kitik Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 So I took a look at who people were voting for on the "5 lowest-grossing" question. Here are the numbers I have, though I'm sure I missed a few, so these numbers probably aren't exact: The To-Do List - 39 The Purge - 38 Big Wedding - 27 We're The Millers - 25 Paranoia - 21 Peeples - 18 The Conjuring - 13 The Internship - 10 Now You See Me - 4 Kick-Ass 2 - 3 Planes - 3 Great Gatsby - 1 Pain and Gain - 1 RIPD - 1 This Is The End - 1 300 2 - 4 Mortal Instruments - 2 The Worlds End - 2 The Spectacular Now - 2 (The bottom 4 are not wide releases during the timeframe, though there's an argument to be made that the 300 sequel should count as a zero-grosser, since it was listed as a wide release at the time of the question.) -The folks who voted for Pain And Gain and The Great Gatsby are already wrong. -I'm surprised that The Internship hit double digits. -The 18 players who voted for Peeples are pretty much locked to get that one right. -The 27 votes for The Big Wedding are probably going to have to wait until the very end of the game to see if they were right or not.

Olive Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I did choose Peeples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitik Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Baumer, if you're looking for a suggestion regarding the 300 sequel, I would suggest changing the question from "5 lowest-grossing wide releases of the summer" to something more like "5.1 lowest grossing". Score the 5 lowest wide releases that are actually released, as you would otherwise, but then also give credit to the 4 people that were smart enough to know that 300 was such a stinker that it would be pulled from the schedule.

Cedarpoint1111 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 You don't lose points for being wrong so who cares really? Take it as a win you didn't lose points since 300 would probably have made more than enough to disqualify itself from 5 lowest grossing films of summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druv10 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I didn't do well with the questions but did awesome with the bonus questions. I nailed 72.5M weekend and 950M WW for IM3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tower Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 OZ stayed in the top 10? WTF!? It was number 8 last weekend, so it shouldn't be surprising, it's still playing in the drive-ins with IM3 so just like John carter had a normal drop in Avengers second weekend, so did this.

Mattrek Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 The purge is going to kill people. It's constantly in the top 5 for tweets and Facebook fan additions. I'm surprised so many people chose it. It looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 The purge is going to kill people. It's constantly in the top 5 for tweets and Facebook fan additions. I'm surprised so many people chose it. It looks great I don't know anyone in real life who even knows it exists. Reading too much into facebook or tweets for movies like that can be misleading. I am wishing I hadn't put it at #1 on my list though. Thinking it will be more along the lines of #4-6 lowest grossers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Peeples really put a dent in my bottom 5, I should have done more research because I thought it would be one of his "canon" movies that consistently do 20m OW and finish around 40-50m. :/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Online buzz at least guarantees a 10-15m OW, but when the marketing ramps up I'm willing to bet it'll do over 20m OW and 50m+ DOM. The trailer is very effective and it will translate when the film starts being advertised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
