Results and Standings (Fake increases lead, Cedar jumps, 24lost solidifies)

I am not understanding what is happening with question 7. Why am I losing 10000 points?

You already lost 10,000 points, we all did. But now that tDKR hit a billion, we get 25,000 points back.

[iceroll]

I also answered yes to Question 7. (first page)

[baumer]

Ok, guys, question 7 is irrelevant at this point. If it is going to change the scoring or positioning, I'll make sure I score it, but right now it is a formality. I'll have the top 11 done by tomorrow, then the weekend scores, then the final SOTM question. If at that time by taking away 25,000 from Bed and Spaghetti affects positioning, I will certainly tend to pre season 7. But in all likelihood, it will not.

[CJohn]

I also answered Yes. So, I lost 10000 points, but now I get 25000? Thank you China.

[The Dark Alfred]

Pep, if it's only 2 people it makes more sense to just deduct the point from then. However TDKR hit 85m in the UK as well, so that might require more changes.

[iceroll]

Do you have a link for that? BOM still says 83m for TDKR in UK.

[MovieMan89]

Could TDKR end up at $580m by tomorrow, or will we not get an update on its OS for Labor day? It's at $574m as of today.

83M is after last weekend.

[iceroll]

Could still be under 85m this weekend.

[The Dark Alfred]

TDKR should be close to 87m. It hit 85m even before the weekend.

Unless i have proof that its at 85 we cant count it. I hope it is at 85 as that will help me as well.

[The Dark Alfred]

Well it's at £54.5m. Don't know what currency exchange BOM is using week by week, but it's a fact that it's over 85m. It stood at £52.5m/$83m last weekend and it did £2m this weekend, so unless the dollar became stronger than the British sterling, TDKR flew past 85m.

[Fake]

Yes. TDKR seems to have crossed 85M.... we should wait for the actuals though........ (we won't get anything official, but we can extrapolate from GBP grosses).

[baumer]

Guys, you have to understand, I'm all for TDKR hitting 85 mill, I took yes to that question. But the game goes by either Mojo, SD or Variety or some other publication. I know Alfred has access to Rentrk and that should be official, but I need a published source that says it passed 85 mill in UK.I'm sure you can appreciate this.

[Fake]

okay..... so we will go by whatever number BOM has (should be updated tomorrow).

[baumer]

Yes should be updated tomorrow.

8) Will TDKR make more that Bourne? YES

I think the answer to that question is no because Bourne made more than TDKR this weekend.

SOTM 12: Everyone got it right so it will not be scored as it will not change any of the standings.SOTM 13: By the end of the game, will the 6 new wide releases left (http://boxofficemojo.com/schedule/) total up to more than 100 million dollars?There are several ways to get points.Answer correctly about the gross: 10,000 pointsAnswer incorrectly: lose 5000 pointsTime bonus: Answer by Sunday August 26th at 9pm, and if you are correct, receive a 7000 point bonusAnswer by Friday August 31st at 3AM board time, and you are correct receive a 3000 point bonusAnything after the 3AM deadline will not be counted.Total bonus: You also have the opportunity to predict any of this weekends releases totals by the end of the game. The catch is this:The films totals must be answered by Monday August 27th at 9pm and in order to get points, you have to be pin point accurate.Call any films total by the end of the game, and be within 2 mill, get a 7500 point bonus per film.If you are off by more than 2 mill, you will lose 15,000 points per film.You can go for all three (Apparition, Premium Rush and Hit and Run), you can go for some, you can go for none. This is a very big chance at some very big points. But you can lose a lot as well. Abstain from all of this, get 5000 points.PART A: No they will not add up to 100 millTime Bonus:Predictions: Apparition: 4.383 Premium Rush: 13.455 Hit and Run: 10.75
