Wrath Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Well. I think we're all equally undeserving of a victory lap this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filmovie Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 China's Mockingjay release has been delayed to Jan 15. So there will be only a few days for its box office before the game ends. Does this affect HG os countries question? In other words, is China's result still part of the game or have we to use our make up country? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 If it is before the end of the game then it counts sadly. (Same as how Paddington is going to screw over a couple of people by moving to the weekend before the end of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Yeah, as this game has progressed I've gotten a much better feel for how international releases, especially China, work. And some of my WW predictions are now looking a little optimistic. That's the way it goes. Edited November 19, 2014 by Wrath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
