This is awesome.  I love being on the outside looking in.  

 

And you get to experience that horrible feeling of not know whether a question is ridiculously easy, or if the host knows something I don't.

 

Questions like:

 

Will at least 6 of the top 10 drop less than 20% this week.

 

and you start panicking thinking there is something special about the weekend and everything will drop softly only for actuals to roll in and the lowest drop in the top 20 let alone top 10 is about 42%

Just to clarify on question 6 and the second bonus question, do increases count? So like if Enough Said increases, does that count as dropping less than 20%?

How do we consider a film that doesn't drop anything but grew instead?
