Re: KJ's Fall 2014 Box Office Contest - Updated Standings 1/ Well, I'm pretty sure this is going to come down to whether or not The Imitation Game can pass $100 million or not.

With the screenplay win and the Cumberpatch screentime last night, it very well could! _________________trixster wrote: shut the fuck up zwackerm, you're out of your fucking element trixster wrote: chippy is correct

Re: KJ's Fall 2014 Box Office Contest - FINAL STANDINGS Pg 1 Various thoughts after looking through stats:
-This felt like the first game in quite a while where the Top #5 wasn't completely unpredictable. Really close call on someone finally breaking the streak.
-American Sniper almost made more than all 12 other movies in Question #10. ($348 million vs. $354 million)
-Only 8 movies broke expectations this season: Alexander and the Terrible Day, Annabelle, Dracula Untold, Gone Girl, The Equalizer, The Maze Runner, Ouija, and Unbroken.
-Kudos to SolC9 being the lowest predictor on Mockingjay: Part 1 (with moviegeek151 not far behind).
-Nice call for Flava'd on Maze Runner making $100 million.
-Kiruvi was the only one to predict under $100 million for Penguins, which had one of the worst performances in terms of average predictions.
-Epically low total of all movies' box office compared to our expectations.
-If Boxtrolls made $2 million less, BK would have won.
-If Fury made $2 million more, supaprince would have won.
-With the exception of Into the Woods, Omni was either in the top 8 in for each move prediction or the bottom 8. No in between.

Re: KJ's Fall 2014 Box Office Contest - FINAL STANDINGS Pg 1 Thanks for running this MGKC - definitely my favourite game and extremely happy to win this one.
Thanks to everyone who played - this was very close and I honestly thought I'd dropped the ball and lost the lead for good.
BK, supaprince, Omni - thanks for the awesome competition. Great battle.

Re: KJ's Fall 2014 Box Office Contest - FINAL STANDINGS Pg 1 Congrats to MadGez for the win! My risky strategy didn't fully pay off. Though I wanted to go sub-400M on Mockingjay, but eventually followed my sister's idea - first and last time  Honestly, half of the reason I keep being interested in box office is actually this game. Great work, MGKC! _________________

Re: KJ's Fall 2014 Box Office Contest - FINAL STANDINGS Pg 1 What a finish!
I will echo Omni, MGKC's game is one of the reasons I do still follow because it's such a great and simple competition.
Congrats to MadGez!
Always interesting to follow and I was so close!
