I did my answers in 5 minutes this week, totally winged it.

This was a harder week indeed. I did a lot of guessing with the indie films.

Well some of those were not too hard.Like how is Pirhanna 3DD gonna open to 2.5m in 86 theaters? That's a $29,000 PTA. Intocuhables had $25k PTA on only 4 theaters for comparison.Likewise For Greater Good might have a tough time reaching $4,500 PTA with a near wide release (757 theaters), though I could be wrong. I just haven't seen any ads for it.The Battlefield Movie is tough for me. I said YES, I've seen some marketing/trailers for it needs roughly $2,600 PTA to hit 500k and I'd say that's doable.

damn..... should have had more faith in MIB3.... always had it dropping under 55%, but that huge Wed drop made me change my answer..... damn!!

Very tricky week this one, Nikki's estimates have a $0.2m difference between 4th and 7th and no details about the smaller openers. Hopefully the official estimates tomorrow clarify things.

Heh. WAY too early to start counting points.

These are the answers from page 1 to Week 1's questions, except shouldn't #13 be "NO"? Avengers didn't open in Japan yet, so it couldn't have opened to $15 million as the question asks. Edited June 2, 2012 by ShawnMR

[Cedarpoint1111]

That was changed to Russia.

[Shawn Robbins]

That was changed to Russia.

Not in the copy of questions I had/have. As long as those that answered based on the Japan scenario are rewarded though, it shouldn't be a problem. Edited June 2, 2012 by ShawnMR

GUYS, JAPAN ISN'T UNTIL AUGUST...I CHANGED THAT QUESTION TO RUSSIA....PLEASE BE AWARE OF THAT. THANKS.

[Shawn Robbins]

Yea, I found that post too. But it still came after the questions were already posted on the 27th, so the Japan scenario needs to be awarded as well (especially since there are precedents in previous years for trick questions like that).

[baumer]

Sorry Shawn, I can't give you points for that. Everyone has to stay current with the thread and I gave you guys plenty of time to change that answer. i can't pm all 50 players and tell them of the change.

[kayumanggi]

Lol. This is like a "everything is at stake" game now.

[Fake]

I hope the rankings remain the same with actuals. Then I will get 4/4 correct for the Bonus 3!BTW who got Bonus 1?

[baumer]

Too funny, right now Marigold Hotel has a drop of 39.9% from last Sunday.

[Fake]

hehe.... looking at previous Sundays though I think it should pull off sub-40% drop.BTW how are you altering the point structure for the Top-7 (now Top-6) OW? Previously there were bonuses for 5/7 correct and 7/7 correct. Now bonuses for 4/6 and 6/6 correct maybe (with less points)?

[baumer]

Honestly Fake, I'm not sure right now. I'll figure that out later......but it will be a top 6.

[Fake]

okay.....

[CJohn]

I bombed this weekend.
