Re: KJ's 2014 Winter/Spring Box Office Contest - Overview Pg Extraordinary, Casey! A pleasure for the eyes!
Hopefully Divergent doesn't turn out to be this year's Host.
(And I don't even remember why I ended up having that big of a confidence in Endless Love...)

Re: KJ's 2014 Winter/Spring Box Office Contest - Overview Pg I thought I was being pessimistic on Vampire Academy and ended up with the highest prediction.

For Question #9, I answered "Five (movies)". Crap. Fixed as well.  I added a prediction matrix as well. Should be a good display of where you fall in terms of average predictions and total predictions.

Re: KJ's 2014 Winter/Spring Box Office Contest - Overview Pg Great graphics! It makes this one of the most fun box office games.  So I'm second most optimistic predictor and tied for most risky predictor as well. Now BK and Dr Lector can quantify my overeagerness in box office predictions!

Re: KJ's 2014 Winter/Spring Box Office Contest - Overview Pg I was thinking the same thing too, Chippy! And our predictions are wildly different too. Strange, indeed.

Re: KJ's 2014 Winter/Spring Box Office Contest - Overview Pg SolC9 and myself are close again even though this time our predictions are quite different. I am surprised that I am one of the most optimistic predictors this time better than average predictions

Re: KJ's 2014 Winter/Spring Box Office Contest - Overview Pg Great graphics!
So I'm on the average/optimistic side of predictions this time. I thought I was being pessimistic. Not that it really matters. I'm pretty good at most box office games, but this one just isn't one of them. Maybe this will be the one I do better at. (not off to a good start with Paranormal though).

Re: KJ's 2014 Winter/Spring Box Office Contest - Overview Pg Great graphics!
But also, crap, Hercules may open to my total ($10m). I don't see how. It looks terrible.
Is it just because it's January and people will see anything? This is where BO stumps me. You had movies like Broken City fail to make $10m but Hercules will?
And I'd bet if this were released in April/August/October it might not even make $5m OW.

Re: KJ's 2014 Winter/Spring Box Office Contest - Overview Pg January is kind of a gold mine for shitty releases like Hercules. Somehow they even meet the lowest expectations.

Re: KJ's 2014 Winter/Spring Box Office Contest - Overview Pg It stings my heart I am not going to receive points for Ride Along even though I predicted 100 million for it.

Cheers to those who were even more bullish. Yep everyone seemed pretty positive on this one pre-game. Though you might not be out of it yet - Ride Along could be frontloaded despite great WOM.
