BSG: Congratulations to FILM!

[Shawn Robbins]

Seeing as how Jersey Boys did score the R rating I think I will be dropping it down a few notches :/ oh well

 

I'm still trying to reconcile that movie, its director, and its release date.

[narniadis]

I'm still trying to reconcile that movie, its director, and its release date.

 

I think thats why I am so intrigued by it - but its totally out of season in my opinion. But with Into the Woods in winter I don't think WB had much of a choice.

[baumer]

2 weeks!

 

[baumer]

I might have one more preseason question.  My head has a bit of steam coming out of it.

[baumer]

Question 20:  This is the final preseason question.  I promise.

 

For these questions there is no abstaining, unless you choose to not answer any of them, in which you will receive 5000 points.  But that is your only option for abstaining, you must abstain from all of them.

 

Each question is worth 3000 if you answer correctly and -2000 if answered incorrectly.  You must answer them all.

 

Comedy battle of the summer:

 

There are 7 high profile comedies coming out this summer.  They are:

 

Neighbors

Blended

22 Jump Street

Think Like a Man Too

A Million Ways to Die in the West

Tammy

Sex Tape

 

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is as follows:

 

 

1) Which comedy will open the highest?

2) Will any two comedies combine to open with more than 60 million?

3) Which film will finish with the lowest total?

4) Will any film have a multiplier of more than 5.75?

5) Will any film have a multiplier of less than 3.3?

6) How many of these films will open to number one on the weekend?

7) Will any film make more than 150 mill internationally?

8) Will any film have a first Monday drop of less than 51%?

9) Will any film have a first Tuesday increase of more than 15.5%?

10) Will any film that opens after June 14th have a second Friday increase of more than 90%?

11) Will a sequel be the highest grossing film of all these comedies?

12) Will any film make more than 18 million in Russia?

13) Will any film make more than 20 mill in the UK?

14) Will any film have a second weekend drop of less than 40%

15) Which films will combine to have the highest total gross? 

 

A) 22 Jump Street, Tammy, Million Ways 

TLAMT, Blended, Tammy 

C) Million Ways, Neighbors, Blended 

D) Tammy, Sex Tape, 22 Jump Street

Guys, all your answers go in one post please.  Do you have any idea how hard for me it would to find all your answers if they were spread out over 50 pages?

[narniadis]

You're a jerk Baumer lol

[kitik]

2) Will any two comedies combine to open with more than 60 million?

 

You don't mean they each make 60, right? You mean 2 of them added up together make 60 (like one makes 35 and the other makes 25).

[narniadis]

That question reads like a gimmie to suck you into answering lol
