JCS Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) What is the best way to work out who won weekend predictions?I think look at order you chose then of those who got order right, the ones with closest grosses wins the weekend. Quite harsh but fair.New predictions in by UK 9AM tomorrow (Thursday) as there are previews this week starting Wednesday and we might get early numbers on Thursday. Predictions include preview grosses. Edited September 12, 2012 by JCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Technically Lawless finished third, but they added the special screenings it had the previous week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Sweeney looks awesome. Fingers crossed it'll do the £6m needed to reach the profit land.Sweeney should easily make more than that if it holds up. I'm surprised it only cost £3m to make, would have thought £10m.

SchumacherFTW Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 According to the Guardian, even stripping away the previews, Lawless was still second by a couple of quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toymaker Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Only a top 10. Nothing known for titles below the top 10?Why the UK takes so long to get numbers out, I will never know. We're supposed to be a developed country. Even Serbia has numbers out before us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Dredd tanks in Spain, kinda flops in the UK. Not a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toymaker Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Dredd didn't flop in the UK at all. It was #1 and made £1m. For the time of year, type of film, and budget of Dredd, that is absolutely fine. But yeah, it tanked in Spain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think look at order you chose then of those who got order right, the ones with closest grosses wins the weekend. Quite harsh but fair. New predictions in by UK 9AM tomorrow (Thursday) as there are previews this week starting Wednesday and we might get early numbers on Thursday. Predictions include preview grosses. So last week's players were: TheDarkAlfred CJohn PhilipJ2001 JCS Tower Heretic No one got the order right and I will say it was a narrow victory for CJohn as he predicted Dredd on top correctly and got the closest grosses with PhilipJ2001 and Tower. In a case like this, if you get #1 film right you win. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My predictions for this week (to include previews as usual for UK): Paranorman £2M The Sweeney £1.7M Hope Springs £1.6M To Rome With Love £1M Premium Rush £0.5M Will be much better weekend ahead. I hope. Edited September 12, 2012 by JCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCS Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Great, 5 players! May the best man win.With the order most important as exact grosses are very hard to predict spot-on.Let's also hope the weekend ahead has a significant boost over last weekend. It should do as the weather is now in Autumn almost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I just realized that I only predicted 3-day for Sweeney, so if we use the 5-day, I'm upping my prediction to £1.3m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
