Think those are definitely all out already, which means, I'm out for the 15 points already! Damn it.

I have no idea how the scoring is done here.

well shit lol

Me too

3 points for a prediction in green, and 2 points for getting a question right

15 points for the correct order of the top 5 movies.

Pretty simple! That's why I play the game

Thanks, not that I was asking for help - I'm happy to not know. I just play anyway because MGKC really puts the time in, and I respect that.

But as you are so willing....to get a prediction in green, how far away from the actual can your prediction be?

The green predictions ate the eight closest.

The 25% of people who are closest on a movie get points. Say we have 28 people predicting and a movie grosses below every single persons' predictions - the 7 people who predicted the lowest get 3 points a piece.

Nice! Thanks both of you.

PPZ should take a HUGE lead this weekend if the BOM numbers hold up.

Holy cow, look at that loss of 2,455 theaters.

That just might be unbeatable for any other movie this season.

I know wish that Gods of Egypt is ultra wide flop so it has a shot to loose more theaters. Its supposed to be 3000+ theaters if it gets past 3500 it could catch up

I think it's funny I'm the only one with Top 5 points. That will quickly remedy itself.

Soaring

I need to get some points

Zootopia looks like it's going to break out with stellar reviews and a strong twitter presence, especially for an animated film. That will eliminate Riggs from the top 5 quest. I still have a tiny chance, but Jungle Book would have to break out big time. Birdman has the best chance of us all. BvS, Zootopia, Deadpool, Jungle Book, Kung Fu Panda 3. That COULD happen.

Do you guys really think Zootopia or Jungle Book will do close to $375mm total because I see Deadpool coming close to that. Even though none of them are direct competition March has a about 4 movies every weekend before BvS all of those are going to do big numbers. The Jungle Book has Huntsman in its second weekend as well, again not a direct competition but some of the families will still be taken away.

Unless Zootopia under-performs MASSIVELY and makes less than KFP3 I think no one is getting it right this time as well.

Need Hail, Caesar! to self-destruct this weekend or else it might leg its way to me losing points!

Birdman (the user not the movie) has a decent shot at nailing the Top 5 if Zootopia can outgross Deadpool.

Ah nice, you already pointed that out.
