to win fair and square, not with a 20k handicap.

Lucky Number 7 Baby.

I missed 2 weekly questions, 1 SOTM question...I scored 15k for the points for Bonus #8, and I was also 1 of 2 people to score 15k points, while everyone else lost 20k points (i think).And, I still haven't gotten my individuals, nor a makeup question...I think I'm doing pretty good. Chewy, wtf were you thinking with the bonus question man? lol.

Well, unless you think Joe is going to gross over $400m next year, I think it's safe to say that I won. ;)I'll think of a good Signature and will post it here sometime next week.
