Game Updated with the latest information

 

2016 Game Weekends are updated to latest (Rogue One)

 

Getting closer to our first official weekend for the 2017 ... The first film to be released wide for 2017 will be Underworld Blood Wars.

 

2016 Game Thread:

 

Don't forget to invest in the January Thread (see link above)... I will put the February Investment thread prior to Christmas.  I already consider 2 films listed as "Blockbusters" so will have 300% available no matter what though i expect both to go very quickly and possibly enact the new Investment rule!

First Weekend Results of 2017

 

Not surprisingly positions didn't really change from last week (especially in the top 5).  As a result, the chart is dominated by holdovers from last year.  I expect that continue for a few more weeks yet due to the various limited release films from 2016 going wide over the next week or so.

 

We also had our first Auction due to the large number investments in LEGO Batman Movie.  I think it generally worked.  Welcome any thoughts as to ways it can be tweaked.. understand I won't be looking at wholesale changes or a change back to the old system of first in best dressed.  One option I might consider if there is interest in this way, that the Auction rather than a PM to me, to make it post in the thread itself. so it becomes more of an open Auction.  in this scenario, I would limit each player to "2 bids" i think. just an idea.. doesn't really change the idea just how we implement the auction itself.  Welcome any thoughts.....

 

Anyway here is the top 11 (yes we are back up to 11 players :) )

Weekend Update 20th - 22nd January 2017

 

Wow what a weekend, Split opened to some impressive numbers on a 10m budget.  This translated into another win for Simionski who in fact bumped slightly higher from last weeks already high total.  I was able to move into 2nd with MCKillswitch slipping into 3rd!  Chasmmi dropped off the pace to 4th with exxdee rounding out the top 5.

 

Don't forget films that have no investment and are in within 2 weeks of release have their budgets reduced by 25% but their max investment is 100%.  That means Resident Evil, Gold, Rings, and The space between us.  (to  be clear, this will never apply to limited releases if you choose to invest there)

Weekend Results : 27th - 29th January : Resident Evil is spit.......

 

Simionski has led yet again thanks to a mix of split and holdovers which continue to allow him to dominate the weekly charts.  I'm holding stead in second on the back of the 2017 numbers mostly.  in fact no one in the top 5 moved spots saying a lot towards the investments made and how they performed. 

 

Here is the top 11:

TIP : Don't forget if a film has no investments 2 weeks from release the budget is reduced by 25% and the max % drops too 100 total.  if 1 week from investment and still nothing then the budget is 50% of the original.  This % reduction OR Fire sale remains in place even if the budget is revised at release.
