You won't lose points with 125.

[baumer]

Too bad I'm gonna win though  

[franfar]

So what I'm learning, is to underpredict my gut estimation. I expected a bigger # from Alien.

[baumer]

I should be officially out of the game by the time Monday actuals are out.

I think you're exaggerating.

Nope.  The SOTM 3 is going to kill me.  I went for all 8 questions and I'm going to get about 6 of them wrong.

A lot of people went for all 8, I think. 

[WrathOfHan]

What I think will happen:

 

1. Will Alien Covenant have a higher OW than Alien vs Predator ($38.29M)? No

2. Will Alien Covenant's Midnight's be higher than Alien's OW ($3.52M)? Yes

3. Alien Covenant's Domestic total pass Alien Resurrection's Total Domestic gross ($47.79M) within its first 10 days of release ? Yes

4. Will Alien Covenant's 2nd weekend gross be more than half of Blade Runner's Total Domestic Gross ($16.43M)?  Yes

 

5. Will Alien Covenant's WW total overtake that of Aliens' WW total ($131.06m) the the end of the weekend? No

6. Will Alien Covenant have a higher opening Sunday than Alien 3's Total UK Box Office ($12.76M)? No

7. Will Alien Covenant have a better 2nd weekend drop than Prometheus (59.4%)? Yes

8. Will Alien Covenant have a higher second Saturday gross than Alien vs Predator Requiem's total gross in Mexico ($5.19M) Yes

 

I answered yes to everything, so this would put me at a 38k gain. Not too shabby. It'll have a better drop than Prometheus because of Memorial Day, so really it's a matter of whether it can get nearly 12M in weekdays and beat the 16.43M number

Yes, but are all those people going to lose points like me?

I answered yes to everything, so this would put me at a 24k gain. Not too shabby.

 

If that happens I'll get 5/8 and it won't be a disaster.  But I took YES for all 8.  I have a feeling it's going to be NO for 6 of them.

[Premium George]

Is last week scoring is up?

I did bad last week, decent this week, abstained from sotm3, now if by some miracle guardians tops this weekend, I can end up in top 10.

If it's a no for 6 of them, we'll still only lose 4k points. This is hardly something to be concerned about, and we both might gain some big points.

That's all?  Hmmm...thought it was way more.

 

 

Ok, I'll live to fight for another weekend.

6 of them wrong isn't terrible, the points you lose from it aren't gamethrowing by any means.

[Dementeleus]

But maybe he'll get 7 of them wrong.

I figured on 6 wrong.

Scoring hasn't been updated.  I'll have some time tomorrow....I'll see if I can do some scoring to help out.

I abstained the whole thing which I rarely do, did not have a good read on Alien

I think I'll get 7/8 on this. Didn't think it would collapse that huge OS. It needs to hit 47M in 10 days which is a lock, and needs to do 8.22M next weekend (half of 16.43M) which is also a lock.
