Hail Sabin Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 What's the record for most points? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Last last year was 128 points 2014 - last was 144 points 2013 - last was 116 points So those were all the pools on this version of the board. SKOS I assume would have previous years. So right now - your goal is to come in under 144 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 Looks like I only have the spreadsheets for back to 2010... at least without resurrecting my older computers to find '08 and '09. In 2010, last place was 118 points. In 2011, last place was 142 points. In 2012 (the relatively easy-to-predict year) last place was only 96 points. So 144 points from 2014 is very likely the all-time record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Since we're asking stats: how many points does #1 usually end up with? Has it varied or has it been pretty regular? Natural and I are neck-and-neck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, I'd say it's been pretty consistent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 In a sense I'm glad I'm out of it early so I don't have to care that I totally blew the Finding Dory tiebreaker at $280 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonidas Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I had it at number one . Really haven't seen much advertising for it here, so not surprised it's not done as well as I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I feel like I've seen ads for Independence Day: Resurgence at least twice every hour when the TV is on. The trailer makes me think it's a movie I'll never want to catch even when it's on free TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivpvideos Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I saw it yesterday. It was ok if not pedestrian. I only paid $6 so I wasn't too upset but I wouldn't recommend it beyond a redbox or catching it on HBO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Z Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Man, what a weird year. The Legend of Tarzan is at 25% (32 reviews). I certainly thought it would do a little bit better than that. Thankfully the new Purge movie isn't in the game. It's actually rated fresh at the moment with 68% positive reviews. Who the hell could have predicted that?

Who the hell could have predicted that? The films of the franchise have markedly improved in quality since transforming from one-shot gimmick to serious dystopian social critique. It's one of those jokes where you nervously laugh Ha Ha knowing that someone somewhere actually believes that sort of government is a good idea.

S.K.o.S. Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Finding Dory essentially pulled ahead of Civil War in the box office race this past Tuesday. Dory made $14.7m on its 12th day to put it at $311.2m, while Civil War had made $5.9m back on its 12th day of release to put it at $306.6m.

J.T. Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Well, shit. Down to the cellar I go since Dory is also going to punish the box office receipts of BFG and Tarzan and Civil War was my #1 blockbuster pick. Who at Disney thought it was a bright idea to schedule BFG so close to Finding Dory? Your biggest competition on opening weekend is coming from your own company and that competition is now the biggest money maker of the season! What a nightmare this summer is. Movies you thought were going to at least get lukewarm to slightly negative receptions are getting savaged and the 4th of July go to the movies hype is like zero. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movies you thought were going to at least get lukewarm to slightly negative receptions are getting savaged and the 4th of July go to the movies hype is like zero. Many of these movies (including the ones that weren't in this contest like Free State of Jones and Popstar) needed good reviews to get even a halfway decent box office showing. I think people have the sense now that the summer movie calendar is front-loaded so they can basically pick and choose now when you have 3 to 5 major movie releases a week. If you're getting that many releases a week, that obviously means that distributors are releasing movies bi-weekly. Sometimes, you get weird cases where a studio releases a smaller release than a much bigger release the very next week. For example, you have Warner Bros. releasing something from New Line and then put a WB movie out the next week or SPE putting a Sony Pictures Classics/Screen Gems/Tri-Star film before a Columbia Pictures release. When I was doing my research for the contest, I was just blown away by that stuff considering it seemed like some of these movies were going to get cannibalized by a film from the same studio or a film that was likely going to get a way better critical reception. Then, you also get the sense that some exec was like, "You know what? Fuck it!" and tossed a few of their films to the wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
