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?

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Jan 2
How are some people ranking high every game? Don’t people ever get lucky or unlucky? How do people predict so consistently well?

Seems obvious, but that's the answer. And I got lucky a few games back with back-to-back wins, so that also happens.

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Jan 2
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.

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

Re: KJ's Spring Box Office Contest - Points Update for Jan 2
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.
