well i guess we will all be in good company then.. anyway if we all lose then does it really matter ... it only affects if anyone sneaks in the bottom which i doubt at this point.

yeah i'm really liking my 150m odd for Peanuts right now. it might be low but not by much i'd say... as for spectre.. everyone is essentially in the same boat.. we are all losing out .. well maybe Filmovie has a slim chance of being int he safe zone... but 's pretty slim already i think.

damn so close on The Peanuts Movie (and yeah i think it will make the top 7 too )

i'm wondering the same thing myself instead it opens the weekend before mj2 meaning it's legs may well be savaged by mj2's opening... nothing is locked given mj1 didn't break the bank.... actually given skyfall's performance here (49m), i might have thought we got a day and date opening with the UK. Skyfall did manage a 12.3m OW facing off against the breaking dawn 2 2nd weekend, but bd2 got shredded for 64% in it's second weekend. but then it had very little competition until boxing day (in fact i think it stay #1 until then) when the hobbit 1 dominated proceedings. before the US opening, I had this opening > 13m, but i'm not so sure anymore. I now thinking around 10.5m seems right for this. Watch for a more typical drop of over 55% too. i'm not expecting a drop close to skyfalls fantastic 37%. The drop frankly could even be worse if mj2 does indeed explode more than expected.

A little underwhelming for Spectre. I still think it's a fine result for a bond film if you ignore Skyfall for a second. I still 200m+ is still on the cards for it. Peanuts has opened right in line with what i thought. a final total between 150m and 200m seems about right. outside shot of 200m+ but all depends on how well good dino performs. The Martian and bridge of spies impressing me more with their holds... than the openers. Openers - good result holdovers (key ones at least) - excellent!

Uh oh, one of our previous winners has returned........ Lol. Thought it was time I revived this game. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok example: Krumpus comes available at 1 month before opening. 14m budget is set in the game. You invest 50% which is 7m. So if u had 100m in the bank after investing u have 93m. The movie opens (assume u invested in nothing else for this example). Once actuals are in krumpus has an OW of 30.4m. There u earn 50% of this. Ie. 15.2m is added your bank account. This will happen on a weekly basis after actuals are in. Your bank account is now 108.2m. Eg. After weekend 2 krumpus total is up to 46.8m. So a further 16.4m was made and u earn 8.2m. BAnk account is now 116.4m. On it goes until krumpus closes. The game win is based mostly on total earnings and not bank account but your final score takes into account your total spend to stop someone just running away with the game. I'll keep the bank accounts, total earnings, total spent, updated on a weekly basis after actuals are in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just remember, that u do need invest in the smaller films to build up funds so you can afford those big budget blockbusters........ KFP 3 is the first really big one.. I'd imagine there will be rush the normal contenders in BVS, Civil War etc... ;)

Plus it's still a week till Spectre opens here and Mockingjay opens just the week after. Skyfall had 5 clear weeks until the The Hobbit and Les Mis opened over Christmas. That could restrict spectre even further. I've no idea why Sony thought it a good idea to delay it so much. Skyfall opened day and date with the UK. Spectre for some reason opens a week later than the U.S. While this won't stop a big opening, it could hinder the longer term prospects. Could drop to say 35m AUD. which is down to 25m Usd. Of course the opposite could happen but I think mj2 will do more here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Spectre won't be touching the Australian total in USD. the current exchange rate won't let it get near that figure even if it somehow matches it in AUD, the USD figure will be well short.... (in case you were wondering for the USD to matched, it would need to make in excess of 65m AUD which would be the australian markets all time 2nd biggest film ever... yeah not happening. more realistically i'm expecting around 40m to 45m in AUD which is just over 30m USD. Still a great result but certainly not at the same levels the Skyfall got. mostly due exchange rates.

Weekly Scores Update as of 2nd November 2015 Week 3 now added. Top 3 hasn't changed from last week. the biggest mover was avi who bumped from 22nd to 16th. The Background Character also moved up significantly to within a whisker of the lead (only 4k now seperates 1st to 4th).

i'm obviously signing up :)

Patiently waiting for Chas to tally it all up

Pretty much everyone went low on SW though (compared to what I suspect it will actually do). Besides me I think there's only a couple other that went over Avatar. I know I even saw a few sub 500 ones. I'm in the out there crew with well over 800m My fav predict opens around 205m and finishes barely over 400m or something. Summer maybe but Christmas legs???

The Martian is powering on. 25- 28m finish is the dressmaker a surprise. It blindsided me?
