They are probably not as good as W's usual questions, but, alas, there is only one W...and it's my first time doing this so be gentle. Here you go. Make sure you read carefully, as some deal with the 4 day weekend, and some stick to the standard 3 day. I believe you can answer up to 5 this time. Also, since the DVD questions from last round are not updated yet, I will wait another day or two to update standings.

1. Will Bedtime Stories make under/over 45 mil for the 4 day weekend?
2. Will Bedtime Stories have the all time best Christmas Day opening?
3. What will have the higher second week, Tale of Despereaux or Seven Pounds?
4. Will The Spirit make over/under 15 million in the 3-DAY Christmas weekend?
5. What will have higher DVD sales, Ghost Town or The Duchess?
6. Will the Wrestler take the PTA crown again this week?

4. Under
2 No
3. Despereaux

by mfrendo Fri Dec 26, 2008 12:59 am

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to pick, since I made the questions, but I'll go with:

#4 - Under

by **geezer9687** Fri Dec 26, 2008 2:30 am

Yeah frendo you can definitely pick.

3. Tale of Desperaux

Interesting doing this without the results. If my streak is still going I only want to pick the above 2 answers. If I have lost my streak I would pick the most answers I could (5?). I am not complaining, it is santa

after all. I actually quite like the added strategic twist it brings. Smile

by mfrendo Fri Dec 26, 2008 8:27 am

Well, Leestu, I can say that you have the last two right from last week, however, your first answer, about Mamma Mia, isn't answered yet...

by mfrendo Tue Dec 30, 2008 1:30 pm

Okay, I'm trying to update from the game two weeks ago, but the sales chart for dvd's still isn't up yet. I'm pretty sure it's going to Mamma Mia, and may just go with that as the answer, if that's cool for everyone (just wanna get this thing going). Also, anyone know on the PTA for opening weekend of the Class: 3 and higher or 2 and lower?

Doesn't really matter anymore because The Tale Of Desperaux, being beaten by 7 Pounds have ended my streak.

by mfrendo Fri Jan 02, 2009 1:36 pm

Okay, the DVD rental/sales from two weeks ago are finally in...so this is the scoring (for those who played) for the week ending the 21st (which means last weeks is still not tallied into this, due to dvd info taking forever). And I don't think I can change the first post with the totals, since W wrote it.

Geez - +3...total streak = 7
A_Roode - +4...total = 7
leestu - + 3...total = 7
mfrendo - +3...total = 7
donte - +4...total = 6
alyson - +4...total = 5
W - +4...total = 4

The following missed one or more, so I'll just give new total.

Keyser - 2
TBB - 1
Undeadmonkey - 1
JackO - 1
Mannix - 1
IPKI - 1
numbersix - 1
tranny - 0
Busc - 0

by mfrendo Fri Jan 02, 2009 1:43 pm

Okay, after I finished that, I looked at last week, and only one person answered the DVD question, so I'm gonna post scores for those who played minus that one (A_Roode, we'll get to your answer once the totals are up...). After this, if it's cool with W, I'll prob not do dvd questions (while I'm doing it) so the totals can come in faster...

W - +3...total = 7
A_Roode - +1...total = 8 (with Duchess question still pending)
Geez - +3...total = 10 (now in lead)
Busc - +3...total = 3
mfrendo - +1...total = 8

Leestu and Keyser are both back to 0 after playing Despereaux over 7 pounds.

by mfrendo Fri Jan 02, 2009 1:51 pm

Okay, I know it's a bit late, but here are questions for this week (new totals are given above for previous weeks...). There are no new releases coming out (wide at least), so all of the questions are comparisons and all are for the weekend.

1. Higher PTA - Gran Torino or Revolutionary Road?
2. Higher Box Office - Tale of Despereaux or Seven Pounds?
3. Higher Box Office - Day The Earth Stood Still or The Spirit?
4. Higher PTA - The Reader or Frost/Nixon?
5. Higher BO - 4 Xmases or Twilight?
6. Higher BO - Bedtime Stories or Benjamin Button?

Hopefully we'll get some more releases next week...

For my picks, I'm going to go with:
1. Rev. Road
4. Frost/Nixon
6. Bedtime Stories

by A_Roode Sun Jan 04, 2009 4:55 am

Shoot, I didn't get a chance to make my picks this week. Does that mean my streak is ended?

by **geezer9687** Sun Jan 04, 2009 5:14 am

No Roode, just that you can't add any. Your current streak remains

by A_Roode Sun Jan 04, 2009 7:15 pm

I haven't had my coffee yet this morning and am still a bit foggy-brained. Assuming I pick 2 films next week and am right, is my streak then two or will it be my previous eight plus two? I guess what I'm not sure about is if missing a week counts as a time out without penalty or if not picking in consecutive weeks means I start over.

by **geezer9687** Sun Jan 04, 2009 9:06 pm

You do not start over. You're streak remains wherever it was before the week. Missing a week has no impact on your streak whatsoever.
