Doesn't matter. It wasn't her first posting.

Its a moot point, but if that post was the first post then the answer would have been yes.

[#ED]

There's a lot of scoring to do. Holy fuck.

 

+ this weeks questions.

 

Baumer should get paid for this.

Hey B before you go can I get some clarification on the make up questions?1) Will This is the End make more than 5 mill on Wednesday (includes midnights/early) on TuesI read that as more then 5m on Tuesday.And also this is confusing:10) Will film in the top 12 will have the best Tuesday increase?I read that as will a film in the top 12 have the best Tuesday increase out of all films in release.

[Jake Gittes]

56,000 + 32,000 (SOTM6) = 88,000 for me this week. 

[Michael Gary Scott]

If anyone wants to do my scores I would not object lol.

[Sam]

Let's see, Week 8 + Individuals + SOTM6 = 66k for me this week. Not bad, but nothing to gloat about 

[kitik]

Just a reminder everybody: besides the weekly (and indiv/makeup) questions, Baumer will also probably be scoring SOTM3, SOTM5, and SOTM6 this week.

[Dementeleus]

Still the same for me:

 

this week's questions: 49,000

 

SOTM 3: -8,000

SOTM 5: 15,000

SOTM 6: 32,000

[#ED]

Just a reminder everybody: besides the weekly (and indiv/makeup) questions, Baumer will also probably be scoring SOTM3, SOTM5, and SOTM6 this week.

For now, I think we should post only our BSG weekly question scores.

Will Nikki's first posting about MOS contain the phrase "NOT A RECORD" or mention anything that resembles MOS not setting any kind of record? 

FRIDAY 7 AM UPDATE: Not even torrential downpours in NYC could dampen enthusiastic crowds forming long lines for Thursday late shows. Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures just announced its hotly anticipated Man Of Steel opened with a midnight show of $9 million. Combined with $12M from a corporate group sale screening program at 7 PM, this third Superman franchise begins its North American run with a cume of $21M. “Off to a flying start!!!” A studio exec gushed to me just now. The number ranks 7th among late show records, behind only theHarry Potter and Twilight franchises, but ahead of The Hunger Games. It’s also the all-time highest superhero late show record, surpassing The Avengers’remarkable $18.7M and The Dark Knight‘s $18.5M. The more equal comparison would be June 2005′s Batman Begins which was the first of the trilogy and grossed $1.6M at midnight while June 2006′s Superman Returns reboot made $4.9M and July 2012′s The Amazing Spider-Man redo earned $7.5M. Of course, any such record must come with an asterisk because Hollywood studios recently have interpreted ‘midnights’ as beginning at 7 PM Thursday through midnight and sometimes into early dawn. So that prevents any accurate movie-to-movie direct comparison of late show grosses. IMAX hauled in $1.6M domestic from Man Of Steel late shows from 327 North American locations.
