Did Scotty miss this week?! I swore I sent in predictions. Maybe it didn't go through or it crashed when I sent them in.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Congrats Shawn! What a fantastic score, and a very well-deserved first win. Like when RT won for the first time earlier this year, I think the next one will come rather soon, and you'll be contending every week.
Happy to navigate hopefully my final obstacle of the year when I had to complete my predictions rather quickly on the cruise ship last Thursday after realizing they were charging $0.65 a minute to use the Internet.

Two Wednesday openers, one Saturday opener, one Saturday expander (King's Speech), and one Wednesday expander (Black Swan). Going to be a very interesting weekend. One good thing is that at least the deadline is the usual Thursday instead of Wednesday.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Awesome victory ShawnMR, killer openers. Next year could have several new strong contenders for top 10.
Yeah, crazy game coming up.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Congrats Shawn. Nice weekend for many KJer's after Shawn mostly starting from 10 and then there is big list  Personally a pretty weak prediction....went too high or too less on the holdovers. I was fine with openers except for the damn "How Do you Know"....in this case how do I know

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Thanks for the congrats, guys!  To finally take it on a week with so many openers definitely caught me by surprise. Strong week for a lot of KJers, I noticed. Very tough weekend coming up. Xiayun: I think someone on BOM said this, but that's true dedication. I probably would have paid $0.65/minute to fill out the Derby as well...

It would pain me much more to miss out a week than finishing 2nd two consecutive weeks.  They actually provided a discount package of $19.95 for 45 minutes on Friday, so I called to see if it would start on midnight and purchase that instead since it's plenty early enough for the derby, but they said it would start on 9am sharp.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
BTW will this be the last derby for 2010 or will next weekend also count towards 2010.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Now I wonder if we'll have a game for this weekend if some studios won't report the full actuals for the holidays until next Monday.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Well the game is still on for this week, but the deadline is set to be Friday at noon, and no range for the date is specified, although I assume it's the normal Friday to Sunday.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Surprised to see there will be a game, and the strange deadline. Will be interesting to predict films with incomplete actuals.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Friday at noon - is that a new first? Wonder if it's the new standard deadline or just for this week since it's an odd week. I kind of hope it will stick.
I bet the number of entries picks up a lot as we get closer to the normal deadline and those going for perfect attendance submit their entry, but may still be a low for the year.
