[Chaz]

Did Cameron make an ad congratulating himself?

[RyneOh1040]

Went to go see TFA for a third time today just to be a tiny piece of history.  Can't wait to tell my grandkids and/or 10 dogs about it.

BOM is giving TFA a projected 50M weekend. Hmm.

 

Watch out Avatar, SW is coming for more records to BREAK

My feeling is more like 45-ish. 

 

Mojo called $106M last weekend I believe, so an over-prediction on their part wouldn't be that surprising.

The Sting: B-, shocking a film like this was so popular

Love Story:  don't be sorry.

Butch Cassidy: B, dont get it

 

 

Don't like Newman and Redford together? I like them both, then and now.

The Sting is soooooooo good. Also, don't forget how great Robert Shaw us in it too.

Pretty much read my mind.

 

Newman pretending to be drunk...

 

Probably my favorite Paul Newman moment

Nah...the egg eating scene in Cool Hand Luke.

Enough chit chat, RTH, just give me what I want. Yesterday you came out of no where and today I want it early.

The Mighty purple one (or is it hot pink as someone said) has not blessed us with his wisdom yet.

This is why there's a good argument for looking at admissions as well as gross.

 

I don't know. It's really difficult, these comparisons. Those old movies didn't need to compete with piracy and stuff like netflix, video games, etc.

[Daxtreme]

Apparently Star Wars lost 1 record on BOM (went from 40 to 39), any idea which one it was?

Director with the biggest ego? 

 

I don't think TFA ever had it. 

[Daxtreme]

On that note, I really feel like the 3-day, 4-day, etc records are quite redundant with the "Fastest to ... x M" around. If a movie has the record for 6-day gross, you bet it also has the relevant "Fastest to ..." record as well!

Smaller population does come into play as a disadvantage. But yeah, the $200 price point for the vcr in the mid 80s killed the amount of new entries into the top ten.  Only 2 in 30 years after having 4 in just 12.

Only 48 players have played all 3 games in the derby. Don't forget to play. With the point system you can't miss a week and win a month or even a quarter. I don't want to win this thing by default. Funny, my percentage for the first 3 weeks is about the same as it was for 8 years on bom.

You might still win the Derby if you miss one week... however this week also starts the 1st Derby Tournament.  If you don't play this week you will be sitting on the sideline doing this for the other tournament players for the next month or so:

 

 

Every week people go into the prediction page but don't complete all their picks.  I assume the plan to come back on thrusday but we're averaging about 15-20 players that end up not picking all 10 movies and getting excluded from that weeks game.
