Chasmmi's Winter Game - Grey Ghost is the WINNER!

[MovieMan89]

Well that was an ungraceful fall from grace for me. Thankfully I think I have enough of a lead to still be in the top 5. Just gotta make sure I don't screw up this week too. 

[chasmmi]

Next weekend's questions up early. A Little different for this weekend only

 

 

 

[chasmmi]

There's a new SOTM up as well:

Well, that's going to shift the standings.

[chasmmi]

Oh and speaking of SOTM's...

 

Whichever player scores the highest in next weekends weekly questions (17th weekend not 10th), will have the privilege to create their own SOTM for this game.

 

Terms and conditions apply as below:

 

* Maximum possible win/loss of points for a single player - 32000 points

* points must be won/lost in multiples of 1000

* Abstaining must be allowed

* The question cannot revolve around Star Wars or The Oscars (Star Wars can be part of the question, but not the centre) 

* Question must be the same playing field for all (so nothing like Tele loses double points for all wrong answers)

 

* Deadline for Question must be in January at some point

* Question must be PMed to me and once checked I'll post it

* If the winner of the week does not wish to create a question the offer will pass down to 2nd place and so forth

* If two players finish equal top, they will both be given the chance to make a question 

* I am free to add extra rules to this as I see fit

The question would become correct for anyone that answered it.

Everyone put Good Dinosaur 3rd or 4th in their top 15 DOM.

 

If TGD gets pushed to 5th, no one will get the top 4 correct.

 

 

[Infernus]

Btw I think SOTM3 is completely answered now since the difference between the grosses of Spectre and Peanuts by the end of this weekend will already be ~63m, which is greater than the 60.9m difference that was needed for Spectre to win Q3, and this difference is definitely not going to get any smaller. 

 

So its like -

1. Spectre

2. Peanuts

3. Spectre

4. Peanuts

5. Peanuts

6 Spectre

 

I didn't try scoring everyone (anyone up for that?) but from a quick look I think three guys got FULL 30,000 points! - Exdee, ThatOneGuy and Grey Ghost.

[WrathOfHan]

SOTM 3 scores:

 

Exxdee: +30,000

grey ghost: +30,000

ThatOneGuy: +30,000

chasmmi: +14,000

MikeKaye42: +12,000

sakskidz: +12,000

darkelf: +9,000

Filmovie: +9,000

glassfairy: +9,000

Infernus: +7,000

Telemachos: +7,000

Kalo: +6,000

Wrath: +6,000

Blankments: +3,000

DAJK: +3,000

kayumanggi: +3,000

bcf26: +2,000

Jajang: +2,000

misafeco: +2,000

damienroc: +1,000

Alfred: -3,000

baumer: -3,000

laguy03: -3,000

The Panda: -3,000

treeroy: -3,000

MovieMan89: -6,000

WrathOfHan: -6,000

 

Everyone except me, MovieMan, and the ones who didn't answer got points, and the losers didn't lose much. BastienGiot didn't start playing until after this SOTM, will it count as a loss for him?

[DAJK]

So my sister (who's 14) is apparently super bored today so she was asking about like "how do they predict how many people are going to come to the movies at your work?" I was like its the same way I try to predict box office and she asked "would I be good at it?" So I gave her my laptop and watched her try to answer this week's questions without laughing. I was there to answer any questions for her so here were her answers. Some are decent, most are cringeworthy. Makes me realize when we sometimes say to each other how bad one of our predictions was that, compared to the general public, we're all pretty great and box office predictions:

 

1. What will Heart of the Sea gross OW? ("what did Mockingay make?" "102M" "okay a bit less than that) 87 Million

2. What will Legend gross this weekend? 40 Million

3. What will Krampus' percentage drop be? 48 Percent

4. What will Creed gross on Friday? 10 Million

5. What will Peanuts' Friday increase be? 50 Percent

 

6. What will Macbeth's PTA be this weekend? 5 Million (I don't think she quite gets PTA)

7. What will be the difference in weekend gross between Secret in Their Eyes and Love the Coopers? 30 Percent

8. What will Spectre's total be by end of Sunday? 142 Million

9. What will Hunger Games gross on Sunday? 25 Million

10. How many positions will separate Spotlight and Victor Frankenstein? 16

 

11. What will be the gross difference between Good Dinosaur's Friday and Saturday? 20 Thousand

12. What will Night Before's percentage drop be this weekend? 48 Percent

13. What will Trumbo's Sunday percentage drop be? 50 Percent

14. How much will The Martian's gross differ from the film that finishes the weekend in 10th place? A lot

15. What will Jem and the Holograms gross this weekend? (I want to keep tradition of having the one question everyone gets right  ) 5 Million (I had to explain afterwards that it isn't playing anymore, so she changed the answer to 0)

[MovieMan89]

Question 3 on SOTM 3 is Peanuts total gross minus Epic's total gross vs Spectre's total gross minus QoS' total gross, which is higher. That's looking to go right down to the wire most likely, with both probably being within 30-35m difference. Too close to call yet. Remember, Peanuts late legs will be much better and it will play much longer than Spectre given its nature as an animated film. Will probably still be grossing when the game ends, whereas Spectre will have been done for at least a solid month. Peanuts could still go as high as 140.

Finally, after that huge slump, I'm starting to rise again.

I don't think it will happen but I hope it does. It will benefit me a lot and would mean no one gets full points. Although even if Peanuts does get to 140m, spectre will still only need to get to 201m to win.

[WrathOfHan]
