In spite of that, scores bounced back from the lows of last weekend with new highs set for best score (Inceptionzq), best low score, and best average score in the early goings of the season. Inceptionzq also got the best Part A score (14 right, only missing question 11 (Will Jojo Rabbit have a better percentage change than Parasite) which everybody got wrong thanks to Parasite dropping 28.2% vs JJR's 30.2% despite JJR adding far more theaters this weekend (197 vs Parasite's 17). Looks like both specialty features are hitting the upper bounds of their expansion at least prior to the Oscars). chasmmi got the best Part B score thanks to being within .2% of Last Christmas's 43.2% drop, netting them 15k points and the 3rd best score of the week.

Wrath Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Those 4 are kinda all in different boats. - Doctor Sleep and Charlie's Angels are totally dead. Huge, smoking craters which will contribute nothing anywhere. - Last Christmas will *probably* join them, but it might get lucky and hang on long enough to make the multi list. - Terminator is a disappointment, but still fine for game purposes. Its almost a lock to make the WW chart, its got a fighting chance of making the Dom chart, and if almost everything else also bombs it could even sneak onto the OW chart.

BobDole Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) With more points up for grabs from an expanded part A, were players able to take advantage of it? No. Players averaged 47k points, down from last week's 65k and above only week 2's bloodbath 32k Part A proved tricky with only a little more than half the players getting any bonus and even then it was towards the lower end of the bonus scale. ZeeSoh & Sheikh got a weekend-best 15 questions correct with ZeeSoh getting a better mix of questions correct garnering 57k points to Sheikh's 53k. Sheikh once again played second fiddle in Part B whose 11k points (tied with BobDole) was slightly below Fancyarcher's 12k. It was in Part C that Sheikh managed tops with 3 correct predictions, tied with WrathOfHan (entering the weekly game) and Fancyarcher. With that consistency, Sheikh leads the weekly game and of course the cumulative scoring with Fancyarcher placing 2nd in each. Distance between 1st & 2nd place expands to 69k from 46k last week. Close calls of the week: #5 most of the weekend it looked like Frozen would get 74%+ of the Top 5 but with the finals it comes in at 75.23756% of the Top 5. #12 Ford v Ferrari dips 50.0216% With 319 values to input, a typo or miskey is always a possibility. As always, feel free/encouraged to take a look over your scores & answers to double-check the work.

