Chaos Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Transformers is 165 minutes long. I feel sorry for the many Americans who will blow $50 at the movie theater after popcorn, drinks, etc to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincey Greene Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 So with all the hype about Kim Jong Un being infuriated by The Interview, should that have been on the list? I would have seen it anyway, but now I'm gonna make it a point to see it in theaters because America. Surely I'm not the only one. I feel like that fat moron is doing better publicity work for that flick than any ad agency ever could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Transformers has fallen to 26% on only 19 reviews Meanwhile HTTYD2 has dropped back into a tie with X-Men at 92% - I am terrified how that tiebreaker will work out because those are some crucial crucial placements on my ballot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 The Interview doesn't come out until October, but if it had been released during the summer, Franco and Rogen would've pretty much made it an automatic inclusion. For the RT list, X-Men is locked at 205/224 = 91.52%, and HTTYD2 is at 113/123 = 91.87%. So HTTYD2 is still ahead of X-Men for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.K.o.S. Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Transformers now at 17% RT on 43 reviews. Yikes. Also, HTTYD2 (barely) made more money yesterday than 22 Jump Street, so maybe the pendulum is starting to swing back in the other direction there?

_MJ_ Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Say what you want about Transformers but for this game it's old reliable. One of the few movies you can count on when it comes to the critics. I can't believe Bay keeps getting away with making them over 2 and half hours though. I don't think I'm much of a movie snob, but I couldn't believe I was actually yawning through some of the action scenes in the second one. The action scenes, I say.

_MJ_ Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I think I just realize I don't understand the percentage points for the tiebreak. Haha. Dead at Lacelle in second place after we were giving her shit about her list earlier on. I don't get how The Erotic Terrorist only has 2 points on his Rotten Tomato list after 8 weeks. Nice work.

Dead at Lacelle in second place after we were giving her shit about her list earlier on. I don't get how The Erotic Terrorist only has 2 points on his Rotten Tomato list after 8 weeks. Bizarre. The tiebreak is basically the percentage your prediction was off by. A lower number is better. If the movie you used as a tiebreak hasn't come out yet, it shows as "n/a". For example, Maleficent finished at $193,615,390, Jae predicted it'd be $188,000,000, he's off by just 2.9% (which shows as 0.029). Explanation about Erotic Terrorist's RT list in the spoiler. Spoiled for length. His list was: How to Train Your Dragon 2 X-Men: Days of Future Past Godzilla Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 22 Jump Street Guardians of the Galaxy Maleficent The Expendables 3 The Giver A Million Ways To Die In The West Jupiter Ascending Hercules Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Transformers: Age of Extinction The Purge: Anarchy Delete the movies that haven't come out yet, and you get: How to Train Your Dragon 2 X-Men: Days of Future Past Godzilla 22 Jump Street Maleficent A Million Ways To Die In The West Which is almost right on, he's just got Godzilla and 22 Jump Street switched. 1 point for each of those = 2 points. If you look back at his overall list, it looks pretty good long term too. Maleficent is fairly high but I could legitimately see all those movies below it getting less than 50%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I always get confused looking at these, because I always think I should be doing better. So, for once, I actually did the calculations for myself. And, of course, you're spot on. At least, now I have a better idea of how the points actually work. I will say though, and I'm tanking myself a little here, if it's the lower tiebreak percentage that's better, RossWB should be ahead of me.

Brian Fowler Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 So, Transformers did 8.75 yesterday. In the same ballpark as Amazing Spider-Man 2, X-Men: DOFP, and Godzilla. All of which opened around 90 million bucks. Which is to say, this is probably going to open right around 90 million. And if the summer so far is any indication, end up somewhere around 200 million for the purposes of this game, and 225-250 or so total. Less if it ends up more like Spidey and the Big G than Cap and the X-Men. This summer looks highly likely to lack any major, major breakout hits.

You're right. The Veeg should be ahead of Super Ape, too. I have this stuff in a spreadsheet on my work computer so I'll have to see on Monday what's happening there. I think I'm probably inadvertently sorting by order of entry rather than the tiebreaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTTYD2's box office performance is still the most inexplicable thing for me this year. Like I wouldn't have predicted this for ASM2 and Transformers 4, but it's at least understandable. But yeah, if Transformers 4 doesn't do well (by Transformers standards), then there isn't much else. I'm guessing not many people seriously think Guardians is going to move the needle too much.

Niners Fan in CT Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I can't blame anyone who says fuck the movies these days. Last movie I went to with some friends it cost me $9 for a drink and junior mints. Imagine bringing a family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
