I'm going to withdraw from this.  It's a great thread but I clearly suck at it.

I am not great at it either as I have lost way more times than I have won. However, doing this makes following the box office a little more fun seeing if my bets win or not. 

[AndyLL]

Frozen over TS3 worldwide to become the highest grossing animated film.  100 points. 2 people.

[BadAtGender]

Let's gamble my remaining points:

 

Frozen OS over Ice Age 4 - 50 points, 4 people.

[Shawn Robbins]

Endless Love over $12m 3-day weekend. 50 points.

[baumer]

Endless Love over $12m 3-day weekend. 50 points.

 

I must be the only one who thinks this could open much stronger than most think.  It wouldn't surprise me if it opens closer to 18.  

[baumer]

Frozen over TS3 worldwide to become the highest grossing animated film.  100 points. 2 people.

 

I'll take this one.

 

Why not?

[Shawn Robbins]

I've been pretty skeptical about it until the last few days, but I'm beginning to think you're right.

Even though it has that generic story; gorgeous young rich girl falls for boy from other side of tracks, over bearing father runs interference, it still has that kind of appeal to young women that should get them into the theater.

It also opens on Valentines day, the one weekend where it doesn't matter what romantic crap you release it's a hit.

I will take this.

[Olive]

Let's gamble my remaining points:

 

Frozen OS over Ice Age 4 - 50 points, 4 people.

But I'd love to lose to you.

I bet 100 points that Winter's Tale 4 days OW will be less than BC 5 days OW (2 persons)

 

 

 

Ok, just so I can add this bet, what does BC stand for?

[Films]

Beautiful creatures

[grey ghost]

Beautiful creatures

 

Okay, thanks.

[grey ghost]

I've decided to refresh everyone's points who fall below 300 points to 300 every Tuesday.

 

It gives players more wiggle room as they stage a come back.

[grey ghost]

I bet 50 points The LEGO Movie becomes the highest grossing Presidents Day 4-Day Weekend of All time (Over 63m 4 day)

 

2 people

 

I'll take this also.

I'll take this50 points endless love over 16M 4-day25 points winters tale 4 day over beautiful creatures 5 daysBoth for 1 person

[The Panda]

Hmmm, I think LEGO Movie getting the 4 day presidents day record is a safe bet so 100 points there to counteract my Her over 50m bets.

 

So I can lose or gain 100 points depending on if Kevin Heart pulls through (which has been looking shady this week, but I believe in him)

 

I did probably lose 50 points from my RoboCop under A Good Day to Die Hard bet though, so at most a 50 point gain or at minimum a 150 point loss.

 

 

 

I bet 50 points that the LEGO Movie grosses over Brave DOM (3 people)

 

I bet 75 points the LEGO Movie largest DOM film of the Winter/Spring Season (Jan-April) (2 people)

 

I bet 50 points 3 Days to Kill and Pompeii open under 20m DOM (2 people)
