Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Apr 1
Most (if not all) answers and projected box office grosses should be known now. Update! Update! Update! Interesting fact: zwackerm and exdee have never finished in the final three of this game.

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Apr 1
I'll be monitoring Isle of Dogs this weekend. If it passes $31.5 million, it changes the top 3 ranking. 90% shot that it doesn't, but this weekend's gross should confirm it.
Otherwise - this is likely going to be the closest finish we've ever had!

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Apr 1
Not over yet. Plus looks like Wrinkle in Time and Isle of Dogs is getting expanded this weekend, so that could throw off a few things (especially if Wrinkle in Time can pass Fifty Shades Freed).

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Apr 1
Going to come down whether or not Wrinkle in Time / Rampage can pass $100 million and Fifty Shades Freed.
A Wrinkle in Time did lose 88% of its theaters this weekend, but some fishy number-pushing could happen next week with Disney's Solo.

Wrinkle and Rampage are NOT hitting 100m. End this madness!

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Apr 1
Wrinkle dropped 90% this weekend after push from Disney. Rampage dropped hard this weekend and should continue to do so in next few weekends as well. It barely crossed $1.5m with a total of $92m it's not going to reach there even with all the family boost.

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Apr 1
Disney still has a chance to artificially increase A Wrinkle in Time's gross with Solo's release this weekend, since they're from the same studio.
I totally agree with you both - but my goal is to avoid having to fix a contest's final results. A Wrinkle in Time's gross can affect the final ranking.

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Apr 1
I am still wary of Disney shenanigans with Incredibles 2 and Wrinkle in Time double-features, but with its DVD release on June 5, I *think* I can call this. Results should be up later this weekend.

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Apr 1
A Wrinkle in Time increased this weekend despite losing theaters. I'm guessing Disney fudged a little bit, but really it was pointless. They're still far away. Are there confirmed double-features with Incredibles 2? I'd have thought the obvious double-feature for I2 would be Infinity War or Bland Panther.

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Apr 1
Nothing confirmed - that's just how I could see them getting it to $100 million. It is odd that it increased this weekend despite still being fairly far away.

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Apr 1
Yeah. This weekend it would have made more sense to nudge Wrinkle over the century than to get Solo to $84m instead of $82m. Not that they could've bumped Wrinkle that much anyway. That would have been too obvious. They're obviously playing the long game. Add a couple of hundred thousand each time they have a new release (which is often) to nudge it over. That being said, this game cannot go on until November.

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Apr 1
Don’t forget to add my Pacific Rim prediction back in. Won’t make any difference at the top but the 3 extra points will make me feel better about myself. And as always, thanks for all you do.

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Apr 1
Thanks Flava'd - I've done that on my spreadsheet now.
-----------------------------------------
I still don't feel comfortable ending this just yet, as the #1 winner could change (unlikely as it is). I'm giving it two more weekends, until after The Incredibles 2 opens to review this again. (Only reason: Zootopia saw a large increase in its 16th weekend when Finding Dory opened.)
However, to satisfy some of your appetites for points updates, here are some possibilities going forward that impact the top 5 ranking:
A Wrinkle in Time passes $100 million (but not Fifty Shades of Grey's $100.4 million gross). Isle of Dogs does not pass $31.5 million. (1% CHANCE) #1: exxdee13 - 38 pts #2: zwackerm - 38 pts #3: Magic Mike - 37 pts #4: i.hope - 37 pts #5: MGKC - 35 pts

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Apr 1
And here it is....A Wrinkle in Time expands to 245 cinemas. Disney's strategy to push it over $100m by using some of that Incredibles 2 money.
Kudos on waiting, KC.

Looks like Disney is going after that drive-in/ double feature with Incredible's money.

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Apr 1
Oh boy, Isle of Dogs already passed 31.5m. Wrinkle in Time already pass 100m, and close to 100.4m. Might I lose against a 1% chance? lol

Not just that, you'd be tied with pts with Mike but still lose. Ouch.
