I thought for sure someone outside KJ would sneak in considering how high the derby average is; especially when Pandorum got to 2.0 and with my own prediction of 1.7, I was feeling "damn, it'd be suck to have the 11th film hurt me that bad." It's actually my 9th; still one behind Scott.  Actually, you are two behind, I have 11. Anyway, Congrats once again on the great calls.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Congrats Casey on your 3rd place. It is very tough to stand out this week. My score is 90.28% but I rank 90th.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Yeah, No. 314! 5th time I followed a win with a triple-digit ranking, and one of the worst ever especially considering only 441 played.
Congrats Casey! What an 1-2-3 stretch.

So close!  Wanted to go back to 1st, but the 1-2-3 thing is kinda cool, heh.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Crazy Casey. Crazy awesome that is.
#102. I so hate breaking a good double digit rank streak, and to be so close is sickening.
My accuracy was 89.999

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
What, still predicting Toy Story, considering it's a two-week engagement? I know a few theaters may keep it, but it's certainly not going to be in the top 10.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
BOM seems to be paying far less attention to the film selection these past few weeks.

I bet theaters will just keep it considering it's the better option to keep than Surrogates, Invention of Lying, or anything lower. It technically has a PTA higher than Cloudy right now. I don't think Disney will rip it from theaters, it'll more just suffer from people thinking it's already out because of the advertising.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Basically TS is going to be a derby killer. No idea what it will make next weekend. It should have a HUGE drop next weekend.
I think I will ping Tom Karlo about this.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Still, since it's advertised as two-week engagement, it should still behave similar to what Hannah Montana concert did on its third weekend, not to mention the direct competition from Where the Wild Things Are.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
A new derby record was set this weekend:
Highest average score ever at 85.75%, beating the previous record of 85.59%, set the weekend of 8/5/2005 when Dukes of Hazzard was #1. That was the only opener and the lowest grosser was The Island at 3.1m.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
And I assume it also set a record for lowest standard deviation considering the high scores this time are actually lower than the 2005/Aug weekend?

Good question - I currently only have all the mass data through the end of 2008 but the st. dev. of the 8/5/05 game was actually an average 10.2% due mostly to a couple scores at/near 0 and a handful of sub-50's. However the st. dev. of this game with a game-low of 45.7% was a very small 6.61% which would put it at the 5th lowest through the end of 2008. The lowest through 2008 is 5.68% set for the game of 8/16/02, with 387 players, a low of 25.42, a high of just 80.40, and an average of 68.36, and just 4 scores under 50%. That's the only game through 2008 with a sub 6% st. dev.
