Re: WOKJ Monthly Box Office Contest - November/December
Exactly. This game should end.
Instead of dragging it out just to force a Mike win. Admit you got the inclusion wrong and move on.

Re: WOKJ Monthly Box Office Contest - November/December
Women Talking is likely to be a bad box office performer whenever it came out. So the low predictor gets the credit for it.

Re: WOKJ Monthly Box Office Contest - November/December
Whatever. Do what you like. Might as well predict for Wonka in the Jan/Feb game if release dates mean nothing.

The Whale and Women Talking were supposed to come out Dec 9 and 25th respectively when I made this thread. So technically I could have used their limited release numbers on those dates, if I was being a purist when it comes to the release dates.

Re: WOKJ Monthly Box Office Contest - November/December
In the future you should refrain from including movies that are not guaranteed a wide release. And, while we're at it, let's set the parameters for wide release at 1000 theaters instead of 600. As for this month, you gotta include Women Talking and I'd say just take it's highest weekend from December? Seems like the only fair way to go about it.

Re: WOKJ Monthly Box Office Contest - November/December
My take would be some of these movies that were originally listed as wide get downgraded because they're not going to do box office. So the lower predictors should benefit. Mike's Women Talking prediction is clearly better based on its likely abysmal hopes at box office whenever it goes "wide".

Re: WOKJ Monthly Box Office Contest - November/December
Right now Mike wins if we count Jan 20 as Women Talking's opening weekend, if it expands and gets enough of an Oscar boost on 27th weekend to give Algren the lead, I may declare it a tie. However if 27th isn't high enough to make a difference, then Mike wins in either scenario, so Mike will be the winner.

Re: WOKJ Monthly Box Office Contest - November/December
Congrats Magic Mike and Algren and thanks for organizing! Last to 3rd! I'll take it though its a horrible lesson that pessimism will get you further ahead than optimism!

Yet the optimistic people are the ones doing the best in the January contest... Just when I try to adapt the doomer strategy. Since we changed a bunch of stuff around already, I vote we also combine the opening and second weekends of Avatar, which would put me in first place. Thank you, thank you.
