BSG: Congratulations to FILM!

[Dementeleus]

Both of which are worth seeking out and watching.

[iceroll]

Holy shit baumer, I just finished a bunch of long-ass exams a few days ago and you subject that to this?? I feel like studying for some of my exams went easier .

[Chewy]

The top WW weekends are impossible to do. IMPOSSIBLE 

[Dementeleus]

I've got a good feeling about HERCULES for a huge WW weekend.

[baumer]

I've got a good feeling about HERCULES for a huge WW weekend.

 

Not as big as Mom's Night Out.

[JJ-8]

Feels good to back in the game

 

It's gonna be fun

 

As long as i beat tele, i'm happy  

[grim22]

I've got a good feeling about HERCULES for a huge WW weekend.

Weirdly enough, I agree with you. Hercules is the last "hit every country at the same time" release this summer. If it crosses 50M in US OW (possible) it will be in the top 5 WW weekends.

[#ED]

Let's not forget Tammy may actually hit the top 7 OWs since it's a 5-day weekend.Wait...

[Mattrek]

You realize the deadline was yesterday for the pre season questions right? I wish I knew purge 2 was Michael bay. There's 1 question wrong already haha.

[grim22]

You realize the deadline was yesterday is 11:59pm May 1 Pacific Time for the pre season questions right? I wish I knew purge 2 was Michael bay. There's 1 question wrong already haha.

 

FTFY

What? It said the deadline was April 29th 11:59pm.

[chasmmi]

Out of interest as this may be the only time this ever happens, If transformers opens in China a week or two after its US release date (I haven't found an official date anywhere) then it has an outside chance of being in the top 7 WW weekends twice.

 

If this unlikely scenario happens would only the highest weekend counted and the 8th highest different film be bumped up to 7th?

[chasmmi]

Also screw it, Lucy is in the top 15... no wait I may change it again... no I won't.... or maybe... f*** I'll toss a coin... Heads! It landed on the side showing a crane, but the other side of the coin is just a big 500, which one means heads? oh I just don't know! Arrrgh!

 

 

Also Is anyone else concerned about the volume of comedies that have infiltrated the bottom half of their lists?

[chasmmi]

DOM top 155. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - 210M6. Godzilla - 205MMaleficent - 205M7. 22 Jump Street - 155M

You may want to edit this bit

Fixed.

Thanks.

[chasmmi]

Not a problem

[Mattrek]

Well I regret the lack of sleep I did to be able to finish by the supposed 29th deadline now x_xIs TF4 not day and date everywhere? Surely that must be the case.Also baumer for question 20 are you talking about only comedies? The wording is a bit confusing.
