JJ-8

The Hunger Games Showdown Like bonds above, this is pretty much final. Mockingjay Part 2 should pass 30m at this point unless it's completely ripped out of cinemas today! Unlike bond, I have to say i'm disappointed as I expected to see an uptick but then i guess like many, i didn't see so much attention being soaked up by the behemith that is Star Wars. (Frankly I think that both this and Bond would have made at least a few more million without TFA in the picture.) Oh well 30m isn't anything to sneeze at and still a good result and overall while it's the lowest grossing it's not miles from the other 3 films in the franchise who all ended in the 30m range. not a bad strikerate in the end.

James Bond Showdown Final Version of the Chart. As noted, Spectre will up short of 36m. Which is the 2nd biggest Bond here. It also compares well to the other 2 Daniel Craig bond films. Of course the comparison falls away when looking at Skyfall but that film had a perfect storm for it's final total which is hard to replicate. Either way great result.... here's the chart.

ok some reasonable results there.... Spectre will end just under 36m and is the 2nd biggest bond here behind only Skyfall (though it was a fairly large drop off from that film). To be honest this should have been expected as Skyfall had a perfect storm to make it's nearly 49m gross 3 years ago. Mockingjay Part 2 will finally cross 30m this weekend (or least by tuesday at the latest) but it end as the lowest / weakest of the Hunger Games films. I still believe this was a step up from Mockinjay Part 1 and probably deserved more but i guess either way it's a good result as while this was the lowest grossing of the 4 films it was only just under the first films gross here. still disappointing and i had really hoped it would actually outgross MJ1 here. Catching Fire remains the largest of the 4 films with just under 40m. Star Wars The Force Awakens is finally coming back to earth with some normal grosses. over 86m now and should have 1 final weekend before a big drop off as the school holidays end after this weekend around the country (well in most states). It should at or near to 88m after this weekend is all said and done. 90m should happen at this point but i'm not seeing 95m anymore and i am expecting the final total to wind up around 91m to 92m. (see the comparison chart i'll post below as to why) The Dressmaker is still trying to reach the elusive 20m total here. unless it can avoid the post holiday drop off i think it's total will wind up just short of the mark. Still a great result and it doesn't really matter... but yeah. Alvin and the chipmunks has seen some drop off from the previous film but this was expected. frankly > 10m is a great result for this here.. Same can't be said for the Good Dinosaur though. I think Disney would have been expecting a total much much closer to 20m or even past it by now. 13m in the till now and while it should reach 15m when all is said and done i doubt it goes much further than this total (it could still miss 15m if the drop off is steeper than expected after this weekend or this weekend isn't as a good a hold either). Daddy's Home looks to be big winner banking what looks like a final total above 20m. (it could even reach the mark this weekend) I thought at most a 10m total here for it but it has surprised with a excellent run both here and stateside. Oscar bait The Revenant has started off well with over 10m in the bank after 2 weeks an a great hold already under the pillow. I think a total north of 20m is likely right now especially if it wins big at the oscars. Watch this space. Lastly, Hateful 8's crazy start in limited fashion is something we don't often see in Australia. thats a fantastic average right now, but will it translate to bigger totals when it finally goes wide (which i think is this weekend). I'm not so sure that it will, but we shall see. The coming weekend will be an interesting one how it plays out. Usually we have a 3 day long weekend (with the holiday on monday) but this year, we have a normal weekend with a public holiday on the tuesday rather than the monday. How this helps or hinders box office goers i'm not sure as many are taking the monday off work (whether by annual leave or sickness ) essentially making much of the country on a 4 day weekend which could well, even with school starting in most places wednesday, see a interesting boost to the box office over the next few days till tuesday. some showdows will follow .... for Bond & MJ2 + of course TFA

Another day, another SOTM (and hopefully one that more than 2 people will play ) Below will be 12 questions. You MUST answer all 12. 1. What will Kung Fu Panda's OW be? 37m 2. What will Revenant's total be by the end of the game? 155m 3. What will Star Wars' February gross be (till end of game of course)? 15m 4. What will Norm of the North's 2nd weekend drop be? 3m 5.

Deadline is Thursday 21st January 11:59pm, no abstaining, not answering in this thread loses 5000 points. And also, your final total will be rounded UP to the nearest 1000 points in order to not make the final scores look ugly.

