 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread I entered estimates using a 2.7 multiplier of Friday BOM numbers. At least half of these numbers are probably too optimistic, though, because I've noticed some movies don't even get a 2.5 multiplier on the similar 2010 weekend.
edit: changed to 2.6 multiplier, probably more realistic for most, though hopefully Star Wars stays above 90 :p

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread Not sure why BOT didn't include The Forest in their predictions. Probably because they suck.

Not sure where Scottie went, but Wildbill looks to have transitioned over to the BOT derby. But whatever. I was in Florida. Almost, I am retiring from predicting the derby. I am putting full focus on editing film project. _________________Visit My Youtube Account and here is what you will see.    and many more.

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread The BOT derby guy "has to research" something before declaring me the winner.
What a group they have over there.

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread Followed up a great last two weeks with a very average week this week. Disappointing. Rolling Thunder looks like the winner, pending a few films.

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread Congrats, Rolling Thunder! I should've played it safer with The Forest; that was the main derby killer.

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread Also, I didn't notice this, but I've won 3 times this year, lol.
Probably helps that we only have about a dozen players though...

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread There doesn't seem to be any statistical difference between when I go with my gut with little thought into it and when I break out the calculator.

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread What indicators do you guys use for your predictions, especially the bottom half of the top ten? I keep getting reamed with the smaller grosses.

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread I try to compare previous weekends to see how smaller films dropped, trying to find a similar movie. But I don't do great on them either...

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread Chippy - I'm going to try this again and this time attempt to get a decent score on the smaller holdovers. Pray for me. #nervous.
