laguy's Winter Game - And the winner is...

[Films]

Shit. I did bad

[baumer]

This game really humbles you at times, well for me, most of the time.  

[Filmovie]

Out both Monuments Men and Jack Ryan. 

[baumer]

Sorry I couldn't get my answers done properly Laguy.  I know I will do horribly this week....but that's nothing new so far.  lol

[Filmovie]

Wait, Jack Ryan is not out 

 

It had my 16th position, but now that there's no Monuments Men I suppose it will count. And there's no way it will be in the top 15 after 4 days of release. Shit!

[Dementeleus]

Fuuuuuuuuck, I forgot to put in my answer for SOTM 1 last night.

[laguy03]

Fuuuuuuuuck, I forgot to put in my answer for SOTM 1 last night.

 

No worries. I will have a makeup SOTM question.

[chasmmi]

I had a dream last night that I finished dead last this upcoming weekend with 7000 points.

 

Spent half the morning quite disappointed with myself until it clicked that today is not Monday

Damn, is this real? I think I read the instructions wrong. Entirely my fault. I actually listed The Nut Job for 100M even though it opens January 17 because I thought total domestic gross is involved. I know it was silly for that number but at that time I saw it was the only animated film to be released after Frozen. Damn, I'm sad now.

[Tower]

The whole game finishes and gets scored after MLK weekend, anything that happens after that is irrelevant to the game.

[bcf26]

Then I guess I will probably take the last place based on my predictions  . My only chances are the SOTM and weekly questions. Ok, so there is still hope I guess.

Aside from The Nut Job, your predictions are pretty solid (they aren't too far off from other players' predictions). I think you will be just fine. Just stay on top of the weekly questions and SOTMs. And don't forget, I still have preseason questions to score!

Nice catch! I forgot that I made the question for the Top 15. That will change things around a bit. I will update scores in a few minutes. Thanks!

Well I wasn't last but that's still a little scary
