The Lounge of the Summer Forecast!
Just enter with my cynical mentality, Laura. Think, "I'm just going to randomly guess, even though I'm going to be wrong. But whatever." Then, when you don't win, as will most likely happen, it won't be a surprise. And if you somehow DO win, bingo!

I was thinking that myself, and I know they definitely rose here this weekend. Oh wellLaura Ingalls wrote:We want the pictures of the gas prices!
I'm going to be way off. I thought the prices would rise with all the holiday traffic....apparently not. Boooooooooo!
I thought of that after I made my guess and was upset with myself. I'm surprised and glad it didn't matter.Laura Ingalls wrote:I thought the prices would rise with all the holiday traffic

Question: Is the Despicable Me 2 forecast based on the 3-day (Wed-Thurs-Fri) or 5-day total?

Weekend numbers are always based on the first Friday, Saturday and Sunday of a movie's release.

Yeah, Box Office Mojo is where I usually go to get my weekend forecasts. So, yeah, I was aware that the estimates are based on Fri-Sat-Sun numbers. But Despicable Me 2 was released on Wednesday, so the "weekend" number is generally being based on the 5-day period that it was out. I wasn't sure which one you'd be basing our competition on.

In that case, everyone failed, because the movie made like $140M over the 5-day period. I wouldn't have projected $70M if we were including the weekdays.Christian A. wrote:Yeah, Box Office Mojo is where I usually go to get my weekend forecasts.

Also, I've never known anyone to consider Wed-Thurs-Fri to be the "opening weekend", so I don't think we'll start now.

I know. I have yet to win a ticket for being right on a prediction. =p So I am definitely not dominating.

Oh, I gave out $10 for every ticket people had won from weeks 1-5. I announced it during the first week, but it hasn't been mentioned for awhile.
More money will be dished out for weeks 6-10, since you guys like it so much.
