But what about November and December?

But what about November and December?

 

Looking at the calendar I guess that wouldn't be a bad idea.

Summer and holiday season are interesting.

I'm joining

I'm betting 100 that Pacific Rim has a multiplier ≥ 3

I'm also betting 75 that The Conjuring OW > The Purge OW

Any takers?

[baumer]

I bet that this July will be bigger than last July in dollars (100) (Not sure if this will be a allowed since we're halfway through)I bet 2 Guns will make more than Safe House (100)I bet Elysium will open to more than 45m (100)

 

I'll take the 2 Guns bet.

Both of those seem fairly easy to happen.  A 3 multiplier for a non sequel in the summer is quite common and Conjuring is buzzing massively right now.

So no takers? 

[baumer]

I'm not taking any of those, but others might.

Ok I'm willing to bet 50 points that Despicable Me 2 in its 3rd weekend will beat Turbo's opening weekend

Summer and holiday season are interesting.

 

There's only four dull months: January, February, September and October.

 

So maybe there should be a game for late October-early January and another for late March-early September.

 

That way new players have a chance to become top players and win prizes.

 

I'm also considering doing a whale casino where your points carry over from past games and bets have no limit.

Let's say DM falls 40%, Turbo would have to make 26 mill.  I can't see that happening.

But if it drops 45% Turbo has a much better chance.

 

and stop scaring away other fishermen's fish!

True.  My bad.  I'll shut up now.

I'll take The Conjuring one.

 

If this really breaks out as people expect it to, I'm going to lose 3/4 of my points LOL.

If Baumer didn't take this, I'll take it.

Any chance we can leave this in Box office section for... like... ever? Once it gets dumped into the Games subforum, no one's going to visit that part even if it's popular now.

We'll leave a trail for it.
