Dementeleus Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I think PR is more entertaining and engaging -- especially for the GA -- than the HELLBOYs. It may not be as acclaimed critically or by the GDT fans, but the mere fact it has likable, human main characters means a boost over HB.

Sam Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Question 15: Will Monster's University be the top grossing animated film this year in any of these three regions: (so even if it is in one of them, your answer is yes) Japan China South Korea Do we count local releases? Miyazaki 's The Wind Rises will be huge in Japan. I think only Hollywood releases are counted, and that should be the case. I answered YES to the question so it's better be 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tower Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 If i said that i was mustaken. Only Hollywood films count. I gave a list at tge beginning of the game as to what movies we are using. I wasn't sure, that's why I asked you and you did answer back and said that local films count, that is the only reason I didn't answer yes, otherwise the answer is pretty obvious as no other Hollywood film was ever going to pass MU in Japan.

The Wind Rises is a local animated movie and it'll make way more than MU in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 I'm only counting Hollywood movies and there are two other markets as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 He's right though. The Wind Rises is a local animated movie and it'll make way more than MU in Japan.Y'all are missing te point. He isn't asking for each territory just if it will be tops in 1! It won't be #1 in japan but will it be #1 in either of the other two? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 1. Iron Man 3 $400.8m - within $10m, great 2. Star Trek $354m - total misfire 3. Monsters $302.9m - likely going to be within $30m, alright 4. Man of Steel $277.1m - within $20m, well done 5. Fast & Furious 6 $240.5m - within $5m, perfect 6. Despicable Me 2 $228.1m - total misfire 7. Pacific Rim $202.7m - almost certainly will lose points on it 8. The Hangover $175.6m - misfire 9. White House Down $165.7m - total misfire 10. Turbo $165.1m - a likely misfire 11. The Heat $159.3m - almost certain I'm gonna hit the spot here 12. The Wolverine $145m - can hardly imagine this not being close, unless it completely flops 13. After Earth $141.5m - total misfire 14. Epic $138m - alright, but will lose points if it misses the top 15 15. The Lone Ranger $127.6m - same as #14 It does kinda hurt how I picked a few totally wrong movies to break out (WHD, AE, to an extent PR) at the expense of Gatsby, WWZ and GU2. And it's cruelly ironic how STID is going to make almost exactly what I predicted for DM2 ($228m) while DM2 should end up pretty close to my STID prediction ($354m). Damn, if only I could swap those two predictions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I'm only counting Hollywood movies and there are two other markets as well MU is released in September in SK and only has 2 weeks in China. And you did say locals also count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 MU is released in September in SK and only has 2 weeks in China. And you did say locals also count. I'm taking it back. There are other territories this question counts for. If there is going to be too much controversy with this question, then I'll just scrap it. I'll even make up a new one.

Olive Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I don't know. But I would not abstain that question if you didn't say local movies count. Neither would some members else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 I try to make questions without controversy. I didn't think this one through properly. I can just scrap the question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
