I can't help but notice there's this strange odor today... What is it, this scent? It's almost like some kind of Derby. | Week 17

[AndyLL]

Nope... predictions not open yet.  I'm still validating the integrity of the DB and I have a couple of bugs to fix.  It'll open tonight sometime.

 

The Huntsman will be the only new opener this week.

 

 

[Rolling Thunder]

Thanks for all your work.  Without someone doing (possibly tedious) work behind the scene, we wouldn't have a game to play.

[ChipDerby]

I mean, you do have another game to play

 

Sure, it's broken, but it works!

Haha, i play there, as well. Helps to see the rankings based on estimates during the weekend. 

[ChipDerby]

I wish I had a way to reset the yearly/monthly/quarterly rankings, since they broke at some point last year.

 

I also wish it had the support/activity as here does!

Second no more dammit

The average predictions are up. @AndyLL, you finally upgrade from Windows 95 and get that automated? 

 

Average predictions are quite low. There's usually a bounce back in drops after a large opener. I'm either dead wrong, too high and going to score 70% or take second again

 

Edit

I see the averages include "0" predictions. They should go up a few percent. Still looking low to me. Matrix is high across the board like me. Makes me feel better about my picks and

taking second

I'm honestly surprised that my $7 million prediction for Zootopia is the highest one we have.

But hi there, @No Prisoners! Glad to see that you're feeling it too, with your $6.8 million!

[RandomCat]

 I think this is the first time any of my predicts haven't been wildly out of touch with the Averages...It scares me.

[JMorphin]

so what's with the $0 predictions?  Did someone just save a blank prediction for everything?  That might be throwing off the averages

[PanaMovie]

All of my prediction are above the averages...

 

I'm scared now

[chasmmi]

Oh there are other games to play other than the impending Summer Game? (hint hint  )

 

Good thing I finally predicted again this weekend

It's OK. Someone entered a 0 for everything.

The 1st few weeks of the game people playing around were throwing in wild predictions... so I added an acceptable range for each movie and if a user fell outside that range they were excluded from the averages and charts.

 

The process I had to run every time checked each users predictions and against that range to included them.

 

I automated the including the user being included but I need a way to exclude users that don't make any picks at all...

 

So again people will have to wait until tonight to see correct averages.

There's always 4 or 5 players that log in but don't make picks I noticed on friday and he removes them. There were 4 I think. So averages should go up by 9%

Those weekday holds were screaming for a sub 20% drop

People just don't understand that week-to week weekday drops aren't the same as weekend drops, especially after it faced strong competition last week and it's slim pickings this week.

[JohnnY]

i'm fed up with these movies grossing 1~2 million and ruining everyone's scores because of decimal points

DERBY UPDATE:   (ERROR ALERT) – 46 players this week including 1 new player.  Welcome Gamb1993.  Returning from last week is Grath.  Other returning players from before include Daxtreme, Chasmmi, Arlborn and Olive.  The average is 86.160.  First place is very close as bigger drops on Sunday will rearrange the top 2 or top 3.   Many players will see their average increase this week.  All positions will be sensitive when actuals are released. 

I entered these figures for the 10 movies.  JB – 60.8/ Huntsman – 19.9/ Barber – 10.38/ Boss – 6.08/ BvS – 5.52/ Zoo – 6.61/ Criminal – 3.07/ MBF – 2.09/ GND – 1.11/ Miracles – 1.10
