2015 Summer Blockbuster Movie Pool

[S.K.o.S.]

Behold!  Prizes.

 

[Death From Above]

It's an ever wondrous miracle I actually one a prize in this game one year.

[RIPPA]

If I get stuck with The Fisher King - I am gonna be pissed

[_MJ_]

I don't think Straight Outta Compton's RT score is enough to hurt too bad, Rippa.  I think you have this one locked up.  The Man From U.N.C.L.E. failed me.

 

My goal was to get Whiplash at the start of this, but now I'm not sure I'll make it in the top 5.  Very close.

With or without Vaseline? 

 

*runs*

[J.T.]

Damn, Rippa.  That drop has to hurt.

[RIPPA]

I told you I was gonna get stuck with Fisher King

I am just wondering if it was SOC over-performing that boned me or FF4 being shittier than I thought

[J.T.]

At least you won't get stuck with Honeymoon.   It was okay but not as good as I thought it was going to be.

[S.K.o.S.]

I am just wondering if it was SOC over-performing that boned me or FF4 being shittier than I thought

 

It's Straight Outta Compton for sure.  You have 12 points from that movie alone (5 from box office, 7 from RT)

 

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. failed me.

 

Not really!  You have it 5th on your RT list, but you left off 4 movies that would have been ahead of it (Mad Max, MI:RS, Spy, Jurassic World), so you're only getting one point from it there.

[Control]

Back at the bottom

[ivpvideos]

Every year I do pretty good at the Box Office part and absolutely bomb at the RT. I think next year I am just going to do the opposite of what I think people are going to like.

[S.K.o.S.]

Update will be late today, maybe as late as Saturday morning, because I'll be at BOLA!

For his tiebreaker, -MJ- had Mission Impossible: Rogue Squadron at $161,950,009.  It ended up making $162,086,530.  Good lord.

[RIPPA]

So for all intents and purposes - it is just a question of how far does Compton climb and fuck up my list - correct?

[S.K.o.S.]

For you, yes.  There shouldn't be any more movement on the RT list; Fantastic Four shouldn't move up any higher on the box office list; The Man From UNCLE is gonna pass Entourage and Hot Pursuit, but you left it off your box office list so that doesn't matter to you.

 

Straight Outta Compton will pass Mad Max, will probably pass Ant-Man, and might be able to squeak past Mission Impossible.

[JRGoldman]

Is there anyway that I can still make top 6, or am I out already? 

[S.K.o.S.]

Is there anyway that I can still make top 6, or am I out already? 

 

It looks like realistically, the best you can do is 7th place.

I don't want to say anything because I don't want to jinx myself, but I might be joining the Church of Scientology soon.

 

It's the least I can do.  Nice e-knowing you guys.