BobDole Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) With 2 days of numbers providing guidance for the new openers' trajectories, week 5 proved to be bountiful for those who played, with new highs set for best individual score, average score, and best worst >0 score. Sheikh got the first perfect section A of the season, going 15-for-15 and the fourth 15-correct of the season after three 15/20s in the expanded weeks 1 & 4. Three of those 15 corrects are from Sheikh while ZeeSoh is the only other player to have gotten 15 correct (week 4). Sheikh also managed to score points for all three questions in section B, though none of them particularly lucrative with two 3rd-placers. Inceptionzq murdered section B, with two closest estimates and one getting the max 15k points for coming within 0.52% of Frozen II's Friday gross Sheikh was the first player since week 1 to get 5 right in part C with Inceptionzq (4 correct) being the only other player to get more than half correct in the last part. Close Calls: #13 (Will Last Christmas stay above Joker?) Yes, by $57,797 Sheikh keeps their vice grip on #1 for the season, increasing the lead over second place to 78k points from last week's 69k and cracking 400k in the process with 3 other players having 300k+ Wk5 Cume Sheikh 125 453 Inceptionzq 119 375 BobDole 92 296 JJ-8 86 298 ZeeSoh 80 323 captainwondyful 77 264 Wrath 72 243 Fancyarcher 72 331 bcf26 68 207 glassfairy 60 248 chasmmi 0 225 The Panda 0 102 WrathOfHan 0 50 Edited December 4, 2019 by BobDole 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobDole Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) Two more players scored 6-digit point tallies after none in the first 4 weeks (which included 2 expanded weeks) as well as new highs set for average score and lowest non-zero score. BobDole joins the 15 club becoming the second player this season to get everything correct in Part A BobDole however had to settle for second twice in Part B, coming behind Chasmmi both times. Chasmmi gets 15k points for Part B, tied with ZeeSoh who got within $8 of Knives Out's PTA. Sheikh ties BobDole in part B with 9k points, behind ZeeSoh & Chasmmi. Multiple players got 4/6 right in Part C, no one guessed the 10th-place film correctly with most players putting down PlayMobil. ZeeSoh gets the best score of the week with 108k points followed by BobDole's 102k. Despite a rare week not having the best score (or even top 3), Sheikh still expands their lead slightly going from a 78k to 80k-point distance over second place Wk6 Cume - Sheikh 88 541 - Inceptionzq 86 461 +1 ZeeSoh 108 431 -1 Fancyarcher 73 404 +1 BobDole 102 398 +2 glassfairy 80 328 +2 Wrath 77 320 +2 chasmmi 94 319 -4 JJ-8 0 298 +1 bcf26 66 273 -4 captainwondyful 0 264 - The Panda 0 102 - WrathOfHan 0 50 Edited December 10, 2019 by BobDole 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDole Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) The game saw another strong week with season-bests set for Top Score, Best Worst Score (non-zero), and average score The season's first perfect 6 in part C came from Sheikh who guessed the correct movie in every even-numbered position #2-12, netting them 50k points. Strong week for part C with plenty of 4 & 5s correct. 3 players got 14/15 correct in part A with chasmmi getting the best mix of point values correct to get the most points out of the three (missing only a low 1000-pointer) There was also plenty of points to go around in part B with nearly every active player scoring points here, though it was a ho-hum scoring with no one really nailing their predictions. Part B was good for a total of 56k points amongst the players, not the best, not the worst. BobDole got the most points (12k) and Fancyarcher was the only one scoring points from more than one question. In the pre-season, not one guess had Jumanji coming in under a $70M opening (average guess of $77M with one $100M+ guess) while predictions had significantly dampened to an average $50M guess this week with the movie coming in somewhere between. No surprise, Sheikh holds on to their lead and extends it to a nearly six-digit distance over second-place (98k) Wk7 Cume - Sheikh 118 659 - Inceptionzq 100 561 - ZeeSoh 87 518 +1 BobDole 92 490 -1 Fancyarcher 82 486 - glassfairy 113 441 +1 chasmmi 99 418 -1 Wrath 81 401 +1 bcf26 89 362 -1 JJ-8 0 298 - captainwondyful 0 264 - The Panda 0 102 - WrathOfHan 0 50 As always, everyone is encouraged to double-check my work given the amount of inputting figures (google docs link in first post) Edited January 9, 2020 by BobDole 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDole Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 Scoring for the holiday period has finished now that STX finally reported the Dec 20 weekend gross for Playmobil needed to score week 8's question #19 Week 8 (Dec 20-22) With another jumbo-sized weekend of 20 questions, could the players continue the scoring momentum from the prior few weeks or would they fall back into the curse of low scores plaguing prior supersized weekends? It was the latter. With the lowest high score of the game (78k), not one player was able to hit a 6-figure score in the week. Chasmmi did the best in Part A with 54k points from 14 correct answers, beating out Sheikh's 52k from 14 correct. For the first time in the game, everybody got points from part B. The bad news: It was the lowest total points from part B of the season with Wrath's 15k points making a good chunk of the 39k total. Part C was equally terrible; of the 9 players, 4 got one correct and one got none with BobDole and Sheikh getting 4 correct each. Sheikh gets the high score of the week and extends their lead to 119k over second-place, putting the distance between 1st & 2nd at six-figures for the first time in the game. *A note on scoring: while none of the websites with full weekend charts are showing it, (Boxofficemojo, TheNumbers), per Deadline, Indian movie Dabangg 3 grossed $1.115M for the weekend which affects the scoring for both question #15 & part C as that would place it as the 12th highest-grossing movie for the weekend though, again, none of the main box office reporting websites show it as such Week 9 (Dec 27-29) This week proved to be much better with a new high score of 126k set by Fancyarcher narrowly overtaking the previous season-high of 125k set in week 5. In doing so Fancyarcher also overtook BobDole for 4th place in the game. With only 7 players in the week, it was a generally high-scoring affair with almost all players getting 6-figure scores. Four players got 14/15 in part A while Inceptionzq received the third perfect 15/15 of the season in part A Despite fewer players vying for the limited number of points from part B, they still couldn't capitalize on the decreased competition getting a total of 42k from part B, barely better than the season-low set the prior week. 2/3 of those points went to Inceptionzq & Fancyarcher. Two weeks after the first 6/6, three(!) players got a perfect part C in week 9. 2nd-place Inceptionzq manages to cut the distance between them and 1st place down to 109k Week 10 (Jan 3-5) bcf26 & Sheikh tied for best score in Part A at 13 correct/58k points each while part B perked up from the doldrums of the prior 2 weeks with a season-best 79k total points with glassfairy accounting for 27k of those on their way to the week's high score. Multiple players got 4/6 correct in part C.

