The only cost is your time and your soul

I already have a pact with the devil on my soul. Guess I can't play.

We can work something out

[Wrath]

Btw, this probably goes without saying, but just to make it clear:

 

I'm totally down to see Spartacus 2:  The Quickening.  Sounds awesome.

[tong kosong]

I think I will play this game. I've never played box office related game before, but I played the World Cup game that you hosted.

Chas is a great host.  This game rocks when he runs it.

[Godot]

I will try to participate, seems like a big time commitment at the start. Hopefully beginners luck works for me.

Beginner's luck seems to be a major factor in this game

[chasmmi]

Thanks so far to everybody that has posted a pre-season prediction set / reserved to do so so far.

You are all heroes

Demonic and Amityville have been moved out the season; will questions be replaced?

Wil have them changed within 24 hours I hope

[chasmmi]

Questions 14 and 15 have been altered slightly to account for the removal of Amityville and Demonic from the Schedules. The two films have been replaced as bolded below.

 

If you have already filled in these answers there is no need to repaste the new answer template, just rechoose your answer, if the new films change your mind otherwise either edit the post if you want to or do nothing

14 and 15 seem to easy of questions,

 

For 14 4 seems like an obvious answer, however it's possible for 2 or 3 to win out if one of the non-Interstellar/Hunger Games movies breaks out as well.  However, I see no chance for number 1 to win.

 

It'd make more sense to switch Horrible Bosses 2 with John Wick, and The Judge with Hot Tub Time Machine, 4 is way to stacked and 1 only has the hobbit which is looking like the smaller of the big 4 movies anyways (With a potential of an Annabelle break out)

 

15 is just a no brainer in my opinion, nothing in 4 is going to be a hit meanwhile 3, 2, and 1 all have potential hits (and even if some of those bomb they'll gross more than anything in 4).

 

Switch the Pyramid with Unbroken and it'll be a bit more fair.

 

Just posting this because everybody is picking number 4 on both options (And if they aren't they are either taking a huge risk, or in 15's case being outright blind)
