4815162342 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Bippity, Boppity, Bomb! WB's BURT WONDERSTONE was incredibly limp, rolling out w/ just $3.7M in its debut. Harmony Korine's SPRING BREAKERS scored a ridiculous $100k in just 3 theaters yesterday. Party on, Wayne. https://www.facebook.com/ercboxoffice?ref=stream Well fuck fuck fuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 By the way acsc, can we have an update on how many "points" each player has for purchasing immunities, etc. After week 3 I had 65, so after Week 4 I should have 95 since I got all 3 Part 2 questions right.

acsc1312 Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Yes, I will do that probably tomorrow, but definitely Monday with scores. Also, there may or may not be a huge surprise this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glassfairy Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Well at least no one will get the prediction right. doubt anyone predicted 100k 3Day PTA. I predicted 50k. I was going to go higher but I decided to play it safe. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 SHIT, I'm such a fucking idiot. For the question about DMD, I managed to mistype my answer and write 7.285 million despite it having grossed 7.24 by this Wednesday..... I meant to write 9.285 million and that would've been spot on.

acsc1312 Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Week 5 After an epic battle between tylerdurden and Alfred, we said goodbye to tyler. I said there might be a big surprise coming this week, but more on that later. Looks like that Spring Breakers PTA kinda killed you guys this week, huh? Let's get to the Olympiad first. OW Olympiad: The Incredible Burt Wonderstone's OW Actual: 10.18 GOLD: Glassfairy- 9.39 5% bonus next week, immune this week SILVER: Fakhir- 11.0 1% bonus next week, immune this week BRONZE: riczhang- 11.56 immune this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acsc1312 Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) You were asked to predict the following: Part 1 The Call's Saturday gross minus its Friday gross- .664m Spring Breakers' 3 day PTA- 87,667 Oz's Sunday drop FROM LAST SUNDAY- 47.1% Dead Man Down's domestic cume through Sunday- 9.37 Part 2- 10 points each 1. Will Oz drop O/U 55%? UNDER 2. How many films will gross more than 10m this weekend? 3 3. Will The Call open top 3? YES Part 3: Placements- 1% point each added to this week's score 1- Oz 3- Burt Wonderstone 5- Identity Thief 7- 21&Over 12- TLE2 Team A Spaghetti: 82.86 Simionski: 78.71 CEDAR: 59.51 Team Average: 73.69 Team B ChD- 55.92 Punishment- 59.46 Glassfairy- 63.98 Team Average: 59.78 Team C Alfred: 74.28 Iceroll: 58.95 Michael G Scott: 44.81 Team Average: 59.35 Team D riczhang: 76.19 CJohn: 28.74 DoctorWho: 77.91 Team Average: 60.95 Team E 4815162342: 75.79 Goffe: 28.73 (placeholder) Fakhir: 56.47 Team Average: 53.66 Wait, what?! That's right, we are now broken up into 5 teams of 3! With the exception of Team E, all teams have one player from each "game". Also, if you want to be referred to as something other than TEAM 'LETTER', you'll need to let me know. I will be creating a new PM for each Team to correspond with me. Spaghetti, once again, you were the highest score of the week, and therefore get to pick three players for elimination this week. Points will be updated in a few minutes so you know where you guys sit. Strikes (3 and you're out!)

4815162342 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Suspicious of the timing of the sudden team change-up. Convenient to happen after final numbers come in. Especially since we have no way of knowing how the teams were chosen or when they were chosen. And yes I am saying this because I wound up with a no-show and ended up with the worst team score as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes I am saying this because I wound up with a no-show and ended up with the worst team score as a result. I meant to clarify in my post. I chose teams without looking at any scores. picked one person from each team until I had you, goffe, and fakhir left. I said there was gonna be a change up Saturday, so it's not like I just made my decision today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Fair enough, but the method of choosing how to pick a person from each team is opaque and still invites some skepticism. Was it totally random, was it trying to balance teams with prediction skills, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I was wondering why my score was so high lol, 1% added for each correct category placing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it totally random, was it trying to balance teams with prediction skills, etc. I tried to make is as random as possible. If I noticed a team had three players who consistently do well, I tried to change it up without fully messing with the system. For example, I would not have put you, spaghetti, and say CEDAR on the same team, as you all scored above 90% last week. Also, I think I did pretty well, considering three teams were withing 1 point of each other. Edited March 19, 2013 by acsc1312 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I think the highest scorers of each team should be immune. I don't fancy facing a possible elimination against Numbers when both of us had decent scores in our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
