I haven't seen a midnight number anywhere so I don't think so. Unless it gets reported in the weekend analysis on BOM or something.

Okay, thanks.

[baumer]

This is just a weird weekend of box office. No midnights anywhere in Canada, delayed reporting, a bomb scare on Friday afternoom, Bourne possibly falling less than 50%, TEX2 not doing well, Paranorman opening much higher than anyone thought....just strange.

SOTM 1:Which of these films will hit 100 million in the shortest amount of time? (days)1) Dictator2) The Expendables3) Prometheus4) That's my Boy5) Rock of AgesThere are some caveats to this. First, more than one film could cross the 100 mill mark at the same time. If that happens, both/either films will be the correct answers.Your answer is going to be in days. So if you think Prometheus will do it the quickest, in say 4 days, you will put Prometheus, 4 days (there is no deduction for putting the incorrect amount of days). Now, if Prometheus and another film cross in 4 days, you will still get full points for calling the correct film.Points:8000: Call the correct film to do so.-5000: call the incorrect film10,000: say none of these films will cross 100 mill this summer15,000: say all of these films will cross 100 mill this summer3000: abstainFor a 7000 point bonus, if you call the correct film, tell me the final gross of that film this summer. Get within 10 mill of the finish to get the bonus. There is no penalty for being off more than 10 mill.Answer is Prometheus in 15 days, final total for the film is 126.3 mill.Neo: 8000BK007: 8000xeno: 8000baumer: -5000goffe: 8000jakegittes: 8000iceroll: 8000spaghetti: 8000acsc: 8000darkalfred: 8000cjohn: 8000ariadne: 8000phillip: 8000cedar: 8000hallowedprince: 8000empire: 8000townzy: 8000tower: 8000tawasal: 8000movieman: 8000tyler: 8000chewy: 8000michaelgscott: dav: 8000dexter: fake: 8000bed: 8000AA: 8000gizmo: 8000adim: 8000sixteen: 800024lost: 8000junkshop: 8000narnia: 8000johnny: 8000vanilla: 8000crusader: 8000laguy: 8000shawn: 8000sims: 8000infamous: 8000Everyone but me got this right, no one came close to the gross.

Expendables really cost you, it seems.

Just a little. lol

[baumer]

Any hopes I had of finishing top three for the first time just went out the window.

[laguy03]

I can guarantee that this will be my lowest scoring week in the entire game. But I have an excuse. I flew out of town on Thursday and had no internet access that night. I really wanted to change my Expendables-related answers, which would've made a world of a difference. Oh well!

[laguy03]

baumer, I abstained from SOTM #11. You can see my post here.

[MovieMan89]

Did pretty good on those.

[baumer]

baumer, I abstained from SOTM #11. You can see my post here.

It came in way after the deadline. Almost a day late. Sorry.

[baumer]

This will me one of my worst weeks too. I have an excuse also and its because I'm a Stallone loonie and I couldn't see what almost everyone else did.

[Goffe]

Good week for me. 15 out of 20 and the bonus 1

This is a four parter:1) Will TDKR make at least 500 million domestically? NO2) Will TDKR make more than 580 million internationally? NO3) Will TDKR do at least 40 million for midnights? NO4)) Will TDKR make at least 1.1 billion WW? NOScoring: All questions you answer correctly are worth 7000 points. You can go for as many as you like.Here is the catch: Every answer you call incorrectly you lose 10,000 points.There are no points for abstaining, with one caveat down below. ***Even more bonus and more treachery:If you go 4/4 you get a 28,000 point bonus. So this means you will get a total of 56,000 points for this question (7000X4 plus 28,000 point bonus)However, if you go for all 4 you must get all four correct. If you get even one incorrect, you will lose 15,000 points. So what this means is, if you go for all four and even if you get 3/4 correct, not only will you NOT get the 11,000 but you will lose a full 15,000 points.BK007: -15,000XENO: -15,000BAUMER: -15,000GOFFE: -15,000JAKE: -15,000ICEROLL: 7,000SPAGHETTI: -15,000ACSC: -15,000DARK ALFRED: -15,000CJOHN: 5000ARIADNE: -15,000PHILLIP: 5000CEDAR: 5000HALLOWED: -15,000TOWNZY: -15,000TOWER: 21,000MOVIEMAN: -15,000TYLER: -15,000CHEWY: -15,000MGS: -15,000DEXTER: 56,000!!!FAKE: 5000BED: 5000AA: 56,000GIZMO: 5000ADIM: -15,000SIXTEEN: -15,00024LOST: 14,000JUNKSHOP: -15,000NARNIA: -15,000JOHNNY: 5000JAJANG: 56,000LAGUY: 21,000SHAWN: -15,000SIMS: -15,000INFAMOUS: -15,000

Ouch ouch and more ouch....

I'd with the China release before scoring this. Just in case a certain film breaks out.

Would require 50M+ from China...... very difficult.Congrats to AA, Dex and Jajang for the amazing calls.

^From all the points you mentioned for me, at the end I just get...6k points. :/+8000-5000+10000+8000-15000Damn, TDKR just fucked my shit up.

[baumer]

It has one weekend in China while playing with a 3D superhero film. It's not going to make that much in one weekend.