BobDole Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Week 11 was a generally strong week for play though a mixed bag when breaking down the various parts of the game. Very strong part A with another perfect 15/15 courtesy of Fancyarcher, five 14/15s, and two 13/15s being the worst anyone got in the first part. A total of 60k points were won from part B, a bit better than the average 57k over the course of this season with Fancyarcher getting the only <1% guess thanks to their Grudge guess (-69% to the actual -69.2%) and getting a total of 16k points from the numerical prediction section, edged out by bcf26's 17k points for the section. *Note on Scoring: Frozen II's PTA is $2,226, not the $1861 BoxOfficeMojo is showing. BoxOfficeMojo is showing Frozen II's theater count for the Jan 10-12 weekend as 3175 however TheNumbers had pegged it at 2655 last Thursday and the finals on Box Office Pro, BoxOfficeReport, and TheNumbers all reflect the same 2655 theater count. 3175 is the theater count for the previous weekend. Part C was where the players tripped up, with four 1/6, two 2/6, and the best anyone faring were two 3/6. Fancyarcher had the top score of the week though there were no rank changes in the running season scores Week 11 Cume Sheikh 82 1009 Inceptionzq 78 895 ZeeSoh 86 847 Fancyarcher 95 827 Bdole 72 773 glassfairy 0 666 Wrath 82 645 chasmmi 86 639 bcf26 88 533 captainwondyful 0 304 JJ-8 0 298 The Panda 0 102 WrathOfHan 0 50 Oscar nominations were announced Monday morning, with 53 movies garnering a nomination, 17 released in the game's time frame, and 12 of those being a non-streaming release that have/will have reportable box office.

Otherwise, at this early stage in awards season, it's looking like the higher one placed 1917 the better, but all players save The Panda placed 1917 at a lowly 5th or 6th. A likely leggy run to 9-figures and a strong contender for the technical categories (esp sound against FvF) bodes well for it placing highly in SOTM 2. With a solid box office right around $100M, Little Women and Ford v Ferrari are looking to make a play for the technical categories to run up their SOTM 2 score as Best Picture/Actress/S. Actress aren't looking likely for them (the latter two for Little Women). 1 2 3 4 5 6 Mike Hunt SW9 F2 FvF ABDITN LW 1917 Wrath F2 FvF SW9 LW 1917 ABDITN glassfairy LW F2 SW9 FvF Cats ABDITN captainwondyful F2 FvF LW ABDITN 1917 Cats Fancyarcher SW9 F2 Cats ABDITN FvF LW bcf26 SW9 F2 FvF ABDITN LW 1917 BDole Bombshell SW9 LW F2 1917 ABDITN JJ-8 SW9 F2 FvF Bombshell ABDITN LW chasmmi FvF ABDITN F2 Bombshell SW9 LW The Panda SW9 1917 F2 FvF LW ABDITN WrathOfHan F2 LW SW9 ABDITN 1917 FvF Sheikh SW9 F2 FvF ABDITN LW 1917 ZeeSoh F2 SW9 FvF ABDITN LW 1917 Edited January 16, 2020 by BobDole 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeeSoh scored the most (25k) by getting points from all 3 questions, coming in 2nd for two questions and tying for 1st in one. Part C was a challenge with players averaging one correct answer, Bob Dole prevailed here getting 3 correct.
