Since redbear and I both had the same prediction ,how will 3rd and 4th place be done.

you will split whatever your prize is;

the numbers

$52.4 million on Friday (I am assuming it doesn't include Thursday night)
$46.5 million on Saturday
$34.8 million on Sunday
=
$133.7 million

not including

Thursday ($7.2 million est.)
and
IMAX ($10.2 million est.)

Paramount has not released the final numbers yet

'Iron Man 2' tops weekend with $128.1M debut (AP)

Looks like $128.1 million is the final number.

and that does includes Thursday Night and IMAX?

I'd assume so. It's the total gross so far for the U.S.

I am not sure if this includes IMAX and Thursday.

I think when they officially count weekend box office, they don't count Thursday night showings as part of the weekend (Fri, Sat and Sun).

If I go by $128.1; then according to the predictions posted here:

http://www.movie-list.com/forum/show...6&postcount=33

the winners are:

Hardkore $115m
redbear $115m
goodasgold $120m
ClaytonMG $122m

BUT

if I assume the $128.1 doesn't include Thursday Night ($7.2 million est.)
and
IMAX ($10.2 million est.)

that would make the gross $145.4 which will give us a different set of winners:

once again, going by the predictions posted here:

http://www.movie-list.com/forum/show...6&postcount=33

goodasgold $120m
ClaytonMG $122m
stardragon $135m
j7wild $139m
jacques1400 $142m

I'm not counting myself as a winner; my post was a joke!


BUT

if I assume the $128.1 includes Thursday Night but doesn't include

IMAX ($10.2 million est.)

that would make the gross $138.3 which will give us yet another different set of winners:

once again, going by the predictions posted here:

http://www.movie-list.com/forum/show...6&postcount=33

Hardkore $115m
redbear $115m
goodasgold $120m
ClaytonMG $122m
stardragon $135m

So how do we decide who wins?




------------------

EDIT:

p.s. after I've posted this reply; I ran into this article:

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=2766&p=.htm

2nd paragraph:

Iron Man 2's distributor Paramount Pictures estimated its weekend at $133.6 million on Sunday, overshooting the actual gross by $5.5 million due to bullish estimates for Friday and Sunday and an even more bullish projection for Sunday. The sequel's daily pattern ended up being similar to the original's, and it showed on close to 10,000 screens at a record 4,380 theaters. Its gross included 181 IMAX runs, which generated $9.8 million.

so it seems the winners may very well be:

Hardkore $115m
redbear $115m
goodasgold $120m
ClaytonMG $122m

if that's the case, I think

ClaytonMG should get 1st prize
goodasgold gets 2nd prize
Hardkore and redbear split 3rd prize
and no one gets 4th prize

[jacques1400]

Be it as it may, can we actually get real figures or not ?
The deal was Thursday + Friday + Weekend icluding IMAX, so now it appears that we are looking around for usable, if not mostly speculative numbers, instead of actual earnings.
Is there a real source or are we just winging it.

[ClaytonMG]

If you go to Boxofficemojo.com, they list the "Domestic Total" as $128,122,480. I am not sure if by total they mean that litterally to include all the money it's made so far though. They also break it down by day and they don't list Thursday as a real day, so I am guessing the midnight showings count toward Friday. I don't know for sure if that would include the IMAX showings. It would make sense if it would since it labels it as the domestic total, suggesting that it's the total of everything. However, I can't find anything that actually says IMAX on there.

EDIT: Nevermind about the IMAX thing, I just saw what j7 said and it appears that the total does include IMAX on there as well.

So, who do I give the prize to ?!?

[j7wild]

So, who do I give the prize to ?!?

No one.

I'm using 128.1 million as the final number.

SO the winners are:

Hardkore $115m
redbear $115m
goodasgold $120m
ClaytonMG $122m



ClaytonMG will get 1st prize
goodasgold gets 2nd prize
Hardkore and redbear split 3rd prize
and no one gets 4th prize

[michalz00]

No one.

... or I could give it to ClaytonMG and make him the ultimate winner

[j7wild]

... or I could give it to ClaytonMG and make him the ultimate winner

they are your credits; do what you want with them



but since you were supposed to give them out as the 4th prize and we don't have a 4th prize winner because Hardkore and redbear are tied in 3rd place, I would hang on to it for next time

giving it to ClaytonMG will not be fair to the other winners either because he will be getting 2 prizes instead of one

[j7wild]

all prizes have been sent to the winners!!



ClaytonMG is now our newest Billionaire!!



only 2.5 billion separates me and michalz00 now from 1st and 2nd place



thank you to everyone who played!!

[ClaytonMG]

Wow thanks guys!!!

[Mithrandir01]

Weekend actual:

$128,122,480

Enjoy your prizes :-)

[goodasgold]

Cool! Second place is pretty good...pretty good indeed.
