Shit, I meant that PAddington would gross the closest to its predecessor and Super Troopers 2 would fall the most oh well.

Yep - sorry. Your post on the first page didn't have an answer for #4, but you did answer #5. I still think you have a great shot of getting #5 right though.

I think Question #3 will be voided because The War of Grandpa will move out. But my provided answer (which was not included in the chart) was Peter Rabbit and Sherlock Gnomes.


Yeah there's no way it doesn't move.

Great job with the charts again MGKC.

I regret my Blockers prediction almost immediately. I think it breaks out.

Major turnaround for Chippy. Has he been studying box office in his absence?

How are some people ranking high every game? Don’t people ever get lucky or unlucky? How do people predict so consistently well?

Some people are good at predicting box office. Seems obvious, but that's the answer. And I got lucky a few games back with back-to-back wins, so that also happens.

Then there is a group like me who generally stays at the bottom of the draw.

Actually, I think one of the main components is to care. I suspect your Vanillas and exxdee13s and Jonathans care more about predicting than the rest, and therefore spend more time on it, and in return get better results.

Exactly! I don’t care enough so I always lose this.

It just seems like something everyone should learn over time. Disappointed that I’ve only peaked at 4 in my first game.

All my predictions are always nailed to a tee, but MGKC uses alternative fact numbers and those are the ones you see on his chart.
