Everyone here has been accepted at 100%. however there is 6 investors & total above is > 300% so each investor will get 300 / 6 = 50% each. There is nothing to auction however, as it adds up to 300% exactly so everyone here gets 50% of GOTG Vol.2

I would have though forking out those bucks for Pirates would be the big ticket item this summer.... come on a movie that clears 300m for the budget must be something special right ?

is everyone ready to say ouch The Fate of the Furious budget = 250m (per BOM) For the game - due to the large increase the game budget = 238m Other budget updates ~ Ghost in the Shell = 110m ~ 75% or 82.5m The Case for Christ = 3m Going in Style = 25m Smurfs = 60m ~50% or 30m Free Fire = 10m (the wrap) The Promise = 100m (Variety)

Everyone should be afraid .... very afraid..... Welcome back to our 2 time winner (2008 & 2009 game) of the FBO - Alfred!

hahah... nope... not available till 25th April

Sorry guys... been MIA for the past week pretty much.. had some personal issues to work though.... RIGHT back onto the game at hand.... We have for "Guardian's of the Galaxy Vol. 2 I will get back to everyone in a moment on the GOTG investments.... and what you get Snatched is all gone too

Going to interesting few weeks at the box office. Firstly we have fate of the furious this Wednesday. 11 days later GOTG 2 joins the party. Yes it's a Monday (afternoon) release on the 24th April. Very interested how it's first weekend will look given it's got 3 day head start. Something unheard here (outside of Christmas) id imagine Anzac Day will be big.

yep... i must say i enjoyed the other day too... my eldest daughter loved it too... then again she is an Emma Watson fan... so lol interestingly, BATB is only 2m off the pace of the avengers and BATB has Easter to give it a good boost. for comparison: The Avengers vs BATB OW : 13m/19m vs 13.1m/14.8m WE2 : 8.2m/31.3m vs 7.7m/29.3m WE3 : 5.2m/39m ... 53.3m vs 29.3m I think BATB should land in the 47m to 51m range.

Well well well. Talk an epic stage left exit. Well Toons best of luck. Was fun while it lasted. Keep the epic cannonballs going @CoolEric258 party hard .. @That One Guy Nothing like a few broken bones hey! weeeeeeeee Yo @Spaghetti of 1000 Planets What was my % in the flash fight (can't be bothered calculating)

GOTG 2 - 100%

Exactly how I planned it.

Alright here they are : JAJANG'S 15 er i mean JJ-8's 14 Questions Comic Book Adaption Questions : Notes : - Q1 is worth double the other questions as it's little more complicated than the other questions so I have reduced the number to 14 questions overall. Q1) There are 4 Comic Book Adaptions to be released this summer. They are: - Guardian's of the Galaxy Vol. 2 - Wonder Woman - Spider-man: Homecoming - Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets Create a table of positions 1 to 8, where you order in total gross the domestic and then international totals. I only need the positions. an example table is as follows : (Remember International excludes Domestic gross) 1. Spider-man: Homecoming Domestic 2. Wonder Woman International 3. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets Domestic 4. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 International 5. Woman Woman Domestic 6. Guardian's of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Domestic 7. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets International 8. Spider-man: Homecoming International Scoring is as follows. 5000 for each correct answer. (total of 40k if you get all 8) -3000 for each incorrect answer. (total of -24k if you get all 8 incorrect) If you choose to abstain this question (and you must astain all of it), you get 8,000. If you leave a spot blank you get that spot as an incorrect answer. If put 1 of the options twice you will receive at lease one of those incorrect. (for the bonus at the bottom, if you get 4 / 8 you get 1, if you get all 8 correct you get 2 towards the bonus (ie. the total is still 30 quesitons)) Q2) Will Wonder Woman be the #1 opening weekend of the comic book adaptions this summer (Domestically)? Q3) The current top 6 "All Time May Open Weekends" (Domestically) occurred on the 1st weekend of the month (in the respective year). In what position will Guardian's of the Galaxy Vol. 2 open in (in the top 6)? (If you don't think it will open in the top 6 then put 7th - remember 6th is Iron Man 2 @ 128m)? Q4) Will Wonder Woman collapse in it's second weekend with a greater than 60% drop like the 2 previous DC Extended Universe Films (Domestic)? Q5) Will the total of all the Marvel films make more than double the DC films this summer (Domestic only)? Q6) Will Valerian's final total (domestic gross) be less than all of the opening weekends of the other 3 films (Domestic)? Q7) Will the total gross of ALL Comic Book adaptions this summer make less than 850m (Domestic)? Q8) Will any of the Comic Book Adaptions make 200m or more internationally than the domestic gross?

Q10) Will a Comic Book Adaption be the #1 film overall (and it must be released during the game) in ANY of the following markets - United Kingdom, Australia, or China (only 1 is needed) ? Animated Film Questions : These 2 questions will relate to the 6 animated films that are to be released during the summer (these questions will not be affected if any films are delayed or deferred) Q11) Will at least 3 weekends during the summer be led by an animated film (Domestic only)? Q12) Will less than 4 animated films make the top 15 films this summer domestically? A single question for those Transformers & Pirates Fans out there: Q13) Both Franchises are up to the 5th Film. the 4th film in both Franchises made more than 1 billion worldwide. Can the 5th film in both franchises repeat this performance? Final General Question Q14) Will a film released domestically make more in an International Market (must be a single market such as China, United Kindom, etc) this summer (Both markets must release during the game and be elegible for the top 15 domestic - ie. as per the list of films Chasmmi has posted) ?

Let's face facts, @Telerian has many personalities and the entire mod team are just his different faces depending on his mood..... we're all just telebots

so 400m more reasonable ?

hey before the winter i probably would have liked that prediction for Monster Trucks given i had doing a crapload more than it did

Folks.... just reviewing my questions - yes they are finally done... Be forwarned as per the post at the start of this thread... there is additional questions to answer they are coming... once checked they will be posted in here and first post (and answer thread will be updated)

oh and the first summer month budgets are up! and that last budget for may is a shocker...... WTF were they thinking... Even at 50% it's no slam dunk either! lol

@Simionski has retaken the top spot from @Exxdee with a reversal of fortunes pipping exxdee by 1.3m. the remainder of the top 5 remained as is from last thanks mostly to the BATB. This coming weekend should interesting but i'd it appears likely Simionski will continue his domination here.
