I.hope 3-0

Chippy 2-1
nghtvsn 2-1

Rev 1-2
Zwackerm 1-2
MGKC 1-2

Stuffp 0-3

i.hope sits alone at the top, giving other players nightmares just in time for Halloween. This week he takes on Chippy though, hungry to bounce back after taking his first loss of the season. Unlike i.hope's deserved first place, stuffp sits in the gutter alone only because of some tough luck. I have confidence he will bounce out soon. MGKC is hoping it won't come at his expense this week though. Meanwhile, zwackerm and rev face off to move up a tier in the rankings and nghtvsn draws the dealer this week.

Week 4 - Halloween 2

Zwackerm v Rev
Chip v i.hope
Stuffp v MGKC
dealer v ngtvsn

And I need your clairvoyance to decipher

Hunter Killer 3-day weekend
Johnny English Strikes Again 3-day weekend
Halloween drop
A Star Is Born drop
Suspiria PTA

I removed Indivisible because even though it will be interesting to see how a Jesus movie performs on pre-Halloween weekend, I feel like it would just be a guessing game. None of us know why some faith-based films do well and others don't. Johnny English stays because I need it for the thread title to work. A Star Is Born gets back in because it was neglected last week.

My predictions

Hunter Killer - $10.36M
Johnny English - $1.14M
Halloween - -46.4%
A Star Is Born - -27.5%
Suspiria - $33.7k

Another game i.hope's good at.

Thanks to everyone for getting your picks in.

Results up soon. Doesn't seem like too much shake up in the standings.

$6.5M Hunter Killer $7.1M
$1.65M Johnny English $1.56M
-56% Halloween -54%
-24% A Star Is Born -31%
$57K Suspiria $41K

I.hope continues his dominance with the first sweep of the season. And chippy's predictions were actually pretty good, other than Suspiria which threw off everyone with its weird theater count. I.hope was the closest at only $30K off.

$11.75M Hunter Killer $10.36M
$1.25M Johnny English $1.14M
-53.5% Halloween -46.4%
-28.5% A Star Is Born -27.5%
$44.5K Suspiria $33.7K

Nghtvsn took advantage of my absolutely terrible Halloween prediction to get his third win. Though he almost let it slip away by being too much of a Gerardian.

Rev ||||| Zwackerm

$12.6M Hunter Killer $6.8M
$2.26M Johnny English $1.5M
-53.4% Halloween -57%
-31.6% A Star Is Born -23.5%
$28.9K Suspiria $45K

Wow! After a slow start Zwackerm finds his groove this weekend to take out Rev. Those playoff odds in Vegas are going to shorten considerably. Rev has a tough week but so did everyone besides his opponent and the league leader.


Stuffp ||||| MGKC

$8.3M Hunter Killer $11.8M
$3.3M Johnny English $1.9M
-58% Halloween -60.7%
-29% A Star Is Born -27.5%
$33K Suspiria $35K

Another heartbreaker for stuffp as he loses by only two thousand dollars on the Suspria PTA. He even hits the Halloween drop exactly! But the KJ League is like pitching stats in baseball before sabremetrics, we only care about Ws and Ls. MGKC on the other hand is right back in the mix after starting 0-2. So it just goes to show how quick things can turn around!

The likely lineup for next week:

Bohemian Rhapsody 3-day
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms 3-day
Nobody's Fool 3-day
Halloween drop
Boy Erased PTA

I wanted to include Suspiria again but that 250 estimated theater count is too weird. BE is at the usual 5 so we can hopefully get a better grasp on it.

Miracle ! I did have too much faith in Gerard. Way off!

I lost to Zwackerm!!! WTF! I should pack up and go home
