Infernus Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Man, Question 19 and 20 of this (past) weekend's questions were so close. Above 1m for Sicario and above 1000$ avg for CP. I ended up losing out on both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infernus (if actuals go down 1% avi wins) 3. GreyGhost (this will be neck and neck with DAJK, GG is only winning by .004) 4. Exxdee (highly likely final) 5. GreyGhost (final) Looks like DAJK won the 3rd one....and also the 4th one. Rest seem to have remained the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F, Question 5: With Mockingjay tracking slightly above MJP1 this question might not happen. F, Question 7: This one probably isn't happening either. F, Question 8: This is happening if Peanuts counts as a reboot. F, Question 16: 3 out of 4 choices had one megabomb each (#2 Kasbah, #3 Jem, #4 Scouts). Will Macbeth or Zombies manage to be giant bombs for choice #1? At this stage of the game, I'm rather pleased with my unusually large number of Abstains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Mojo has no datas! I checked there but I didn't find anything and that's why I didn't consider it as a reboot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAtGender Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 AFAIK, no previous Peanuts film had a theatrical release. They were all TV specials and such. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) There were four Charlie Brown movies released in theaters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Boy_Named_Charlie_Brown https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snoopy,_Come_Home https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_for_Your_Life,_Charlie_Brown https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bon_Voyage,_Charlie_Brown_(and_Don%27t_Come_Back!!)

Dementeleus Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Except Chasmmi essentially eliminated it as such: Quote Q. What films qualify as sequels with regards to pre-season question 8? Sequel in this game means sequel, prequel, or anything similar where characters and the such have been retained for the franchise. Essentially it comes down to the films below (as of September 15th): Paranormal Activity Spectre Rings Mockingjay Creed Star Wars Alvin and the chipmunks Nut Job 2 Ride Along 2 Maybe a Blumhouse Horror London has fallen Kung Fu Panda 3 Deadpool (Just has to beat Wolverine Origins) Zoolander 2 http://forums.boxofficetheory.com/topic/20125-chasmmis-winter-game-faq-thread/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Except Chasmmi "essentially" eliminated it which isnt the same as actually eliminating it. Plus, he was wrong in this case. I mean, if Deadpool counts as a sequel because the character appeared in Wolverine Origins, then Peanuts should certainly count seeing as how there were actually prior Peanuts movies. Now its Chasmmi's game, so his word goes, and we all did certainly forget about those prior movies (which is embarassing because I'm now recalling that I saw a couple of them in the theater as a kid). So if he wants to say that list was the final word, or invalidate the question, Im fine with whatever he thinks is best. But WrathofHan is right, Peanuts is a sequel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I don't think Peanuts or Deadpool should count, but again it's Chasmmi's game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why I'm fairly sure he didn't intend it is that the question is an obvious slam dunk if PEANUTS is included. It's only if PEANUTS is excluded that it becomes interesting, otherwise it'd be the equivalent of wondering if OZ would outgross RETURN TO OZ. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infernus Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 In the end it would only matter if no other movie becomes the highest grossing of its franchise. If some other movie (Creed?) does so the answer would be Yes nonetheless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filmovie Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Poor chasmmi, he only wanted to rule a game BTW: in this case there's not so much to discuss: When Telemachos posted the chart of sequel and so on I recognised that I had seen it when I was predicting for the game. That's why I've never had a doubt on Peanuts. Chasmmi made the list to solve the doubts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasmmi Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Yeah I listed those films in the FAQ thread to eliminate the possibility of an issue like this happening Even if I am technically (or actually) wrong, I'll point out that that thread and explanation existed for about a month before the game started and so if it had been raised then, maybe the question would have been adjusted to include Peanuts. Now no more trying to win points on technicalities y'all hear! Otherwise I'll have to give my good buddy Kim Jeong-Un a call and tell him that Snoke is a parody of Kim Jeong-Il and that a righteous group of Americans should possibly be inspired to take down Lucas Film and Disney ASAP :p 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept in Deadpool just because it's an interesting potential break out film that adds something to the question. If it was dead certain to break 400M or was never going to make even 25M domestic, I'd have excluded it (or adjusted the question) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
