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

[Wrath]

Yeah, baby! Yeah!

[kayumanggi]

This is my first year as well! Excited.

[Avatree]

As it's my first year on the forums, this is my first time too. I gave up on the summer game after a month but I'm determined to see this one through... mainly because I actually care about some of the films coming out... excited

[Kalo]

I'll give it a shot, hopefully I can keep up this time. not sure I've done a winter game before. 

[DAJK]

I'm so excited for this! 4th place last year, I'm coming for blood this time

[chasmmi]

London has fallen is the first casualty of the Winter, let me go see if that affects the questions at all..

[MovieMan89]

The Hateful Eight's weird release is throwing me off for predicting it. It only opens in a retrofitted 70mm format on the 25th, so I'm assuming that won't be many screens and will essentially be like a limited release right? It doesn't open on digital screens until the 8th of January, so basically it's missing the Holiday season in wide release if I understand correctly.

I think this Holiday season will be eerily similar to summer with the top 4 films (SW, Bond, MJ2, TGD) pulling massive numbers, and then a huge gap between #4 and #5. Wouldn't be surprised if only a couple other Holiday films even do 100.

Yeah, Spectre is my number 4 right now with 280 and my number 5 is Peanuts with 170.

Prepare to see SOTM 1 appear as if by magic over the next few days

[Blankments]

Steve Jobs is not eligible as it is released on October 9, correct?

 

Also... clever you to tie in Oscar outrage with Winter Game outrage

Cheers, and correct jobs won't be eligible with that release date.

It's a really hard balancing act this year trying to think what the optimum 19 week period would be.

In the end i sacrificed the Martian and Pan for Kung Fu panda, zoolander and Deadpool.

I'm hoping the Oscars can get incorporated a we bit more when the time comes also

[MikeKaye42]

well the oscars is a week after the deadline

[chasmmi]

[JJ-8]

Shame. But oh well Still think we could have started first week of November to include the oscars

[chasmmi]

SOTM time (it got a little out of hand as I got a bit overexcited at being at the helm again )

Proceed to go check it out and abstain as standard

Week 1 questions will go up as soon after the first weekend estimates come out as i can manage.

[JJ-8]

Id better get my shit together and do some calculations.

[chasmmi]

Week 1 questions up!!!

 

That's everything you now need for preseason sorted.

 

Good luck folks, it's about to get real.

[chasmmi]

Also due to Rings being moved to 2016, Scouts Guide to the APocalypse will replace it for section d of question 16.
