[baumer]

For the trivia, if you guys don't want to answer it, no big deal...it's only 20K....but one person has it perfect so far...out of the 5 who have sent it in.

[CJohn]

I probably won't answer it. I don't remember most of that stuff.

[baumer]

I probably won't answer it. I don't remember most of that stuff.

 

I'm pretty sure you can find some of the answers with your best friend Google.

[CJohn]

Ok, some of them are indeed possible to find.

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 In
2) The Purge 2
3) Jersey Boys
4) 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) Maleficent
2) Blended
3) Neighbors
4) Think Like a Man Too


Third 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: DAFP
2) How To Train Your Dragon 2
3) Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
4) Jupiter Ascending
5) Hercules

Nor HTTYD2 neither Apes won't catch that number before the end of the game.


TRIPLE BONUS

Here 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?
YES

Question 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).
YES

Question 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 mln
2) 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 NO

Question 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 yes
NO

Question 15:

Will Transformers Age of Extinction's gross in China come within 50 million of ASM2's gross domestically?
NO


Bonus Question of all Bonus Questions:

This is a four parter:

1) Will ASM2 make at least 260 million domestically? NO
2) Will ASM2 make more than 600 million internationally? NO
3) Will ASM2 do at least 10 million for midnights (including Thurs)? NO
4)) Will ASM2 make at least 900 million WW? NO


17)

B. Will any film listed as a horror OR thriller film by boxofficemojo.com open to more than 30 mill?

[chasmmi]

Very good work,

[Blankments]

Jersey Boys potentially in the top 15

 

Where's your god now

[CJohn]

I remember that

 

It was when the OD was supposed to be 8.5-10M  

[CJohn]

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...

[CJohn]

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...

[CJohn]

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. I hate you

Edited July 18, 2014 by CJohn
