chasmmi Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Technically, it isn't. We ran into this last summer when TF4's China gross was 40m+ over TASM2's US gross. Ah that question was good times Predicted TF4 China gross so badly that I got the question right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasmmi Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 And I was brilliantly clever and got it wrong by being right. It is a lovely feeling. My proudest part of the winter game was being the only person on Earth who genuinely thought the Interview was bombing hard. I had it as one of the lowest grossing films of winter and in a whole bunch of other low gross questions. My stupidity with that prediction won me about 35 thousand points in the end 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasmmi Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) 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? YES 2) Will FF7 open to more than 42 million on Friday (including early shows) YES 3) Will FF7 fall less than 25% on Sunday? NO 4) Will FF7 open to more than 100 mill? YES 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)? YES 6) Will Get Hard drop more than 46%? YES 7) Will FF7 open to more than 13.5 mill in UK? YES 8) Will FF7 open to more than 6.5 mill in Brazil? YES 9) Will FF7 open to more than 12 mill in Australia? YES 10) Will Kingsman fall less than 30%? NO What films finish is spots 4 Cinderella 5 Insurgent 7 Kingsmen 8 Do you Believe 10 Run All Night 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? YES 4) Will FF7 gross more than 7 million in midnights/early shows? YES 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)? YES Good luck!! Edited April 1, 2015 by chasmmi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I assume that missing this set of questions would not qualify me for the make up questions at the end of the game right? Otherwise it would potentially be advantageous to skip this set and assume that the make ups may have more than 15k up for grabs. (although this will require one to make sure they succesful get predictions in every week of the game for the tactic to pay off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Neo you answered part B incorrectly. I think it should be worded differently. The way you have it: If you agree to go for this question, you must answer three of these right. To me it sounds like you need to get 3 out of these 5 to get any points. If you only want 3 answered it should read: Out of these 5 questions only answer 3 with #5 as mandatory. Fixed my answer of PART B.
