chasmmi Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Who would've thought that Triple Bonus Question 15 would be a "No" on the high end? Well I for one ... ...Got every aspect of this question so wrong that I will win the points:) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I did predict TF4 would make 280M+ in China.Didn't expect Spidey gross so low in NA.. Exactly. I was assuming that TF4 was gonna do 250m+..... I just thought TASM2 would do at least 220. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasmmi Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 STEP UP should outgross OZ on its OD. FTFY THat's why its annoying that a preseason question that is so clearly done and dusted and will give me 20k extra points cannot be scored for another month. grr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who had these 4 in these lowest grossing movies list is getting a 100000 point bonus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattrek Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Regarding the lowest grossing let's not count out a movie being bumped from And So It Goes by Clarius. Fluffy movie is likely to make it also. Mom'a Night Out isn't guaranteed in the 5 lowest yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jupiter Ascending is on the overseas list with Dragon, Xmen and Hercules. That's another one that I have in the bag barring Hercules going crazy.
