April Pick'Em Game

These are due before the beginning of the first weekend of the month!

So, a new game will replace my streak game since it was killed in my absence. I'm going to put up a list of items each month (20 for 4 weekend months, 25 for 5 weekend months) and you will pick the film that wins. One point per correct pick. For all the questions, we will be using the newest pricing list. It can go backwards (i.e. if you think MvA will win the first week of April, put it). Basically, that is it.

1. Top 5 and PTA winners each of the 4 weeks of April. (8 points total)
2. The top IMDB rating of the new releases each week. (4 points total)
3. The top OW of the month will be which film? (1 point)
4. The lowest OW to win a weekend will be which film? (1 point)
5. The two best "Bang For Your Buck" OW of the month (OW/BO Price)? (2 points)

VS. (4 points)
6. Better OW: Crank or Crank 2?
7. Better OW: The Fast and The Furious OR Fast and Furious?
8. Better OW: Hannah Montana: The Movie or Hannah Montana Concert Tour?
9. Better OW: Dragonball: Evolution or Street Fighter (1994)?

BONUS
What will be Earth's five day total in millions (+ or - $1 million)?

Questions:

2.Is it all releases or just wide releases?
3.Is this the biggest opening of the month?
5.Will this be for just Box Office prices?

2. All of that weekends releases.
3. Yes, of the month... Sorry.

Tough start for Buscemi...but don't bring up F&F to him!

Ouch yeah. He missed 4 points for FandF. See I hate the movie as much as him but I am a pessimist and I assume that people will see it anyway. LOL

What was the winner of IMDB for the first weekend? I should have checkd and didn't idiotically... They lock at the end of each week when the actuals come out. When they do come out this week, I'm going to try to remember to come up with a half-way score.

Bart got a Room

1. 3 points for me.
1st week; Fast and Furious wins PTA and Top 5 crown
2nd week; Hannah wins Top 5, Lymelife barely registers. (8 Total)
2. Zero points for me.
1st week; Bart got a Room gets an 8.2
2nd week: Anvil gets an 8.8 (4 Total)
3. 1 Point for me. F and F will not lose this month.
4. The lowest OW to win a weekend will be which film? (1 point)

7 Points total so far.

Answers so far:
1. 4/3 Fast and Furious, Fast and Furious
4/10 Hannah Montana, Anvil

2. 4/3 Bart Got A Room
4/10 Anvil

7. Fast and Furious
8. HM: The Movie
9. Street Fighter (1994)

JackO = 6/8
W = 5/8
Donte = 5/8
Brockman = 5/8
Buscemi = 3/8
Geezer = 3/8

Only 6? Maybe we'll get more for May?

Actually Hannah Montana: The Movie beat the Concert movie. Concert made $31,117,834. The Movie made $32,324,487.

Yep... Just typed wrong I guess. It won't affect the scores.

This week's answers are:
1. 17 Again, Every Little Step
2. State of Play/Crank 2 (7.9)
6. Crank

JackO = 8/12
W = 6/12
Donte = 6/12
Brockman = 6/12
Buscemi = 4/12
Geezer = 4/12

If this were a test, only one of us would be passing at this point...

So far:
3. Fast and Furious $70.1 M (won't be beat)
4. 17 Again (probably be Obsessed, but who knows?)
5. Fast and Furious (3.94), Hannah Montana (2.01)

1.
A. Fast & Furious, Fast and Furious
B. Hannah Montana, Anvil
C. 17 Again, Every Little Step
D. Obsessed, Obsessed
2.
A. Bart Got a Room
B. Anvil
C. State of Play/Crank 2
D. Earth
3. Fast and Furious
4. 17 Again
5. Fast and Furious, Obsessed
6. Crank
7. Fast and Furious
8. HM: The Movie
9. Street Fighter (1994)
BONUS: $14.473 M

Results
JackO: 11/20
W: 10/20
Donte: 8/20
Brockman: 7/20
Geezer: 6/20
Buscemi: 4/20

Wow, we all suck! 11/20 does not sound like a good score for the winner. Maybe its because its the first time around. Maybe its because of the specific month? Maybe those are just the numbers we should expect. We all should do better next time.
