It looks like the pink cells are all predictions below the average, and blue cells are all predictions above the average (for a particular movie).

Bridge of Spies is getting good reviews, but I still can't imagine it doing as well as Captain Phillips. It looks dull from the trailer.

Bridge of Spies got a standing ovation at its premiere. I wonder if it will challenge for some Oscars. Seems like Spielberg cock sucking at the moment, but you never know - it may be good.

I ended up in the middle of most predictions, and in this game, 70% of the movies either beat all predictions or are lower than all.

My start already shows me that I will be a non-entity this game. Damn it.

Weekly Rank Update - 10/25

devon28flick keeps its #1 position that he's held since the start of the game.

Steve Jobs becomes the most likely predictor of player success currently - if you are scoring points for it, you're in the top 10 ranking.

Yikes. Bottom of the leader board. Serves me right for being over optimistic about the Sep/Oct slate!
