Brandon has only been in the top 100 in two of the last nine games. So much for the "most accurate box office predictions."

15th for the week; I guess I about stayed even with Vovanik and Jeff, but I lost quite a bit to Crag Hack. Not a good month for me: 15th. I finally made the top 5 for the year, but I lost ground to the top 4 this month. At least I've mostly come back from January as I did better then everyone but Crag Hack for the past 3 months taken together. However, I can't really afford mistakes for the yearly race, and I had those over the past 4 weeks.
Summer tends to be much more fun for me though.

Moved up to #10 for the year! Finally, I'm doing things right and working my way up.
PEACE, Mike.

Only Started playin BO Derby a few weeks ago and have gone from a good start (31st) to an absmal (312th). I'll assume from this spending only 5 minutes throwing up guesses will not work all the time

Whoa! I am now number 4 of the year. I moved up because bluecrushfan flopped. I am in the game now.

I'm just content I moved up into the yearly top 20. Hopefully I do great things from now on

12th for the week. Nice. My best ranking ever.  Maybe this means I will do better for the rest of the year...on the other hand, this week was crappy for a lot of people. So maybe I'm just lucky.

24th for the week. I moved up to 75th for the year, which is pretty good considering I missed a week. I would be 7th if I hadn't missed last week.

For the only third time in history and first since December of 2002, nobody scored higher than 80%.

#51 for me, not terrible I guess. That makes 6 straight Top 100s for me, by far my longest streak ever.
Moved up to #25 for the yearly race, which is a bigger jump than I anticipated. Top 20 by the end of May doesn't look too far off anymore.
Congrats Nebs for getting #2, I'm still 0.01% ahead of you though.

Very bad weekend for me, but at least #72 at the yearly chart.

This time it doesn't hurt that much as the time Zingaling beat me by .01%. Zingaling! What a slap in the face. BKB beating me wouldn't be that bad.
I've got a winning combination in my head, so Shack, no worries, you're going down soon.

Hard to replace Gemini as the best player who never won.  Nebs is probably the current best.
Interesting weekend. We have a new release with a derby average of $39m, even as people are beating it to death. We have another one that can gross anywhere between $1 to 3m depending on the theater count. There are potentially 6 movies that will gross fewer than $3m, including a film which wasn't even in the top 10 last weekend and is likely to lose another 700 theaters. Every 0.1m will be magnified again.

Week 17 was a great week for me as my 3rd place helped me win April, which was my first monthly win
Last week was my 100th game - 74.49% wasn't good, but enough for a 34th place
It will be much bigger differences between peoples scores this week, last week basically everyone had 70-75%.

Derby average could have a score around 50%, including 0 on all three openers.
