iceroll Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Nobody's posted the answer key, yet? 12) Will any film increase more than 75% on Friday? NO I don't know if this counts but Boyhood was 11th this weekend but there are no daily numbers for Fri/Sat/Sun. The weekend overall was up 36% so it definitely increased more than 75% on Friday.

chasmmi Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 It's very tempting to call out the mysterious Dipper just to see if they post in this thread. However my official decision will be made in about the next 3 hours. (It may be best that i leave Chewy to Tele for revenge though ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 If i ever hit the top 12 I'm calling out Chewy. Also, Question number 20 will be scored today......you know, the comedy 20 part question.....that will shake things up for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasmmi Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Subject to Baumer confirmation (it's hard finding a balance between trying to screw somebody over and not completely screwing them over ) Tempted to change my avatar to this peace symbol. Apologies but well ya know... gotta gun for the guy in first haven't I? 1) Will Turtles make more than 40M 2) Which will open higher Step Up or 100ft Journey? 3) Will Lucy fall over 52.5%? 4) Will A most wanted man stay in the top 12? 5) Will Into the storm fall less than 27.5% on Sunday? 6) Will Tammy stay above Maleficent? 7) Will 2nd-8th place combine to gross more than GOTG's opening week? Which of the following films will finish closest (Percentage) to the target gross given by the end of the game? Guardians - 260M TF4 - 250M Lucy - 112M Apes - 210M Magic in the Moonlight 12.5M So if film A has a target of 100m and B is 200M, if A finishes with 90M and B with 185M B would be the answer as it is closer percentage wise (185/200 = 92.5% whilst 90/100 = 90% ) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
