Filmovie

After this Saturday it's hard to image Annabelle under 75 mln total. So we have already an answer: Will any film listed as a horror gross more than 75M by the end of the game? YES Damn, I changed it at last moment and I put "NO" For this we will have to wait but right now the answer to this question looks more "YES" than "NO" 6. Will any film released in October make more than 120M by the end of the game?

Ok, thanks, I am sorry. I will write in Italian for a moment: Pensavo fossi mr.fred perchè anche lui viene dalla Toscana e segue il boxoffice, ho fatto qualche errata deduzione. Scusami. Yesterday it was a close race between Sex Tape and TFIOS: ST: € 335.853, Admissions 46.522 TFIOS:€ 326.679, Admissions 46.341 Then We have The Wind Rises (.25k), The Giver (.21k) and Exp3 (.19K).

That's not a great achievement. I don't think it will pass Wall-E. I am curious to see the results of Penguins of Madagascar this november. Madagascar is very strong in Italy.

yes, of course. I didn't ask you to remove those categories. It's ok right now. I am happy it's challenging

WW stuff will be tough. So many wildcards. Release dates are so split in some cases. I am not complaining, it's only challenging

Is Hobbit Final Installment considered in the Hobbit's Franchise or in the Middle Earth's one?

"Winter is coming"Fuck yeah

In 2011 I ran a Boxoffice game on an italian Forum. A very simple one: every week you had to predict OW and Total of the movies that were opening in Italy. After 3 months I noticed there wasn't any considerable difference between predictions of all players because nowone wanted to take a risk. So I created an another username (named BOXOCALCU) and all players (me included) had to send it a PM with predictions. I had to send mine also to a casual player and I wasn't allowed (by the rules of the game) to sign in with this username before the deadline was passed. That worked really well!

I am

Well, oh my God. I really can't believe I won. I have to say 2 things: [*]On one Hand I didn't deserve to win. I won only because of those thousands of points from the best 5 WW WE. That category worth too many, in my humble opinion. [*]On the other Hand I didn't steal anything to anyone. Only 36.000 of my points came from the Weekly Games and the SOTMS (I couldn't play because for most of time I hadn't my internet connection. Yes, nowadays, internet is everywhere so you think it's unbelievable but it's true) So basically I won simply with all my preseason answers and I am pretty proud of it. Thanks to everyone as always (especially to the people who allowed us to play and made the scorings) Oh, and hey Baumer, I'm Filmovie (you know what I mean )

Preseason scoring Left are the top 15, top 10 ww, top 7 ow and top 5 we ww, am I right?Congratulations to the winner and thanks to the People who allowed us to play and made the scorings ( baumer, laguy, jajang and the others whose name I dont remember)

Question 18 hasn't been scored yet, right?
