JW will win if it plays out like last weekend. Last weekend JW was .35m behind IO on Friday but won the weekend by over 2m. This Friday JW is .7m behind IO, which means it should still be a solid 1m ahead for the weekend if JW's holds are similar in comparison to IO last weekend.

IO and JW are just bulldozing over everything these last few weeks.

Well then, my hands are tied. I mean I can't very well go around making fun of non-white people now can I?

That's how white trash is born.

Because I'm bored, I'm going to try to break down how many more movies could do it this year: Locks: Spy Minions Mission Impossible Spectre Mockingjay The Good Dinosaur Star Wars 7 Near locks: Pixels Ant Man The Hateful Eight 3 Contenders: Ted 2 Terminator Magic Mike Fantastic Four Vacation Trainwreck The Scorch Trials Hotel Transylvania 2 Everest Pan The Walk Steve Jobs In the Heart of the Sea Peanuts Joy 15 Long shots: Paper Towns The Man From UNCLE Masterminds The Martian The Intern Bridge of Spies Jem and the Holograms The Last Witch Hunter Xmas Creed Sisters Alvin and the Chipmunks 4 The Revenant Snowden 14 So I'd say 39 movies still have 100m potential. Not counting if we have the little indie/Oscar movie(s) breakout. We should definitely get the record this year.

Maybe they were wanting to avoid lawsuits from Phil Collins and Sega.

I wonder when the top 2 have last remained static for 3 weekends in a row in the summer?

IO and JW are absolutely taking the top two again this weekend. I just hope JW can manage to fourpeat. IO needs to hit 300 without ever going #1.

The first opened to twice as much. Granted that was a Friday not a Wednesday, but I still expected a solid 15m OD for it today. Unless it is going to not drop off after OD like the first did.

That's a bad OD for both quite honestly. MM could really be in trouble if it acts as frontloaded as the first.

That JW Wednesday number is unacceptable. I do not allow it.

I honestly believe the $1b DOM grosser is happening this decade.

I don't see how Ant Man does near 300 when Minions is near locked for that and MI5 is probably doing around 250. We've already had a huge summer, it can only support so many huge hits. I think Ant Man is headed to be one of the casualties this year, ala Ted.

I need it to be within 2% of an 18% drop today for BSG purposes.

Looks to me like it will be something like: IO: 33m JW: 31m MM: 26m (going to be very OD frontloaded) TG: 26m

Please oh please let JW make no more than 6.2m today!

It looks like fans are liking it more than TS. I don't know that that says a whole lot though...

Yeah, I never understood why anyone was expecting a big opening for TG. You don't get that luxury coming off a film like TS. It was always going to have to be a WOM movie. And that looks doubtful now. Audiences and critics don't always see eye to eye, but there's rarely that huge of a discrepancy between them that the GA would love a movie holding a 20 something percent on RT.

Nah, that one's just dull and cliche more than bad.

Well Bay himself has now called TF2 "crap." It is officially indefensible. His response to that last question is pretty awesome.

Judging from that teaser trailer, I would think he's have to be referring to Dory.

The "battle royale of eyeballs and bottoms" is upon is.

I feel like Everest could be that "anonymous" breakout. Maybe not 300 big, but 250 perhaps. Blockbuster-esque movie to fill that fall void, cast is great, and Beaufoy's got an excellent screenwriting track record.

All questions pertain to the three day weekend unless otherwise specified. 1) Will Terminator be number one? NO 2) Will Magic Mike be number two? NO 3) Will Jurassic World drop more than 45%? NO 4) Will IO have a Saturday decrease of more than 32.7% on Saturday? YES 5) Will Terminator or MM fall more than 20% on Thursday? YES 6) Will any film in the top 10, playing in more than 999 theaters, have a Friday increase of more than 75%? YES 7) Will Spy increase more than 22.2% on Thursday? YES 8) Will IO and JW both make more than Terminator? YES 9) Will San Andreas fall less % wise than Spy? NO 10) Will Ted fall more than 49%? YES 11) Will Max make more than 7 million? YES 12) Will JW be over 1.375 billion by Sunday estimates, according to RENTRAK YES 10/12 5000 11/12 7000 12/12 9000 I think the questions are kind of tough this week. What films finish in spots: 1 Jurassic World 2 Inside Out 3 Magic Mike 4 Terminator 5 Ted 9 Dope 2000 each, get all 6 right bonus of 7000 Bonus 1: What will T5's total be for Wed and Thurs? 15.705 Bonus 2: What will JW's total be after Thursday? 527.935 Bonus 3: What will Ted's total be after Sunday? 5000 Good luck! Individuals: Will Terminator have a Friday increase of more than 51%? NO Will JW have a Friday increase of more than 60%? NO Will Spy have a Sunday increase of more than 25%?

1) Choose what film JW will pass by the end of its run domestically. Avengers 2) What will JWs final gross be? Must be within 2% $661m 3) Choose any Tuesday or Wednesday in the month of July and tell me what the increase or decrease for said day will be. You have 2% error room. July 1: -18% 4) What will Jurassic World gross for the three day weekend of July 3-5? Error room of 5% $32,550,000 5) How much more will JW finish with WW? ERROR room of 7% ABSTAIN
