Holy SHIT!!  This is unbelievable!  I just took it one shift at a time.  My back was against the wall and I had to give 110%.  I'd like to thank God, my team mates, oh wait, I don't have any, ok, I'd like to thank myself for finally having a good week.  Wow, what a shocker.  Can't believe I move on!!

[chasmmi]

The quarter final results are in!

 

first up: Grim22 vs Alisson 23

 

.........Grim22 v Alisson23 .........

 

Q1: 97.87 (4)  vs  (2) 93.37

 

Strong start from both players, but grim takes the early lead, 4-2

 

Q2:   58.85 (0)  vs  (1) 68.71

 

Alisson fights back with a point here 4-3 to Grim still though

 

Q3: 60.77 (1)  vs  (0) 60.72

 

So so close but it's another point for Grim: 5-3

 

Q4: 42.88 (0)  vs  (1) 67.46

 

But Alisson isn't taking this lying down, another point pulled back: 5-4

 

Q5: 97.09 (4)  vs  (0) 62.45

 

A big big question this one and it may be hard for Alisson to come back now as Grim is 9-4 up. She needs some big scores

 

Q6: 93.96 (3)  vs  (0) 74.36

 

Grim piles on the points again, 12-4 up with one question left, it is all over

 

Q7: 95.31 (3)  vs  (4) 96.59

 

Brave fight from Alisson in the last question but it is still Grim who goes through 15-8

 

FS:   (15)  vs  (8)  

[chasmmi]

Quarter Final 2:

 

Filmovie vs Baumer

 

........Filmovie v Baumer.........

 

Q1: 95.13 (3)  vs  (4) 98.84

 

Again a strong start from both players, but Baumer gets the early advantage: 3-4

 

Q2: 47.51 (1)  vs  (0) 40.32

 

Weak from both, but Filmovie pulls a point back and it is 4-4

 

Q3: 70.42 (1)  vs  (0) 36.46

 

Another point for Filmovie as Baumer falters again and he is now in the lead 5-4

 

Q4: 36.60 (0)  vs  (3) 91.71

 

This time though it is Filmovie who falters and Baumer gains 3 precious points with only 3 questions left to go. 7-5 to Baumer

 

Q5: 98.12 (4)  vs  (2) 94.11

 

Strong from both players but Filmovie is back in it now at 9-9

 

Q6: 92.56 (3)  vs  (1) 89.38

 

Is that the question that ends this quarter final? Baumer misses out on 2 points by less than a percent and allows Filmovie to open a 2 point lead with just one question left 12-10

 

With just this final question, Filmovie knows a score of 95% or more means Baumer is out and a score of 90% means Baumer needs 95% just to draw and enter a sudden death question. So what did Filmovie score? ...

 

 

Q

7:  Filmovie: 90.30% - that's a big score and it means if baumer does not score 95% or more, he is out. But what does he manage? 

 

Baumer: 97.58% Baumer does it! 97% and 4 points, its a draw 14-14 and both players will be sent a tie break question to hopefully answer ASAP. what a match!

 

 

[chasmmi]

What this means is that Baumer and Filmovie will both be asked to predict Anchorman's Thursday gross.

 

The deadline is 24 hours from now and the closest (in dollars not percent will advance to the semi finals.

 

both players will be pmed the semi final questions now as a precaution.

[chasmmi]

Semi Final Questions are here! (All 7 of them)

 
1) Predict Anchorman's 3 day gross

2) Predict Walking with Dinosaur's 2 day (Sat + Sun) Gross

3) Predict the difference between American Hustle and Saving Mr Bank's 3 day gross

4) Predict how far away Frozen will be from 200M by the end of the weekend

5) Predict the Hobbit's Saturday Gross

6) Predict Philomena's Percentage drop this weekend

7) Predict the difference between Hunger Games and Tyler Perry's 3 day gross

 

Tiebreaker (if needed): What will be the total for all movies combined on BOM's actual chart for the 3 day (eg for the previous weekend it is 147.564M off 75 movies) 

The deadline is Friday 10pm GMT (Which is 5pm Eastern, and 7am [sat] Tokyo/Seoul Time I believe) 
 
Please send all predictions by PM and please send any changes of mind in a new separate PM. Do not Edit old messages

[baumer]

This is crazy

[baumer]

How are we supposed to predict Anchormans Thurs gross wheen we dont know its Wed gross?