You must predict to 1 decimal place, no more, no less! 4.6, 11.9, 1.4 - these are eligible numbers to predict. Scoring is as follows: correct to within 0.2 higher or lower: 10,000 points correct to within 0.21 - 0.5 higher or lower: 5000 points correct to within 0.51 - 0.8 higher or lower: lose 1000 points correct to within 0.81 - 1.0 higher or lower: lose 4000 points correct to within 1.01 or more, higher or lower: lose 8000 points Potential bonuses losses if you predict more than 1 film: If all of the films you choose to predict score positive points: 5000 bonus points per film predicted.

I think if you knock the potential gains/losses down by something close to a factor of 10, it'll be a worthwhile and challenging SOTM for the future. Maybe make it a preseason question. Then the points make more sense. ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Even with my crazy 871m prediction for star wars i'm still going to lose $ pretty sure it will get past 911m at this point.....

FYI After next weekend (after the 31st Jan) - i will be moving this thread back into the sub forum in the games section and out of the box office forum. (I will keep my signature updated with the latest information as always... )

Week 2: Simionski rides the box office to the top..... The 2nd weekend in the 2016 game saw 2 new entries into the weekend chart with Simionski jumping straight to the top spot with 43m thanks to investments in both Ride Along 2 and 13 Hours. Grey Ghost debuted in 2nd with 25.7m also thanks to before mentioned films. Bournefan#1 bumped up into 3rd spot with well chosen investments. Ethan Hunt also slipped up into 4th with lucasbenica rounding out the top 5. Last weekends top 2 (JJ-8 & Chasmmi) dropped down to equal 7th with no new investments this weekend. While those who invested in the forest fared ok for the type of film and especially given all grosses taken now will be profits (it's already made it's budget back) , it must be noted that those who put their money into the Masked Saint will now be regretting it with the film all but wiped from the chart this week (it dropped over 98% as per megaboxoffice's collapse in last place) Next weekend could be interesting with investments in all 3 new releases and both the boy and dirty grandpa fully booked out while of course ride along 2 and 13 hours will continue to play well. Can Simionski hold onto the top spot or will he be pipped at the post so to speak... anyway, here is this weekends chart (note i won't be releasing a 4 day chart but those $ for monday are already included in your bank accounts as it's based upon the last update on BOM.... All monthly threads & bank account thread in the sub forum are updated with the latest also.. All taking as per BOM.

Nice start by goosebumps. 5th wave stronger than expected. A good result especially if it translates stateside. Stunning hold by the Revenant. TFA's hold isn't too shabby either given how much it's earnt already. ok so TFA should be clear of 85m. One more good hold left before the holidays supporting it finish up. Should go close to clearing 90m before holidays end. I think it will finish with about 95m or so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah. I'd say we are looking at around 3.5m for goosebumps and over 2m for the 5th wave. If that holds its the equivalent of 20m in the U.S. which would be a great result if it happens. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think i can help out here... sure that Chasmmi will confirm if he feels the need.... in regards to Q4... i think he means $ drop not Percentage drop..... hence the question is A O K with me.... at least i believe that is the intention here. As for Q11.... yeah he means 15th place in the game... what will be it's gross. it has nothing to do with the year ... think in the context of the game and you will be fine. oh and @chasmmi fantastic SOTM ! love it!

yeah i know that the numbers get it wrong at times..... but i add the following link... they've gone with 5m budget in their January Preview... http://www.the-numbers.com/news/210690830-2016-Preview-January however in regards to budgets i've found their budgets to not too far from the mark most of the time - especially in their monthly previews. i'm leaving it at 5m unless BOM puts up a budget...... of course i could be way off too... given how previous film of this type only cost around that 5m mark.. i am tending to believe the 5m estimate here.

yah .. won my first week... Takes a look who's next on the target list... realizes it's the #1 seed in the tournament then also realizes he actually beat said #1 seed last week...................

Week 1 : Welcome to the Forest..... After a long hiatus, the Fantasy Box Office is finally back in action. This years game already is a big hit with a lot of investments being made even before the game officially kicked off. This week saw the release of The Forest and the Masked Saint (it was listed as wide but ended up being more limited than expected). A total of 11 investors had put money on the line in the first week of the 2016 game. Those who backed The Forest got a good result already making the budget back over the opening weekend. Those who put money in the Masked Saint look like that they lost more than 90% of their budget when all is said and done. Jajang and Chasmmi led the way equally on the first weekend with a small but good start of 3.8m with a solo investment in the Forest. Wrath came in 3rd with 3.2m just pipping Jayhawk by 20k. WrathofHan, Ethan Hunt, BourneFan#1 and Thatoneguy all rounded out the top 5 as they were all equal in 5th place.
