Everyone keeps saying this film is the end... Did anyone think that IW was the end of the mcu as we know it and this becomes the new beginning for the next phase of the mcu ?

Guys lets keep it civil in here. The mods are watching. You have been warned.

FYI :- N/A = Did not answer, Cashout with a loss of 20% on current streak. C/O = Cashout current streak. Answer Score is the tier you are on... most still on 20,000 per question as noted.

ok so that means the weekly scores can be updated for QOTW. I've already added the week 3 answers however no scores are done yet as we don't have an actual... it's gonna be all right or all wrong Not surprisingly we still have 24 players on a perfect score so far. Question of Week Scoring Cashout current streak when Incorrect (50% loss), no answer (20% loss), Cashout (0% loss) No Color = original scoring (20k per correct answer) Orange = 1st Rentry (15k per correct answer) Blue = 2nd Reentry (10k per correct answer) Green = 3rd Reentry (7k per correct answer) Purple = 4th Reentry (5k per correct answer) Red = 5th Reentry (or subsequent) (3k per correct answer) Current Streak # Player Total Score Answer Score #Correct Running Score Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Actuals YES YES 1 24Lost 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 2 aabattery 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 3 baumer 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 4 bcf26 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 5 Chasmmi 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 6 Chewy 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 7 Empire 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 8 Fancyarcher 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 9 George (Premium George) 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 10 glassfairy 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 11 Infernus 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 12 Jake Gittes 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 13 JJ-8 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 14 Kalo 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 15 kayumanggi 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 16 MovieMan89 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 17 Sheikh 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 18 Simionski 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 19 Slambros 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 20 That one guy 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 21 Wrath 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 22 WrathofHan 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 23 ZeeSoh 40,000 20,000 2 40000 YES YES NO 24 AndyLL 16,000 10,000 0 0 YES N/A N/A 25 captainwondyful 16,000 10,000 0 0 YES N/A N/A 26 druv10 16,000 10,000 0 0 YES N/A N/A 27 grey ghost 16,000 10,000 0 0 YES N/A N/A 28 Mike Hunt 16,000 10,000 0 0 YES N/A N/A 29 Panda (Critically Acclaimed Panda) 16,000 10,000 0 0 YES N/A N/A 30 SchumacherFTW 16,000 10,000 0 0 YES N/A N/A 31 Spaghetti (Isle of Pasta) 16,000 10,000 0 0 YES N/A N/A 32 Telemachos 16,000 10,000 0 0 YES N/A N/A 33 Tree 16,000 10,000 0 0 YES N/A N/A 34 Deja23 15,000 15,000 1 15000 N/A YES NO 35 Alfred (The Dark Alfred) 0 10,000 0 0 N/A N/A NO 36 Cmasterclay 0 7,000 0 0 N/A N/A N/A 37 MrWhite 0 7,000 0 0 N/A N/A N/A

Tracking well... I think I was a bit optimistic on last weekends hold but looking at where we are at, I think 70m is doable... not locked... but a total 60m is all but locked at this point. bar a complete collapse that is.

WIll post the the first update tonight my time

I think we are due to for a showdown... It's hard to compare to the Star Wars films due to the time of year, but against the avengers it's a healthy 54% at the same point. to be honest, it's not far off the pace of the force awakens right now (only 3m behind after 7 day (yeah vs 8 but the it's the same point) - it's the weekdays where TFA has the advantage due to Christmas.) At this point I do think that IW it's passing TLJ making 60m seem well within reach. of course this could all change when IW drops like > 60% (not happening... I'm a believer!)

True winner of BOTM 1 for Avengers...... go figure a mod would actually get the closest

TFA was the normal 4 day while IW has a 5th day which is a holiday too. Easily over 30m 5 day in AUD. Impressive. Gotta think 60m is on the cards at this point. Hell 70m doesn’t seem a stretch.

ok I thought high 70's at most but 82m.... just wow. so in the summer game I put down 263m / 730m not unhappy with this now. as for the derby... 256m is looing pretty sweet right now

What is current sat record?

If my calculations are right we are inside 3 hours to go and I've decided not to edit my preseason - leaving the good the bad and the ugly.... and i'm sure I've got all 3 down pat ! ... just hoping more good than anything else

woah... that OD is insane.... no mids and many cinemas not open to 1pm... and it still gets to 8.7m if the around 5m Thursday holds, we are on track for a record breaking start here.... Probably not the #1 OW though ... can't see it reach TFA's monster.... (especially since it's OD isn't included technically) but still a monster... I'd say 25m - 30m 5 day in store now ?
