Week 4 game is up. Remember your totals.

1. The Pink Panther 2 $22.7m
2. He's Just Not That Into You $21.0m
3. Push $14.8m
4. Taken $14.0m

10. The Uninvited $5.0m

I keep forgetting to join in on this, but this is the week! I need a quick refresher though. Taking 'Pink Panther 2' as an example, if I say 'Over,' does that mean I think it will do better than the 22.7 million prediction, or does it mean I think the 22.7 million prediction is Over what it will actually score?

Over means that it will make more than the provided figure.

Thought I'd better get clarification before I start playing backwards, *lol* Thank you!

Donte did that exact thing for his first 3 weeks or so playing the game. This just proves that you are smarter than him for asking first

If it is not too late (Friday 8:00 AM), I'd like to change my choice for Coraline to OVER based on the reviews I read last night.

Hey, I resemble that remark.

Actually I am so used to being right that I just assumed I was.

And I am so goddamn cool that I also assumed that if I was wrong, everyone else would assume I was right and then everybody else would change the rules and they would be playing backwards.

Neither worked.


Sorry about missing last week guys. We were without power for almost a week and I only had limited web access at my bosses house on Friday and Saturday. My power came back on Saturday night.

Yeah, the ice storm was pretty bad over there and in the Boothill too. Luckily in my area (far from the Boothill and Arkansas), it wasn't so bad (unlike in early 2007, in which they to bring in the fucking National Guard for clean-up).

You were without power for a week!!! How did you live??

Going to be some pretty ugly scores this week

We lived much like I am picking Over Under scores. Badly and with much regret. LOL

It wasn't terrible. I didn't have to work for 3 days so there is that...

Was it something to do with weather that caused the power failure, Donte? Weird weather we are having right now. In the UK it's snowing continuously, here we have bush fires due to the heat... Its a weird world we live in.

I'll have the scores up soon btw.

Okay, a shocking week really, most players underperformed apart from Roodey in his first week! Funnily enough, although he had the best score, he was also the furthest off the total BO takings for the top ten by almost $40m! Donte was closest to the bonus, missing it by $2.3m.

Here are the scores:

A_Roode - 80
Keyser Soze - 60
Donte77 - 50
Buscemi - 40
SuperShaan - 60
Geezer9687 - 50
transformers2 - 10
Shrykespeare - 20
numbersix99 - 10
JackO - 40
silversurfer19 - 50
leestu - 50
undeadmonkey - 40

Also of interest, I think we also have a new record for worst scores, six and transformers taking the honours. Man, that was a bad week!

I no longer have the lowest score of all-time! Woo!

*lol* Yeah, apparently just guessing wildly at the final number isn't much of a strategy! I'll have to come up with something a little more scientific.
