I have the results, John. You did earn an IM in Round One, and you also finished in the Top 2 in Round 2. Thing is, you can't earn multiple IMs.

So now your safety net is gone. You seem to be in pretty good in Round Four, anyway.

I know. It's just annoying that I did so well for two rounds then fell so hard. That what happens when you go from being one of the few who was right about Die Hard 5: Mission To Moscow to being one of the few who foolishly left Iron Man 3 off his slate. Not sure what I was thinking there but my math was obviously screwy.

Inch or a mile baby, inch or a mile!!

I just mailed out the passwords for Round Six to those still alive in it, and I also mailed the passwords for the 2nd-Half leagues to everyone.

Check your inboxes and get in ASAP.

Now, I know I'm no longer in the pricing guild (or whatever the hell it's called) but who decided that Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain should only be $2? It's getting a wide release (one of the theatres near me has been selling tickets for the past few movies), Hart's last concert film did well in a much smaller number of theatres and it's opening on Independence Day weekend. This could make $15-20 million in the first five days but it gets priced below a number of no hoper titles.

Apparently you are the only one who assumes it is opening wide. Because according to BOM, it is not. It should also have a bad imdb score, get very few if any PTA points, and not a single top 5. When is the last time a stand up movie did well at the box office? I think the answer is never.

It's actually only $2 in BO. I think the $4 in Ultimate is fair. I priced it at $3 in BO as I assumed a 4-5 multiple in my prices, meaning I'm expecting it to earn 12-15m, or double what his last film made. This is to factor in a studio releasing it this time. I'd be surprised if it made over 20m this time.

That's a crazy low multiplier when Monsters U is locked in at just over 30 dollars and MOS at $38, Six. I was shooting for 7, 6 at the absolute lowest. In which case, 2 dollars seems highly appropriate. Multiplier has to come from the prices we don't get to set for the season, otherwise the pricing will become lopsided.

Actually, for the summer I use a different multiplier for super-wide releases, usually around 7-8. For limited minor wide releases I still think 4-5 is more accurate. I don't think a one-size-fits-all multiplier even works.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought, Shryke, that it was in BO FY that I had an IM, not in BO HY ? Am I wrong ?

Yes, you are.

Here are your final results in Rounds One and Two:

BO FY R1: 40th place
BO FY R2: 11th place

BO HY R1: 3rd place (IM awarded)
BO HY R2: 32nd place (IM lost)

So actually, you don't have an IM in either league now.

I thought Chien was given an IM for winning one of the mini-super leagues. Don't know where he placed that IM, though, if he was.

I did Empire, and it was in the BO FY tournament, that's where my IM is, correct me if I'm wrong Shryke. But If I wasn't cut in any BO FY tournie since the beginning of the year, then I still have that BO FY IM...
