11/13 so far, plus 3/5 in bonus 3. Not great not awful

[Ariadne]

Fucking shenanigans from Sony. That $850,000 they miraculously found has pushed the total to $75,017,570! Bullshit.

[Sims]

I'm still not sure that it's fair to include the 850K for that question, which only concerns the first three days. BOM considers the first three days to be Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and counts Monday as "day 0." I'm not going to throw a hissy fit if I don't get credit for the question, but really it should have been specified.

That's not my fault. There was never supposed to be any sneaks for this film and when I tweeted Ray and asked him if he would separate the Monday gross, he said "No, it'll be such an insignificant number that it won't be worth for me to worry about" So don't blame this one me. The 850K, imo is not part of the 3 day, therefore, it should not be counted.

So what are you saying is the correct answer to the 75m question then?

[Ariadne]

Technically the correct answer is yes. Because the question wasn't what was the Tue-Thu gross but what will the gross be after Thu actuals. Not that I believe it really hit 75m, but we have to go by the numbers reported.

This (but I do believe it hit 75m )

[Ariadne]

This (but I do believe it hit 75m )

Just like TF2 really hit 200m for the 5-day. Yeah sure.

[baumer]

Technically the correct answer is yes. Because the question wasn't what was the Tue-Thu gross but what will the gross be after Thu actuals. Not that I believe it really hit 75m, but we have to go by the numbers reported.

YES you are correct. I just reread the question. It does not specify the three day, just actuals. So the answer is YES.

I'm going to score Preseason Bonus 1. Seeking a Friend is going to make less than 8 mill.

[Jake Gittes]

What's actually hilarious is that Seeking a Friend has already closed.http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=seekingafriend.htmIt's supposed to be in 88 theaters this weekend as per the theater counts, but looks like Focus Features decided that they might as well stop tracking it.

[baumer]

Wow, that's funny.

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

I knew I should have stuck with Seeking. Oh well, hell, I just missed this week's batch of questions and I'm moving again so, it was fun while it lasted.

[HeyItsMoses]

With half the players losing 5,000 points, and me gaining 15,000; I'm liking my odds, more and more.

Edit: btw, shouldn't me and Dav have 20,000 points? Cause 10k for getting it right, and an extra 10k for being within $5m?

"FOR AN ADDITIONAL 10,000 Tell me, within 5 million dollars, what its gross will be."?

Yes, so for those who don't believe me, things can change in a hurry here.

I may be the only one to get the Savages over 15m question right.
