I was still using your 18.9 for everything predictions. Your new score is 11.2 (you are 2.6 off Equalizer not 3.6).

My Score is off too:

My guesses:

The Equalizer 3 - 33m
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 - 9m
The Nun II - 32m

Total: $74m

Box Office:

The Equalizer 3 - 34.6m
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 - 10.0m
The Nun II - 32.6m

Total: $77.2m

So I should be at 3.2m....

My bad that was a typo, you are at 3.2 million

I’m just seeing I made some other mistakes somehow, I’ll edit it and post the real scores

hehe all good.

I made the spreadsheet earlier this time cause I wanted to try using the average of everyone else’s prediction before I made mine, which must have messed up my normal routine

Thanks! At least I didn't have to waste a season as just 3 movies showed the average prediction strategy was a wipe out. Thanks @Taylor!

I’m not sure a bullseye has ever happened before

But we're predicting opening weekend right, so I'm not sure why it makes sense to use this weekend.

I try to use the first wide weekend.

First wide weekend is fair. Though with the weak wide performance its still a disaster for most of us lol

Keyser could make a comeback as he predicted 40 mil for Freddy’s, but of course, it’s all about Taylor. Unfortunately for Algren, he never updated his 10 million prediction.

Wow - Algren's beloved Paw Patrol worked wonders. It's close though yeah Eras is going to make or break.

Unfortunately for Algren he forgot to add a 0 to his 10 million Taylor Swift prediction - There’s a chance it’s closer than the high predictions though.

I like my 90m Taylor prediction but messing up Exorcist might cost me the win

Eras has broken all records when it comes to presales frontloaded ness. While I did not expect it to sustain the torrid pace with which it started, I expected some spike in final weeks. its OD presales was at Endgame level and final week behaved like a 20m opener.

This means either Swift does not have that many fans as assumed(20m or so) or majority dont want to check it out in theaters. They want to only experience the live performance.

Damn it, should've stuck with my original prediction

I too wished that I had stuck with my original prediction even though that prediction is likely more than $30 million off. I read that when Taylor Swift's concert tickets went on sale, ticketmaster said there were 14 million attempts, including bots, to buy those tickets. As long as I went under $280 million, I felt my prediction wasn't too crazy. Congratulations to those who predicted around $100 million for Taylor Swift.

I think only original predictions count as we usually cant up our predictions for other films anyway.

Rev (101) and I (90) were the only ones close on Taylor. He started the week +18 on me, while I’m 15 million higher on Killers, and he’s 5 million higher on Freddy. Based on how Freddy looks guaranteed to go high, I don’t think I can catch Rev unless Eras comes in way under its current 97m estimate, I need it down to like 91 mil.

I gave 1 week extension for Swift predictions at the time so the upped predictions before that point count

Fair enough. I tried

Rev will win unless the pre sales optimism for Freddy’s is shockingly wrong.
