baumer Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Yup.... I didn't have it in my Top-12 at first... but when Dark Shadows started looking like it could bomb and when I saw you and Shawn and baumer putting it in your Top-12s, I thought maybe there was something to it and maybe you guys knew something I didn't, and so I replaced DS with RoA. I intentionally had the lowest predict for it, but it will still be more than 100% off. I'm still hoping for a 60-70 mill finish for ROA, not enough to save me, but it will prevent me from losing more points than necessary.

I intentionally had the lowest predict for it, but it will still be more than 100% off. I just knew these movies tend to surprise... I didn't hear any buzz about the film when I chose it but with the success of Hairspray, Mamma Mia! etc, I thought "why not?" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyItsMoses Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I never answered the Top 5 WW question, so do I get a bonus question later on or am I screwed in that category? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I never answered the Top 5 WW question, so do I get a bonus question later on or am I screwed in that category?You're definitely screwed there.

HeyItsMoses Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 It's OK. The WW question does give a lot of points, but I highly doubt that anyone gets them all right and scores over 100k points from it.I should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Lol, everyone's losing 10,000 points on The Avengers worldwide. I was so sure TA would be another TDK before it came out, huge domestic but not nearly as big OS. LOL, how wrong I was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyItsMoses Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Lol, everyone's losing 10,000 points on The Avengers worldwide.Hold on, you can lose points if you don't call the Worldwide answers correctly?Guess it's better to not gain points, then to lose em.

Ariadne Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hold on, you can lose points if you don't call the Worldwide answers correctly?Guess it's better to not gain points, then to lose em. For every film you call correctly in the top 5 WW - you get 10,000 points. But you lose 10,000 points if you miss the gross by more than 100m. For every film you choose that doesn't make the top 5 you lose 7,000 points.So it's still better to go for it, in the long run most people will gain points from the WW questions. It's just no one's gaining from The Avengers - 0 points for everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ariadne Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 That sucks, I'm really surprised it's Bourne that moved, not Total Recall. I wonder if they have tracking showing more interest in Total Recall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they have tracking showing more interest in Total Recall?I would honestly believe Universal's public reasoning. They want to get as far away as possible from TDKR. I really don't expect TR to do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
