No.

I just saw that The Forest was highly popular. I guess everyone forgot The Revenant and The Hateful Eight are expanding on that weekend

Absolutely. Join in. U start with 100m to spend.

Ps for all u can join at any type me but playing from now means u have a good chance of having enough money to spend on those big budget blockbusters in Summer.

Week 1 : Welcome to the Forest.....

 

After a long hiatus, the Fantasy Box Office is finally back in action.  This years game already is a big hit with a lot of investments being made even before the game officially kicked off.  This week saw the release of The Forest and the Masked Saint (it was listed as wide but ended up being more limited than expected).  A total of 11 investors had put money on the line in the first week of the 2016 game. Those who backed The Forest got a good result already making the budget back over the opening weekend.  Those who put money in the Masked Saint look like that they lost more than 90% of their budget when all is said and done.  Jajang and Chasmmi led the way equally on the first weekend with a small but good start of 3.8m with a solo investment in the Forest.  Wrath came in 3rd with 3.2m just pipping Jayhawk by 20k.  WrathofHan, Ethan Hunt, BourneFan#1 and Thatoneguy all rounded out the top 5 as they were all equal in 5th place.  

 

This weeks weekend Chart is below:

Bank Accounts & individual monthly updates are in the sub forum as always.

Week 2: Simionski rides the box office to the top.....

 

The 2nd weekend in the 2016 game saw 2 new entries into the weekend chart with Simionski jumping straight to the top spot with 43m thanks to investments in both Ride Along 2 and 13 Hours.  Grey Ghost debuted in 2nd with 25.7m also thanks to before mentioned films.  Bournefan#1 bumped up into 3rd spot with well chosen investments.  Ethan Hunt also slipped up into 4th with lucasbenica rounding out the top 5.  Last weekends top 2 (JJ-8 & Chasmmi) dropped down to equal 7th with no new investments this weekend.  While those who invested in the forest fared ok for the type of film and especially given all grosses taken now will be profits (it's already made it's budget back) , it must be noted that those who put their money into the Masked Saint will now be regretting it with the film all but wiped from the chart this week (it dropped over 98% as per megaboxoffice's collapse in last place)

 

Next weekend could be interesting with investments in all 3 new releases and both the boy and dirty grandpa fully booked out while of course ride along 2 and 13 hours will continue to play well.  Can Simionski hold onto the top spot or will he be pipped at the post so to speak... 

 

anyway, here is this weekends chart (note i won't be releasing a 4 day chart but those $ for monday are already included in your bank accounts as it's based upon the last update on BOM....

 

All monthly threads & bank account thread in the sub forum are updated with the latest also..  All taking as per BOM.  Budgets for Ride Along 2 & 13 Hours were as listed in the game (BOM's final budgets were the same).
