JJ-8

2017 Game Thread has been moved back to the sub forum...... now that it's ended CONGRATULATIONS @grey ghost on a game well played and winning the 2017 game. Join up Join up to everyone else..... You can still join if desire now. yes we are quarter in.... but it's still doable! you just never know what will happen if you start! 2017 game for reference

now for the top 3...... 3rd : landed 5th on ROI, 4th on Best investor, 3rd biggest company value, 2nd highest revenue earner... so it comes down to 2 players, and not much separated them in many charts.... Simionski managed to only win the company value this year, placing 3rd in Best investor and 2nd in ROI Grey Ghost on the other hand managed to win the revenue and ROI awards, landed in 5th for best investor, 2nd in company value (just fell short) And the winner is .......

So it comes down to this... the Geekfreek award: The Overall winner and the Nominees are: @chasmmi @Exxdee JJ-8 (me) @grey ghost @Simionski the 5th place getter, managed 2nd on the best investor, 4th on ROI, 5th on the company Value, and finally 5th in revenue. I am talking about ... the 4th spot, won the best investor, had a shocker on ROI with 8th spot, 4th biggest company value and landed in 4th for revenue ... it's

still revealing ..... so then there was 2 :

ok... Revenue Award... Many players consider this to be the whole reason we play the game... but the geekfreek award is a bit more than just how much you earn! so here are the nominees for the Revenue Award : @Exxdee @chasmmi JJ-8 (me again ) @grey ghost @Simionski and here we go....

And a final summary of Q4, not much to say here but Thor dominated early and made a tidy return. Justice league lost their investors some money and finally the next star wars instalment while baffling made money back for those who invested. very tidy sums I should say. the most impressive result belonged to Jumanji which got past 400m on a 90m budget. and yes I know it's still making $ but the impact is minimal at this point.

That leaves us with 3 awards and yes it's getting close..... The next Award is the Weekend Award is quite simply the highest weekend gross of the year..... The nominees are : @Exxdee and @Simionski were nominated from Q1 no nominees from Q2 or Q3 with no qualifying weekends. From Q4 I got Nominated twice (JJ-8) and @grey ghost also got nominated three times and @chasmmi got a single nomination. And the winner is... and I'm afraid it was pretty much and dust too... in fact all 3 nominees from the same weekend were the top 3 results.... I'm talking about the star wars weekend.....

So a quick summary of Q3..... July did start very strongly, but then the remainder of the summer kinda dried up a bit with nothing else that massive. in fact the 2nd biggest weekend of the quarter was in September and it was a doosey. still nothing had matched the massive weekend earlier driven by BATB. July / August was Grey Ghosts time to shine with MCMkillswitch123 taking out September.

Right moving along, headlong into the next award called the Company Value Award. Very simply it's how much you have in the bank at the end of the game. No fuss, no mess, here are the nominees: @chasmmi @Exxdee JJ-8 (me) @grey ghost @Simionski And the winner is.... To avoid giving any cluses away as who might be leading revenue, i'm only announcing the winner but I should note, that the top 2 were only 6m apart.

Right, quick review of Q2 : Q2 saw some large weekends especially during May/June however not as big as the before mentioned BATB weekend which was a monster at nearly 650m. After leading the first 3 months of the year, simionski battle to just stay in the top 3. April would goto Grey Ghost, Chasmmi stole a weak by normal standards May, while I headed up June. By midyear we had 6 players already over 1B in revenue which is impressive.

Our next award is similar in many ways to the ROI award except it's all about how many $ you earnt for the % spent. Were you wise with the amount of % you spent. It's the Best Investor Award. the Nominees are (i'm not listing the investments this time as it's about the $ moreso against %. @chasmmi @Exxdee JJ-8 (Me) @Simionski and so the score is as follows: I came in 4th with a $ earnt per % spent of 1.38m

ROI Award The Return on Investment Award awards the player who got the highest overall Average % gain across their investments. To be eligble you must have invested in 7 movies as minimum. The nominees are: @Exxdee @grey ghost @MCKillswitch123 @Simionski and the results were as follows.... Exxdee averaged 168.05% across 21 releases

Q1 was a strong start to the year with investments in most films through January. The worst performers of the month were Underworld and Resident evil which I sadly had piece of both films. At the other end of the scale we had Split make 138m off a 9m budget which I also had a good piece of ... along with Simionski and MCkillswitch123. Throughout feb and march there was plenty of success with some failure in there. nothing like splits performance though which was a standout. Of course March did have Beauty and the beast and while it was a lot more expensive at 160m, it did make a lot still. The entire quarter was dominated by Simionski who won all 3 months very convincingly putting out in early lead. Here is out first award....

As always we the awards will be as follows: ROI (Return on Investment) Award Best Investor Award Company Value Award The Weekend Award Revenue or total gross for the year award Geekfreek Award with the geekfreek award being the ultimate winner of the game.

2017 wasn't the best year for the game but we had a total of 11 players wade into the game over the year with 7 of those players being active through much of the year. this years awards, given i'm time constrained will be a little bit shorter than previous years. Sadly the game is slightly in decline at the moment with only 3 active players... but anyway on with it!

Not real sure on Star Wars budget... with the reports that howard reshot most of the film and the budget doubled... making the budget possibly around 300m if that happens....
