#ED Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Baumer, so basically ALL OF THURSDAY will count towards our OW predictions(preseason)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarpoint1111 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Speaking of biases my IM3 bias killed me in multiple ways, luckily for the weeklies I only let my bias influence a couple questions. Biases are killed in this game and I'm really starting to worry about a few films. Everyone's fucked for OW questions though, so at least we're all in this together Great now I want to watch HSM.Why are we all fucked? Did I miss something?

acsc1312 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'm brand new to the game, but it cracks me up how quickly people wanna throw in the towel! It's been two weeks. Doesn't this game go on for five months? Welcome to the fuckin party. When numbers come out, well then everybody loses their mind!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattrek Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Why are we all fucked? Did I miss something?For top 7 OW questions we are. Both star trek and hangover 3 moved to a Thursday opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarpoint1111 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 For top 7 OW questions we are. Both star trek and hangover 3 moved to a Thursday opening.Thursday counts as part of the weekend gross though. Baumer said somewhere on first post that if a movie moves to an earlier date, it's gross from Thursday to Sunday will count as the weekend gross. Most people already have Star Trek as second highest weekend and this gives it an extra day to get there. We are probably screwed with hangover though...

TylerDurden365 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Hey, it could be worse with these movies moving up to Thursday. We could have gotten GI Joe'd again. That made last year's game all kinds of wonky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#ED Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Tell me what films will finish with the 7 best opening weekends domestically. Opening weekends will include any films gross that starts at midnight on Thursday (so this can include a Thursday opening if applicable) and culminates with the Sunday gross. One caveat to this is that if a film changes it's release date, only the gross from Thursday to Sunday will count. So for example, if Iron Man 3 suddenly decides that it wants to open on a Wednesday, only the gross from Thursday to Sunday will count. There will be no exceptions to this.Thursday opening is applicable here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Goddammit, why do these studios wait till so last minute to go with Thursday showings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Thank you Ed. I dont remember all the rules.That makes sense....it was made that way to protect us from these kinds of situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattrek Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 That's not even good news though. It just means the weekends will be higher then we predicted and it'll still screw up our scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Isn't the top 7 ranking without gross? Why are we freaking out so much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarpoint1111 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 No because we were never told to predict grosses, just placement. Most people predicted Star Trek 2nd and this move practically guarantees it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattrek Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Isn't the top 7 ranking without gross? Why are we freaking out so much?Yes it is, but it will change the order of films due to the gross being increased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had to predict highest OD/Fri, then it'd be a real game changer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
