Hiccup Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Probably not. Maybe...Since it got nominated for BP it could get a re-expansion. In fact that is what my studio will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiccup Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I remember reading somewhere that Oscars won't affect box office runs... Not sure, though... might've misread or just imagined it Winning an Oscar doesn't affect the run much if at all. I am talking about the nomination bump since it got BP, Ensemble, Actress, and Supporting Actress which are big categories. Nomination's do affect the box office to a degree (Life of Pi, Agro, Django Unchained, and Silver Lining Playbooks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I think Careful Laid Plans will have a leggy run, especially with its Oscar noms. It's already expanded much better than Empty Hearth and should continue to perform well into December. I think it has a very good chance at breaking 100 million.

Ezen Baklattan Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 It's not cheating. It's just that no one has really tried it before. I'll definitely take it into consideration when calculating Totals, holdover weekends from Y7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Now that we're kinda talking about actuals. I was actually mulling over an idea. I was thinking that I'd use a random number generator to determine random events such as weather catastrophes, and breakouts. I was thinking that I'd have 4 weather catastrophes a year, and I'd use a generator to get a number between 1 and 52. Then whatever number will be whatever week of the year will have a weather catastrophe. I could also use the generator to randomly assign which part of the US is affected, and how severely. I was also thinking of using the generator to randomly make 2 movies breakout and 2 movies disappoint. I'll just assign each movie a number based on their release. (ie. 1st movie of the year will have the #1 and etc.) Then the generator spits out a number and that movie will perform very well, or very poorly. I thought this way it'd add more fun into the game, and realism because sometimes weather problems happen, and sometimes movies do very well, or very poorly for no apparent reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
