Chas' Box Office Summer Game | We Have a Winner: Congratulations to DamienRoc on a game well Played. Special mention to darkelf as the runner up and Chewy into 3rd (had a fantastic pre-season score!) | Ya all come for the winter game ya here!

[narniadis]

Yeah pre-season questions always make huge differences each summer.... best part of the game (imo).

[narniadis]

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...

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.

Well, I'm not dead yet.

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...

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. 

[chasmmi]

Just to say that I am aware that one answer was wrong and I will rectify it when I mark week 17 after actuals

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. Ouch!

[chasmmi]

Final set of Weeklies and Make ups are up today.

 

Will be marking the last week and some SOTMs tonight...

[Plain Old Tele]

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.

Brutal?

 

its a bloodbath.... (Sea of red)

[That One Girl]

There's approximately a 0.00001% chance that I win.

[Plain Old Tele]

ANGRY BIRDS sneaking past IDR in China cost me something like 60k points.
