Sorry Alfred, sadly can't do this. The goal of the game was to get everyone's predictions before the start of the summer. I will tally your points just for fun, like my predictions.

I should have some stats on everyone's predictions in a couple of days.

Whoops, you're right. I was using the Spring box office game as the engine, so it probably added only the first 10 movies. I'm not at my computer, so I'll have to fix it tonight.

My chance of winning has fallen to 0% after Shrek's ugly OD.

Meh, it's just one movie and most everyone is gonna miss it. I bet question #4 is locked up too now (Which will be bigger - Eclipse's first day or Shrek Forever After's opening weekend?).

Flava'd did predict $215 million for it, which is going to be wicked close.

Hate to be a pain, but I did change a couple of my picks right before the deadline. One of which would put me into the right with Robin Hood, but into the fail zone with Persia.

Quote:
Changing two of my gross picks:

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - $88 (old) to $132 (new)
Robin Hood - $76 (old) to $115 (new)

Which also means the total number of summer $100 million grossers will go up from 14 to 16.

Thanks, skipped over that little post when taking in the predictions. Just pray Robin Hood eases past $105 million. :thumbsup:

Finally, predict the following films' total gross. If you get within $10 million of the actual total, you get 3 points!

The A-Team - 75m
The Karate Kid - 150m
Iron Man 2 - 415m
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - 125m
Robin Hood - 85m
Sex and the City 2 - 110m
Shrek 4 - 325m


Bar Shrek and IM2, I can't believe my insanely revised predictions are actually working!

Heh, just The Karate Kid and The A-Team are gonna seal this one. Only 7 people picked the sum of the three being bigger than Iron Man 2.
