narniadis Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 And on another note, I am just ready for this year's game to be done - this summer fucked me up in more ways than I can count... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all of us had portions of the preseason that we really fucked up. It wasn't a good summer for me to invest in Emmerich Power. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a good summer for me to invest in Emmerich Power. Me too and underplayed the power of the Animated Film (unless you count IA5) I don't think I have had a summer where I was so OFF on grosses though - missing 4 or 5 films is my norm (which will happen again this summer) but I am in the red both for under and over on almost all the others and that is not normal. That 80m barrier in total is normally good for letting folks squeak by unless you were totally off the rocker to begin with - but not this summer...

Jake Gittes Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 2011 was my first year of playing and I think still the best as far as top 12/15 is concerned. Predicted DH2, TF3, Hangover, Pirates, Bridesmaids, Thor and Cap all within $10-25m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I think nearly everyone has lost on gross this year. And best for positions is 12/15. Actually some one have done so bad on gross their score for the top 15 is -ve.

Dementeleus Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Just for the heck of it, I tried to tally most of my preseason predictions (assuming some slight shift in totals for movies still in release). Those damn accuracy bonuses are brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
