Baumer's Summer Game PRE PRE SEASON WEEKEND QUESTIONS AND OTHER STUFF (Deadline 5pm forums time TONIGHT!!)

[baumer]

In the immortal words of Jordan Belfort....LET'S FUUUUCK!!

 

Here are ten questions for you for next weekend.  All questions worth 1000 points.  This will be worth 15,000.  This amount will not cripple anyone if they are not here to participate.  But it will give those of you here a chance at an early lead.  

 

I'also have a treacherous pre pre season question that will be worth 15,000 if you get it but -25,000 if you don't.  

 

I'll move this to the summer game thread after next weekend.  I hope it's okay if we leave it here for a week.

 

 

Here are your ten questions...answers are due, in this thread, by Wednesday at 11:59 pm forums time.

 

1) Will FF7 make more than 7.5 mill for the early shows?

2) Will FF7 open to more than 42 million on Friday (including early shows)

3) Will FF7 fall less than 25% on Sunday?

4) Will FF7 open to more than 100 mill?

5) Will FF7 open to more than 250 mill WW (yes I'm aware it opens early in many markets....whatever number is reported Sunday from all markets since it opened will count)?

6) Will Get Hard drop more than 46%?

7) Will FF7 open to more than 13.5 mill in UK?

8) Will FF7 open to more than 6.5 mill in Brazil?

9) Will FF7 open to more than 12 mill in Australia?

10) Will Kingsman fall less than 30%?

500 points each, 2500 bonus if you get all 5 spots right.

 

That's part A.

 

Part B]

 

If you agree to go for this question, you must answer three of these right, and question five is mandatory.  So you have to answer two other questions.  If you decide to go for this and you answer it correctly, you get 15,000 points.  If you get even one wrong, you lose 25,000 points.  No exceptions.  No points for abstaining.  So just to make it clear, you have to choose two other questions to answer plus number 5.

 

Here we go:

 

1) Will FF7 make more than 260 million?

2) Will FF7 gross more than 850 mill WW?

3) Will FF7 gross more than 120 mill combined in Russia and China?

4) Will FF7 gross more than 7 million in midnights/early shows?

5) Will FF7 gross come within 40 million of Jurassic World (it can be higher or lower than JW but it has to be within 40 mill)?

 

Good luck!!

What if FURIOUS 7 grosses 40m+ over JURASSIC WORLD?

That's within 40M isn't it?

[Plain Old Tele]

That's within 40M isn't it?

 

Technically, it isn't. We ran into this last summer when TF4's China gross was 40m+ over TASM2's US gross.

Questions due NEXT Wednesday (a week from today) correct?

[baumer]

What if FURIOUS 7 grosses 40m+ over JURASSIC WORLD?

 

It can exceed it or fall short of it.

[Plain Old Tele]

It can exceed it or fall short of it.

 

So, just to confirm, if FF7 grosses $265m and JW grosses $223m, the correct answer to #5 is NO, right?

That would be correct sir....it would be more than 40 mill away from JW.

Guys, you are not reading part B right.  You are only answering three of the five questions.  Number five is mandatory so choose two of the other four.  YOU ARE NOT ANSWERING ALL FIVE.
