If I didn't change my predictions at the last second, I would have had 80.76%.

It's funny that Nebs is going to destroy us all, when we were laughing and "Ouch"-ing at his prediction when he posted it.

Yeah. Nebs has 84.40%. Unless some BOM member went against the rest and predicted close to the same amount, Nebs might win after all.

Go me!

Well, unknown BOM-ers will do great this weekend. Look at the derby averages.

I just calculated it, and the average is:

...84.40%



What are the chances of that? Like 1 in a billion?

Not terrible considering I made these predictions in 5 minutes flat.

It seems coming up with weird predictions has finally paid off

Even if these will be actuals I bet there will be atleast 15 people better than me.

Still, quite glad with score. :=)

81.94%

If I hadn't changed Block Party and Aquamarine to go with the flow here, I would've had 90.42%! Believe it or not...

72.30%,

BJs Estimates:

1. Madea's Family Reunion - 12.0m
2. 16 Blocks - 11.8m
3. Eight Below - 11.0m
4. Ultra Violet - 9.6m
5. Dave Chapelle's Block Party - 8.0m
6. The Pink Panther - 7.6m
7. Auqamarine - 6.5m
8. Date Movie - 5.6m
9. Curious George - 4.5m
10. Firewall - 4.2m

78.33%

79.52%

81.05% with my projections:

Madea's Family Reunion - 12.3m
16 Blocks - 11.9m
Eight Below - 10.2m
Ultraviolet - 9.1m
Dave Chapelle's Block Party - 7.8m
The Pink Panther - 6.9m
Aquamarine - 6.5m
Date Movie - 5.0m
Curious George - 4.4m
Firewall - 3.9m

Wish I had not dropped Aquamarine from 5.2m to 3.8m, or increased Block Party from 8m to 10.8m. Plus I was at 10m-12m on 16 Blocks for over a month before increasing it this week. Although I at least decreased Ultraviolet.

I got 74.28% with yours, which is better.

Hopefully Chappele has an uber-frontloaded crap IM so everyone get's hurt and I can sit back with my 0% watching them suffer.

79.66%, 80.37% with DP's.

I did have Aquamarine at 7 million but I didn't want to repeat last week and get another 0% this weekend so I lowered it to 5 mill, darn.

I have 83.48% with DP's, which is not half-bad.

Again, if I had not upped Block Party from $9 to $13.2 and dropped Aquamarine from $6.3 to $3.8, I would have 92.71%.

Curious George will not make $4.4m (what kind of multiplier are you giving it?), and Firewall will make more than $3.9m (it'll have at least an 80% increase on Saturday).

Unless...did the Showbiz numbers change?

That'll be great. :=)

77.98% with DP's.

80.67% with Torri´s, 82.50% with DP´s.

Am I the only one who thinks Aquamarine is overpredicted? What is It has a "Sleepover", "Firdst daughter" type of multiplier?

75.79% with DPO7's projections.

I clearly just didn't perform well this week at all, and couldn't appropriately gauge how the opener's would perform. I was easily off on all four of them. I feel pretty lucky to have cracked 75%. A poor week for me, I just want to move on now.

PEACE, Mike.

72 with estimates, blech

74.26%.

This needs to stop.
