41st? Timeout, RollingThunder. 

 

You placed much higher in the KJ derby, HAHA

I actually had my predictions early and then wanted to tweak them before the deadline but forgot to do so. So not bad considering it was not my final numbers for sure.

I generally do and typically perform strongly on Box Office Champs, where scoring isn't based on percentages.  The Achilles Heel of the traditional Derby has always been the lowest grossing movies which can kill you.  I went low on The Shallows figuring the ladies would be at Ghostbusters but clearly GB attracted an older demographic.  My logic was still reasonable, though.

CI held better than I thought, and Pets held worse than I thought. 93.79 is the estimate I got for me.

[aabattery]

99.96% on Ghostbusters, do I win anything?

Congrats @Exxdee

[JohnnY]

wow, i was at #20 with BO projections, then #14 with estimates and now #6 with actuals

 

that's what happens when the difference between the players' score is so small, i guess.

[8wombi7]

i really can't get my mind on these numbers lately... 89%, but an under average 35th place! but no wonder with one opener that opened as expectet and therefore no score under 81%!

 

congrats @Exxdee for winning and for a great score!
