BSG Movie Trivia worth 20,000 points is up.

[Ariadne]

I knew Disney would fudge the fuck out of John Carter but never thought it'd end up #12. I mean... come on.

LOL, you're kidding me!

[laguy03]

Interesting Game Fact: Only one person guessed that The Avengers would make more than $500M. Dexter of Suburbia predicted that the film would make $540M.

[HeyItsMoses]

I think its virtually impossible for Spidey to reach $100m opening weekend. That's just my two cents, though. I'd give MIB3 a stronger chance at it.

Is this a joke?

[XenoZodiac]

Is this a joke?

Opening on a Tuesday, Spidey has no chance.I believe the highest first weekend for a Wed opening movie is 110M for TF2.Spidey opens on a Tuesday.And MIB3 is tracking at mid 80 OW at present. So, yeah, MIB3's OW might be higher than TASM.

No shit?I always figured that MIB3 wouldn't even pass $75m, I had it in the 60's actually. We'll see what happens though, it could still be overestimated and open lower than expected.

Its not where you put MIB3. Tracking is at mid 80s (which I myself think is overestimated) But, TASM won't in any rational expectations get much more in OW than Tue-Thu. 3 days is a lot to burn the demand. You can safely predict 60-70M for TASM, in case the quality is good. But 100M? No.

[Fake]

Isn't Mid-80s for the 4-day, Xeno?

[XenoZodiac]

Isn't Mid-80s for the 4-day, Xeno?

Really. I need to check that.

[XenoZodiac]

Isn't Mid-80s for the 4-day, Xeno?

Ooops, my bad. Yeah, its 4-day.

[Cedarpoint1111]

How many people put TA #1 for WW? I just realized I did that. Good chance of that happening unless TDKR makes like 900m OS. I don't think Spider-man will beat either of them WW anymore, nor do I see Ice Age 4 doing it.

SOTM 2:By the end of the game, which film will The Avengers pass in ADJUSTED domestic gross?Here's how it works. You can only pick one of these films. As long as the film you pick is surpassed in gross by The Avengers, you get the points. So for example, if you take Batman at 498.6 mill, as long as it passes that number, you get the points. It doesn't matter how high it goes. The first list will show you the points you will get if you are right. The second list will show you the points you get if you are wrong.This is a special SOTM question, the points will not be this high on a regular basis.There are no points for abstaining.1) Superman: 454.27 20002) Spiderman 2: 476.45 30003) Batman: 498.6 50004) Home Alone: 536.45 70005) Ghostbusters: 560.18 90006) The Dark Knight: 588.31 11,0007) Grease: 609.59 13,0008) Fantasia: 657.70 15,0009) Star Wars Ep 1 TPM: 715.26 17,50010) Return of the Jedi: 744.950 20,000If you are incorrect:1) Superman: 454.27 -30002) Spiderman 2: 476.45 -30003) Batman: 498.6 -40004) Home Alone: 536.45 -40005) Ghostbusters: 560.18 -50006) The Dark Knight: 588.31 -4,0007) Grease: 609.59 13,000 -40008) Fantasia: 657.70 15,000 -50009) Star Wars Ep 1 TPM: 715.26 17,500 -800010) Return of the Jedi: 744.950 20,000 -8000Answers are due by Sunday May 13th at 9pmGood luck...do not be late.
