Ha. I majorly fluked last week with best ever 6th, this week it bounces back with 66% 247th. Karma!

Congrats Sparkle for all-time No. 1 ranking! The average ranking is more than excellent, and you should be up there for quite a while.
Brandon continues to make a serious charge in the yearly race. Hopefully us top 5 can hold him off.
Zing is still in position to win the month.

No forecast from Brandon, and his Derby entry isn't in either.

His forecast finally went up, well after we had Friday numbers. If his predictions were really good I'd have to protest, but they aren't all that good.

Jeff, his forecast was up well before any friday numbers. I recall seeing it at 2-3pm my time yesterday. So, around 8-9am est.

Really? I could have sworn I looked at the forecast page around the time when SBD numbers came in and didn't see it...

I remember reading yours and Amos' posts about this in this thread when got on KJ yesterday, and then checking BOM...and it was there. Could it be that it was removed then again put there?
In any case, his forecast sucks so think it's safe to assume he didn't know friday numbers.

Does this thread need to be a sticky thread? Doesn't seem like there's much discussion, and the link can always go in the archive thread. Just a thought.

Personally, I'd leave just thread archive thread as sticky, with prediction/crowd reports threads. Maybe not even them.
In general, don't like sticky threads, and for me they make the first page a bit ugly.
I'm not worried if they'd get lost if unstickied, they generate enough interest to stay on first page.

18 pages is a lot of discussion.

True, but 18 pages in a year really isn't.

That's mainly because discussion doesn't happen in this thread between Tuesday and Saturday, and most of it happens on Sunday/Monday, when scores are being calculated and such.
Meh. There's only a few stickies in this section, but since someone already unstickied it, whatever.

That would be ideal for the 4 people who comment in this thread to visit the archive thread on the two days that they post here, wouldn't it? It just seems to be needless clutter.
Thanks for unstickying it. It'll be easy enough to find if anybody needs it, but I always found it a bit strange to have a sticky thread about another site's box office game, and it does kinda make a forum unfriendly to potential members in my opinion.

Now I'm at four consecutive weeks with a worse ranking than the previous twelve.  At least my streak of top 100 finishes is still intact (I hope I'm not jinxing myself by saying that)...
