Box Office Blitz Week 20 Results!

As predicted it wasn't even a contest this week.  "Catching Fire Catches Fire" or some variation thereof is the headline every hack headline writer will be using this week.  Meanwhile Thor 2 dropped another 60% after a 57% drop the week before.  As I said, Mouse House should be worried.

The estimated results are:
Catching Fire $161M
Thor 2 $14.1M
Best Man Holiday $12.5M

And my awesome picks were:
  1. Hunger Games 2 $100M
  2. Thor 2 $18M
  3. Best Man Holiday $15M
Though admittedly I was way off on the dollar amounts.  It's still a trifecta.

And thanks for all the birthday wishes and Tweets.  Everyone (but me) will get 100 extra points this week.

Maurice Mitchell picked:
1. Hunger Games 2 $98M
2. Thor: The Dark World $23M
3. Best Man Holiday $16M

That's also a trifecta plus 100 bonus for 1000 points.

David Walston picked:
1. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire $180M
2 .Thor: The Dark World $18M
3. The Best Man Holiday 15M

That's also 1000 points

Michael Offutt picked:
1) The Hunger Games $110 million
2) Thor $21 million
3) The Best Man Holiday $18 million

Also 1000 points

Briane Pagel picked:
1. Hunger Games 2: Hunger Boogaloo. (That joke never gets old): $80mil.
2. Dallas Buyer's club $20 mil
3. 500 Vince Vaughns: $10 mil.

That's 200 for Hunger Games 2 plus 100 bonus for 300 points.  Though if I could I'd give him a million bonus points for the birthday emails and tweets.  (OK I could but that wouldn't be fair to everyone else.)

Andrew Leon picked:
1. Catching Fire: $155m
2. Thor 2: $16m
3. Best Man Holiday: $15m

That's also 1000 points.

Chris Dilloway picked:
Hunger games 2 - $142m
Thor 2 - $16m
Best Man - $10m

That's also 1000 points

Rusty picked:
Catching Fire: $130 mil
Thor 2: $17 mil
Best Man Holiday - $16 mil

That's also 1000 which clinches the regular season win for Rusty.  Congrats!  Now he can rest up for the playoffs.

Andrew Leon picked the closest on the Hunger Games 2 so he gets the extra 300 for the round.

Here are the updated standings going into the final week of the regular season:

Dueling brothers? If I dueled with my brother there would be bloodshed.

Rusty may have won IN POINTS, but I won IN SPIRIT, and winning in spirit is just like losing.

(Think that saying will catch on?)

Rusty Carl said...

Sweet! What a glorious comeback after a subpar first half year.

And I'm ok with Briane getting the spirit award.