[Filmovie]

Holy SSSSHHHIIIII!!!!

 

Nice game Baumer; 

 

Predict the 2nd day of Anchorman 2 (this is not a normal sequel) in this time of the year will be very difficult 

[baumer]

It's going to be a pure guess at this point since we won't have any idea what it's OD # is.

[chasmmi]

Sorry, I am trying to work on many time zones and stuff which i dont quite understand.

 

 

I will change the question to the opening day's gross. (as long as both people get the prediction in on time)  

[Filmovie]

I am not compaining chasmmi! ;)you are running in a Perfect way a very entertaining game.The question was difficiult, but it was for both of us, so no problem!

Edited December 18, 2013 by Filmovie

[chasmmi]

With Estimates at $8.1M I think that it is safe to call the tiebreaker between Baumer and Filmovie now...

 

Baumer's Prediction was

 

$11M

 

That's quite a way off the estimate. Pretty much any guess under 11 from Filmovie and Baumer is finally out. So what did Filmovie predict:

 

 

$16.456M

 

The Fairytale contnues! Baumer, in 10th place with one week to go is through to the semis!

 

[baumer]

Great game Filmovie. Chas this is a great game and im on a fairytale run right now. Thanks for an awesome game.

[baumer]

So who is my opponent this week?

[chasmmi]

Semi Final Lineup:

 

Goffe vs Grim

Films vs Baumer

[chasmmi]

Semi-Final 1 - Goffe vs Grim

 

........Goffe v Grim.........

 

Q1:  95.61 (4)  vs  (1) 80.49

 

Big win by Goffe to take an opening lead. Grim has some early catching up to do.

 

Q2:  99.45 (4)  vs  (0) 55.90

 

But it gets worse from Grim as Goffe gets another monster score and leaves Grim trailing in the dust. It's 8-1 Goffe and this one could be over before its started.

 

Q3:  40.98 (0)  vs  (4) 95.41

 

Ooh  a twist in the tail! Goffe falters and Grim is back in this at only 8-5 down.

 

Q4:  71.44 (0)  vs  (2) 84.51

 

More points in the bag! that's now 6 without reply from Grim and the score are separated by just a point - 8-7 to Goffe

 

Q5:  98.61 (4)  vs  (2) 90.07

 

The wobble is over, Goffe puts in another big 95+ score and the gap widens again - 12-9

 

Q6:  59.70 (0)  vs  (1) 62.69

 

But Grim isn't giving this up without a fight. another point to his name and it's 12-10 with just one question left. Can Grim complete a remarkable comeback?

 

Q7:

 

Goffe knows that another 95% score will secure a place in the final. He's already had 3, will he get another? Well the short answer is no he can't. Hunger Games and Madea's tight finish meant that Goffe actually zeroed out on this question and that means a score of 80% for Grim will take this to a tiebreaker and a score of 90 means he's in the final!

 

but sadly Grim also zeroed this question and that means Goffe is the victor 12-10 and our first finalist.

 

[chasmmi]

Semi-Final 1 - Films vs Baumer

 

........Films v Baumer.........

 

Q1:  31.08 (0)  vs  (0) 76.76

 

Slow start for both but Baumer edges it.

 

Q2:  54.88 (1)  vs  (0) 43.72

 

Still nobody setting the world on fire but this time Films gets the point.

 

Q3:  74.78 (1)  vs  (0) 56.34

 

And another to Films but this is a low scoring affair so far, one big score can change the game

 

Q4:  52.48 (0)  vs  (1) 56.50

 

But its another single pointer for Baumer and after 4 questions we are locked at 2-2

 

Q5:  96.50 (4)  vs  (1) 85.57

 

The Breakthrough? Finally a big score is in and it falls to Films. a three point gap is opened at 6-3

 

Q6:  90.15 (3)  vs  (1) 83.58

 

And Baumer's fairytale is over, two more points means there is nothing he can do with the scores at 9-4 especially with that deadly final question 

 

Q7: 30.04 (1)  vs  (0) 00.00

 

Films finishes off with the only points score for question 7 and its a final score of 10-4

 

Films is in the final against Goffe. Well done both
