After nearly 5.5 years, today is my last day at IMDb / Box Office Mojo! Sad to leave, but excited to take on a new challenge/opportunity.

He gets a bad rap, but I'm sorry to see him go. Hopefully he lands on his feet elsewhere (sounds like something along these lines is happening).

[Lordmandeep]

Ray is great his Tdkr prediction was legendary.

This might explain his recent lack of updates and articles on BOM

[PDC1987]

I hope the guy who wrote the article last weekend doesn't take over. He can't write for shit, and the caption under the article's picture is hilarious for all the wrong reasons.

I'm not sure if PP2 is going to be frontloaded, as I expect a lot of kids and families over the weekend.

This is at least a 2 qudrant-movie, not compareable to FIOS in my Opinion.

 

Very good number for MMFR, should land anywhere between 40-50m, that's a lot more than most expected it to do some weeks ago, but I just read, that it had a Budget of more than 200m, thats a big one...

My exam week starts June 18 (Thursday) and goes until June 24. I only have to go in 2 of those days for 3 hours each, after than were off until the second week of September.

When do you guys go back. We get out on the forth (of June) and get back on like twenty first of August or something

I think we're back September 8 this year.

[Ethan Hunt]

Do you usually start that late?

[Avatree]

 I don't know about that. What are bank holidays? When the banks are closed? We get those too, lol.  Varies from state to state but US students, especially in California get all kinds of ridiculous days out of school. My daughter had 3 weeks out for Christmas holidays.  And not to mention all those staff days they get off per year. 

bank holidays are nothing to do with banks. They're just national one-day holidays that we have every so often, so that people aren't constantly working.

[Maxmoser3]

Good for both! Considering each has a different audience

[DAJK]

Do you usually start that late?

Yes because we don't usually get out until end of June.

But last year we got out end of may and got back sept 22 because of a teacher strike.

School holidays here are generally last week of July until first week of September.

Hmm... Must be an America vs. Canada thing.

Good start for both movies... (About expected for Pitch and higher than I had thought for Max)

US has those. Usually the banks are closed.  Why do they call them bank holidays?

That's like only a month...

I googled it and apparently when bank holidays were created, it was for banks. But since we no longer live in the 1800s, it's not the same everyone is off on bank holidays. Most businesses close.

6 weeks. The time flies by.

 

But we also have:

 

- 2 weeks off at Christmas

- 2 weeks off at Easter

- 3 weeks off across the year as half-term holidays

- 5 teacher training days

- 8 bank holidays (usually less than that for schools because they can occur during school holidays)

 

 

I'm not sure which of these you guys have.

Pitch Perfect should do close to 55 if it keeps up and Mad Max could debut around Prometheus and 300:Rise Of An Empire if it holds up but it could get close to Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes

Week and a half at Christmas, a week at Easter, and usually 2-3 days off at the end of each quarter. Most of the break is in summer
