Filmovie Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I needed to waste an hour of my life. Here are the possible answers to our preseason questions. TOP 15 DOM LOCKED (10) TF4 MALEFICENT DOFP APES2 TASM2 GODZILLA 22JS HTTYD2 NEIGHBORS TFIOS POSSIBLE EOT (WILL CLOSE AT 100-101 MLN) ODDS 95% TAMMY (WILL CLOSE AT 85-90 MLN) GOTG TMNT GET ON UP SEX TAPE LUCY TOP10 WW LOCKED (8) TF4 DOFP MALEFICIENT TASM2 GODZILLA HTTYD2 APES 2 POSSIBLE EOT (WILL CLOSE AT 365 MLN) GOTG TMNT TOP 7 OW LOCKED (6) TF4 GODZILLA TASM2 DOFP APES MALEFICENT POSSIBLE 22JS GOTG TOP 5 WE WW LOCKED (5) TF4 DOFP TASM2 GODZILLA MALEFICENT Answers of preseason questions: Tell me, of these five films, which one will be the lowest grossing of the summer. Only these five films can you choose from.1) Step Up All In2) The Purge 2 3) Jersey Boys4) Legend of Oz: Dorothy's Return (8.5 mln)5) Million Dollar Arm It's such a bad result that it's almost impossible for both Step Up or The Purge to do worse.Tell me which of these will be the highest grossing film of the summer:1) Maleficent2) Blended3) Neighbors4) Think Like a Man TooThird Bonus Question: Tell me, of these five films, which will be the highest grossing INTERNAIONALLY (NOT WW, ONLY INTERNATIONALLY....ALL FIGURES ACCORDING TO BOXOFFICEMOJO.COM)? 1) X-men: DAFP2) How To Train Your Dragon 23) Dawn of the Planet of the Apes4) Jupiter Ascending5) HerculesNor HTTYD2 neither Apes won't catch that number before the end of the game.TRIPLE BONUSHere are your 16 bonus questions that have to be answered before the May 1st start date.Question 1: Will at least 2 films gross more than 100 million dollars Opening weekend domestically (3 day weekends count only)NO Question 2: Will at least two films gross at least 35 million dollars on opening day?YESQuestion 3: Will any film this summer have a worldwide weekend of more than 200 million? (THIS WILL INCLUDE ANY 5 DAY WEEKENDS. WHATEVER IS REPORTED FOR THE ACTUALS ON MONDAY EVENING WILL BE THE NUMBER WE GO BY).YESQuestion 4: Will any film make more than 31.5 million this summer in Australia?The only movie who has chance of hitting that mark is TF4 (22 mln, 4,7 of which made during the last 7 days). It would need -33% drops from now on to surpass 31.5 mln.Question 5: Will any film make more than 45 million dollars this summer in the UK box office?YES (DOFP did it)Question 6: Will any film make more than 200 million in CHINA this summer?YES (TF4 did it)Question 7: Will at least 2 films make more than 900 mill WW this summer?NO (only TF4 will)Question 8: Will at least 3 films, listed as comedy (doesn't matter if it says horror/comedy, western/comedy as long as "comedy" is listed, it counts) by Box Office Mojo, make more than 110 million dollars this summer?We have already two. Tammy is out, Let't be cops, considering its release date, has a slim chance; will Sex Tape cross the line?Question 9: Will at least 2 dramas, according to boxofficemojo, make more than 100 million domestically?We have 0. Get on Up has a chance but IMO it's the only one. Question 10: Which combination of films will make more money domestically? 1) Amazing Spider-man 2 (201 mln), Blended (45 mln), Sex Tape , Planes: Fire and Rescue, Step Up All In = 246 mln + Sex Tape (60-115 mln) + Planes 2 (60-95 mln)= 366-455 mln2) X-Men: Days of Future Past (233 mln), Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (200+ mln), Hercules, The Fluffy Movie, Purge 2= 233+ Apes (200-240)+ Hercules (40-70)+ Fluffy (10)+ Purge 2 (35-65)= 518-618 mln 3) How to Train Your Dragon 2 (172 mln), Lucy, 22 Jump Street (194 mln), Million Dollar Arm (36 mln)= 402 + Lucy (70-110 mln)= 470-510 mln 4) Transformers AOE (250 mln), A Million Ways to Die in the West (42 mln), Exp3, The fault in our Stars (124 mln)= 416 mln + Exp3 (70-100)= 486-516 mln IMO the answer will be 2), but options 3) and 4) have their chances.Question 11: Will any film make more than 35 million in Russia this summer?YES (Maleficient and TF4 did it)Question 12:Will the top three films combined make more this summer than the next 5 films combined (domestic only)? So to avoid any confusion like we had before, the question reads like this.... top 3 spots add up to more than slots 4-8.Considering the Summer, absolutely NOQuestion 13:Will any of the top 5 grossing sequels domestically this summer have a second weekend drop of less than 44.5%?No one did it (TASM2, DOFP, 22JS, HTTYD2). Apes?Question 14:Will ASM2, Godzilla, X-men or Dawn of the Planet of the Apes have a Saturday increase (this includes any money it made on Thursday for midnights/early shows)...so if it makes 50 mill on Friday, including 7 mill from Thursday, then it has to make more than than 50 mill on Saturday to count as a yesNOQuestion 15:Will Transformers Age of Extinction's gross in China come within 50 million of ASM2's gross domestically?NOBonus Question of all Bonus Questions:This is a four parter:1) Will ASM2 make at least 260 million domestically? NO2) Will ASM2 make more than 600 million internationally? NO3) Will ASM2 do at least 10 million for midnights (including Thurs)? NO4)) Will ASM2 make at least 900 million WW? NO17)A) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com gross more than 70 million dollars this summer?B. Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com open to more than 30 mill?C) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com have a second weekend drop of less than 47%? NOD) Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com have an opening day of more than 15 mill?The other answers depends on The Purge 2. If it performs above expectations we could have 3 “YES”. Otherwise we have 3 “NO” NEW QUESTION: QUESTION 18: May: Neighbors: +150 mln June: 22 Jump Street: +190 mln July: Tammy or Sex Tape? 4th Movie: Tammy or Sex Tape? Question 19 1) How many films will gross at least 100 million dollars this summer? (cushion of 2 film) 11 are locked + GOTG=12. TMNT, Sex Tape, Lucy and Get on Up have a chance. So the answer is 12-16 2) How many films will gross at least 650 mill WW this summer? (cushion of 1 film) 4 are locked.

CJohn Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Jessabelle was delayed until November 7. Anyway, for SOTM 10, those last 2 weekends are shots in the dark as far as I can tell. I totally hope I get 4 right in the first 5 weekends of the SOTM. It will be enough to guarantee some points. I don't want to depend on Sin City 2 and As Above So Below... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 And I just saw the trailer for The November Man and I am on a huge dilemma... it can do as well as 3 Days to Kill and that is totally enough to win the weekend... but that Wednesday OD... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) Baumer, SOTM 10 is tearing me apart man. I now believe TMNT will win his 2nd weekend and possible 3rd. 60M OW would be enough, IMO.
