acsc1312 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Week 2 Last week, we saw the beginning of what's sure to be a strong first season of Box Office War. Unfortunately, Jim fell just short of making it through to week 2, and had to go home too soon. As I've mentioned before, this game uses different formats each week for an added twist. Because of this, there is a different scoring format, as well as the introduction of points! These points can be used many different ways. The purchase of immunities, special powers, etc. We had some very strong scores this week with the addition of Oscar prognostication questions. For an unfortunate few, however, reading too quickly through questions cost them some major percentage points. Tricky questions are there for a reason, please read each question carefully Let's get to the bonuses, shall we? OW Olympiad: Snitch's 3 day gross Same awards as last week. Actual: 13.17m GOLD: Alfred- 12.54 5% bonus next week, immune this week SILVER: ChD- 13.89 1% bonus next week, immune this week BRONZE: Punishment- 12.50 immune this week Bonus 2: The Snitch's placement in the Rock's OW Actual: 15th place Anybody who correctly predicted this gets 2% added to their weekly score Edited February 26, 2013 by acsc1312 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Oh come on, both of the bonuses just had to involve the one film I screwed up on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punishment Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hey acsc, I'm pretty sure I predicted 12.5m for Snitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) You were asked to predict the following: The difference between Dark Skies' OW gross and 14.83: 6.64 3. It's Oscar Weekend! Which Oscar nominee will have the highest 3 day PTA? Unclear, thrown out. Die Hard 5's % drop from last weekend (3 day): 59.1% Part 2 Worth 1000 points each. All percentage drops are from last weekend's 3 day grosses 1. Will Safe Haven remain in the top 4? YES 2. Will Escape From Planet Earth drop OVER or UNDER 37.5%? UNDER 3. Will Silver Linings Playbook drop less than 6%? NO Part 3- Oscar Special! These questions test your Oscar smarts and box office smarts! Predict the Best Picture winner's domestic gross through Sunday: 129.65 Best Director's film gross this weekend: 1.61 Domestic gross of the Best Actress winner's film through Sunday: 107.18 Team BOA ChD: 62.4 Alfred: 50.3 JackO: 77.07 CEDAR: 88.79 riczhang: 74.95 RichWS: 55.79 fanboy: 44.15 (Placeholder) Totem: 44.15 (Placeholder) Team Average: 62.2 Team Survivor: Spaghetti: 77.3 CJohn: 67.71 Punishment: 88.01 4815162342: 90.43 Goffe: 44.16 Iceroll: 70.82 ClaireHolt: 44.15 Team Average: 68.94 Team BSG Edward: 77.3 Fakhir: 44.15 DoctorWho: 70.2 Michael G Scott: 88.28 Glassfairy: 78.93 Gopher: 44.15 (placeholder) tylerdurden365: 44.15 (placeholder) Simionski: 49.15 (5% bonus from last week, placeholder) Team Average: 62.04 Congrats, Team Survivor!

acsc1312 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) You may be asking yourself, "What about part 2 this week? Where are those scores?" Well, that's where the points come in. You get anywhere from 0-3000 points, depending on how you answered the questions (each 1000 translates to 10 points). Here are those results (and other point additions due to being a great predictor). Edward: 30 CJohn: 30 4815162342: 30+10 for highest score this week= 40 Goffe: 30 CEDAR: 20+5 for getting 100% on SLP's domestic gross+ 5 for second highest score this week= 30 Punishment: 20+ 5 for getting 100% on SLP's domestic gross= 25 MGS: 20+ 2 for third highest score this week= 22 glassfairy: 20 iceroll: 20 Riczhang: 20 DoctorWho: 20 JackO: 20 Spaghetti: 20 ChD: 20 Alfred: 10 Edited February 26, 2013 by acsc1312 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 THE CHALLENGE: Numbers, since you have the highest score this week, you get to choose which THREE players go into the challenge this week. I need you to send me a list of your rankings of who you'd like to see in the challenge. You may select anyone from Team BOA and Team BSG, so long as they are not immune (in blue). Everyone else not in bold blue or on Team Survivor: Immunity costs 25 points this week. PLEASE PM ME if you have enough points, and would like to use them on immunity. I will not be sending out reminder PMs for this, so do it quickly. YOU MUST PM ME BY 3PM CENTRAL TIME ON TUESDAY IF YOU'D LIKE TO BUY AN IMMUNITY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, I only knew to pick riczhang and JackO because of you inviting me into Box Office Alliance as a guest "boss" for the final round(s).
