grim22 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 So with Interview dropping off the schedule (almost a given now), for SOTM3, does Lowest Opening Day, Lowest Opening Weekend and Lowest Multiplier all become Future as the answer?

Wrath Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Hmm, this raises another issue. I had Interview as #15 on my top domestic list. Bumping it off promotes my guess of Equalizer (post competition start). Now technically the rules say that the competition is only open to movies that opened on 10/4 or later (maybe 10/3? SOmething like that). But I recall clarifying that for Total Domestic, it would be ok to guess a movie that had already opened, bearing in mind that it would only get credit for BO generated *after* the actual start of the competition. Apparently I thought Equalizer was going to be huge. Equalizer generated about $55m after the start of the competition, so I doubt it'll make the top 15, but I thought it was worth clarifying. Edit - Incidentally, it also means we can now answer *preseason* Question #3. Sure, I doubt too many thought Interview would fail to pass Addicted, but it was possible.

chasmmi Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 Yeah the interview does raise alot of questions that Iwill answer to each issue specifically over the weekend. The general rule will be that it will act like it never existed, so top 15's will bump up their 16th pick etc. FOr things like question 3 where it was multiple choice I will likely treat people choosing Interview as if they abstained, not that they are wrong. For the SOTM question, yes it just leaves one less film in the future column annoyingly. THe one thing for sure is that it will never be classed as grossing 0 dollars for any style of question it appears in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filmovie Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Now The Interview is back in Cinemas on CD but only in 100 theatres; since it's no wide release its boxoffice performance shouldn't be considered (at least in top 15 DOM) IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ-8 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I disagree. I've had to wear that paddington was delayed but within the timeframe. Given the interview will now be released. It counts I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 As Jajang said, sadly it will count and people will have to hope it goes wide before January ends.

chasmmi Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 I didn't notice of Paddington; I guess both of you are right. Or both won't count or both will Also it creates awkward slippery slope precedents. (e.g If I had known Interview wasn't happening I'd have added 5M to Into the woods OW prediction and now its in my top 7 so i want to change etc.) Hilariously for me, I thought this film was going to completely bomb so I have it finishing below Addicted for that low gross preseason question and every other question its a low possibility for. So my awful predictive skills may end up winning me tens of thousands of points 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
