Haven't yet been updated because we are waiting for a few actuals.

EDIT: OK I now see the problem. Its just that due to rushed new game creation we are unable to update "actuals" for previous game. We will make sure that this does not happen going forward.

Sorry about that breakingcampeon. Shack was the winner of that James Bond Derby.

Does anyone have Mouthful of Air estimates? The supposed ‘wide’ release was only 816 theaters.

Now that I’m playing this fairly regularly, I am curious how the movies are chosen each week. For instance this wknd we don’t have the wknd number 2 (JJK) or the other wide opener (X) but we do have BTS which will make $0. Is it simply handpicked openers+top rest from the previous wknd?

For the record, Wanda got Radhe Shyam exactly right with his $0.0 prediction.

The Derby default for non tracking movies is $0.1m. He was spot on at zero dollars. lol

Curious, how do you know BTS will make $0.0? I would love to know. These films pop out of nowhere and now I have to guess whether or not they are one-week wonders.

I almost exclusively use https://m.the-numbers.com/movies/release-schedule , specifically the wide releases as a guide for what to add (JJK did not show up as a wide release the week prior to its rollout)

I took over pricing for a player run version of the fantasy movie league a little over a year ago, so I have to have pretty detailed numerical forecasts of the upcoming weekend gross by Monday to ensure that goes well. The BOT buzz thread can be pretty useful for that, I also look at BOP long range tracking.

In the case of BTS it was a one day “live” concert event for some megapopular Korean pop group rather than a real movie per se — last weekend the gross was equal to Saturday daily, with $0 on Fri and Sun. So naturally no shows on any other days.

The BOT derby didn’t have JJK this week either, and when I asked over there the reason was basically that they were very uncertain how it would do. We had it penciled in for ~13M last mon for fml pricing based on robust presales and comparing performance to recent anime movies like MHA: World Heroes Mission and Demonn Slayer Infinity Train in other markets.

Post subject:  Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread - WINNERS AND NEW GAME

I’m going to be posting a brief discussion of the likely top 10+some other possibilities on Sunday on BOT going forward, I’d be happy to cross post here if it’s useful. Example below (from last Sun, unactionable now but just to give an idea):


“For next weekend I’d hope to see something like:
Lost City
Batman
RRR
Uncharted
JJK
Dog
NWH
X
Sing
Nile

I think that’s probably the top 10, barring a wild hold from Kashmir files or over performance from infinite storm.“

Thanks!

Post subject:  Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread - WINNERS AND NEW GAME

Next wknd top 10 should be:
Morbius
Lost City
Bat
Uncharted
RRR
JJK
NWH
Dog
X
Sing

Main wildcard is contractor, but it will be in a pretty dubious number of locations and may not even report.

Everything everywhere all at once could top sing depending on how much it expands, an option on the more volatile side.

Pretty clear top 10 next weekend of:
Sonic
Morbius
Ambulance
Lost City
Batman
EEAAO
Uncharted
NWH
Dog 
JJK  

EEAAO reported expanding to ~1200 locs

JJK kicked for actuals being too annoying I assume? More than fair XD

Author:  WandaLegion [ Mon Apr 11, 2022 4:08 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread - WINNERS AND NEW GAME

Top 9 should be:

Dumbledore

Sonic

Lost City

EeAAO

Stu

Ambulance

Morbius

Batman

Uncharted



JJK is probably favored to round out the top 10 if you don't mind the reporting. Otherwise there's NWH, getting pretty small.

Author:  lilmac [ Tue Apr 12, 2022 5:37 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread - WINNERS AND NEW GAME

Not including NWH. You’re right. It’s too small. Appreciate the list. I’ll include JJK.

Author:  lilmac [ Sun Apr 17, 2022 1:47 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread - WINNERS AND NEW GAME

The current JJK number in the Derby estimate for the April 15th weekend is a placeholder until we see the actuals.
