Re: WOKJ Monthly Box Office Contest - November/December
(Sigh). I definitely should have been more conservative on that one. Going from last to 3rd to this point is something I can leave with. Though I royally underpredicted Puss In Boots too is my feeling.

Re: WOKJ Monthly Box Office Contest - November/December
Wow. I don't even care if I don't win, that Avatar: The Way of Water prediction feels like a huge triumph already. Finally, lowballing paid off! My Puss in Boots: The Last Wish prediction is so low. But let's see. Who knows. Thankfully nobody went too high on it.

I'm going ultra-pessimistic for the next game

Re: WOKJ Monthly Box Office Contest - November/December
I think Algren is going to pull this one off. Though we will count this weekend's gross for The Whale right? It's supposed to be in 500 or so theaters. That might help. But I think I'm too high on everything else except Whitney. That I might be too low on.

Re: WOKJ Monthly Box Office Contest - November/December
For the next game we should all pay a small entrance fee and the winner gets the jackpot . Would make it even more interesting.

If I did a money version it'd make it more like the prediction contests where I will give out $20 to a winner, rather than everyone putting in. But I wouldn't do it for January/February movies. Maybe summer.

Maybe summer. Yes that would be good. March/April would be good also as they are packed with big titles.

If Deadline's prediction is right about December 23-December 25 box office, then Algren is about $9 million ahead of Magic Mike, with only the Whale and Women talking not included in the contest. I hope Deadline is definitely wrong about Puss In Boots.

Re: WOKJ Monthly Box Office Contest - November/December
The Whale is in 603 theaters this weekend. I believe Shack agreed to count this weekend as Whale's first "wide release" weekend. If Deadline is accurate about this 3 day weekend's box office for The Whale, I Wanna Dance, Puss in Boots, and Babylon, then Magic Mike is less than $5 million behind Algren. Then it all comes down to the January 6, 2023 weekend for Women Talking.

Re: WOKJ Monthly Box Office Contest - November/December
Shouldn't Women Talking just be voided from this game since this is the Nov/Dec game?

Re: WOKJ Monthly Box Office Contest - November/December
I will include it in the game based on changing the Whale’s weekend

Re: WOKJ Monthly Box Office Contest - November/December
Algren will be ahead by 4.5 million, while his Women Talking prediction is 5 million more. If it's over 2.25 million he win, while under 2.25 Mike wins. O will finish 3rd and only shouting distance from the top 2 after his pessimist predictions dominated Christmas weekend (he currently sits 4.5 million below Mike and 9 million below Algren, with same Women Talking prediction as Mike). It may have cost him that his I Wanna Dance With You optimism creeped in by predicting 13 million for it, more average than low compared to the other predictors, while Mike had the low number with 8.

Re: WOKJ Monthly Box Office Contest - November/December
An overly negative view of box office ended up doing so nicely for me though it's a sad state of the film industry that my strategy thrived. From last to not too far off from #1. Think the worst and you'll rise to toward the top. What a horrible lesson to takeaway for the holidays!

Re: WOKJ Monthly Box Office Contest - November/December
Well I don't see Women Talking going that high if its limited opening this weekend is anything to go by. I doubt it even makes $1 million.

Re: WOKJ Monthly Box Office Contest - November/December
From what I can see, Women Talking isn't opening wide until 27th January.
