JJ-8 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 This is the thread where your Top 7 Opening Weekends will be tracked. Previously I tracked the worldwide weekends also but that has been replaced by World Hunger Games Challenge, which is position only (position only won't be known until the end of season). Scoring System for the Winter Game: B: DOMESTIC TOP 7 OPENING WEEKS NOTE: AN OPENING WEEKEND IS DEEMED ALL OF THE GROSS A FILM MAKES UNTIL ITS FIRST SUNDAY. SO IF A FILM IS RELEASE ON A WEDNESDAY IT WILL HAVE A 5 DAY OPENING WEEKEND.2nd NOTE: BIG HERO 6’s OPENING WEEKEND WILL BE CONSIDERED AS NOV 7th, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER DISNEY DOES THEIR DISNEYLAND PREVIEW THING ALA FROZEN OR NOT. So it’s simple predict the top 7 OW of winter (plus a backup 8th OW in case of Calendar change) along with the predicted gross for the weekend. POINT SYSTEM: For each correctly predicted film, regardless of order you receive 10,000 pointsFor each film in the exact spot you receive 5,000 bonus points (so 15,000 total)Call top 3 in order and receive 50,000 bonus pointsCall 5 of the top 7 correctly (any order) receive 75,000 bonus pointsCall 6 of the top 7 (any order) receive 100,000 bonus pointsCall top 7 (any order) receive 150,000 bonus pointsFor every incorrect film lose 7,000 points GROSS ACCURACY:Call a film’s gross to within 1 million to get 30,000 bonus pointsCall a film’s gross to within 2.5 million to get 25,000 bonus pointsCall a film’s gross to within 5 million to get 20,000 bonus pointsCall a film’s gross to within 10 million to get 15,000 bonus pointsCall a film’s gross to within 15 million to get 10,000 bonus pointsCall a film’s gross to within 20 million to get 5,000 bonus pointsCall a film’s gross to within 30 million to get no bonus pointsMiss the gross by more than 30M and lose 10,000 points (You will lose these points even if the film doesn’t make the top 7 OW.)

JJ-8 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) 23 Players have supplied a Domestic Top 7 Opening Weekend out of 23 Total Players who submitted a preseason. Across all players a total of 14 films were selected. 1 Film has since been taken off the calendar (James Wan Demonic) but only had 1 player prediction. Everyone predicted The Hunger Games, The Hobbit, Interstellar & Big Hero 6 being in the top 7. (I should note, everyone has also picked the hunger games as their #1 film) Penguins of Madagascar and Exodus were also popular. Of interest the film with the widest range in the predictions was the Hobbit. The following points are made in regards to player predictions: 1. Grey Ghost predicted "James Wan Demonic" in 7th place which has now gone TBD. Unless it returns to a date within the period, Night at the Museum as his 8th selection replaces it. 2. Some users have given a 3 day and 5 day value for The Hobbit and other films that are released on Wednesday. As per the original post all $ up until the end of the first sunday is included. Hence I will use the 5 day prediction in those cases. Edited October 7, 2014 by Jajang and Back Again 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrath Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 wheres my dumb and dumber to prediction i said 40m it was 8th place since u said for ow to list ur top 8 The 8th pick was an alternate in case one of the other movies had its opening date shifted out of the scope of the game, like what happened to Hot Tub Time Machine 2. At this point we probably won't see too many more movies getting moved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ-8 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 oh and next weekend will finally see us have more than 7 films predicted for (it will be 8) so depending on who performs the worst out of - dumb and dumber to - penguins of Madagascar (I see this one being ok) - horrible bosses 2 will miss the top 7. if penguins misses, then everyone is going to be hurting.. however only a select few miss out if either of horrible bosses or dadt misses. At least 1 more will make this chart meaning a further film will be lost here in a few weeks time. There is also a good chance for another film with a further 2 films having an outside chance. of course there could be a surprise too but no ones predicted that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
