THE OFFICIAL 2013 FANTASY GAME THREAD v2.0

[Geezer]

Ahh, so sawbran switched his slate around. That will almost certainly spell doom for Empire. Sorry bud! I feel your pain.

God damn Oblivion.

[empire13]

Ah, well... so, I guess I will miss this thing by a single spot. Might only be a $1 million difference. Man, I hate it when I'm right.

Sorry Geez, I too feel your pain.

[Shrykespeare]

I've plugged the weekend's estimates into the grid, and the numbers look a little more solid... and there's one surprise development in the BO FY.


BO FY R4

As of this moment, Fixius and Shonenbat get the IMs, but I have no numbers for the indie films yet.


T25. Shaan, $678.3M (IM)
T25. Six, $678.3M (IM)
27. Jas, $675.7M (IM)
--------------------------------------
28. Bossk, $665.0M
29. JackO, $649.5M
30. UDM, $647.7M
31. Chien, $610.9M (IM)
32. Ozzy, $600.6M (IM)
33. Audrey, $585.0M

So Jas ends up passing Bossk. Didn't see that coming.



BO HY R4

8. Scripps, $727.7M
9. W, $727.5M
T10. Ron B, $726.3M
T10. Shryke, $726.3M
12. Shaan, $721.9M
13. sawbran, $720.3M
-----------------------------------------------
14. empire, $718.0M
15. JackO, $706.0M
16. Geezer, $701.1M

Also out: Jas, bestfilm, UDM, Six, pulpdogs, redraider, and wcrew. Keyser loses his IM.

[Shrykespeare]

I'm missing some date for the Ultimate tourneys, but here's how I have it right now.

Ult FY R4

Top 2 goes to Spectre (who doesn't have an IM) and surfer (who does).

Eliminated will be englishozzy, Ron Burgundy, W and audreytheconqueror. Jas will lose his IM.

All I'm missing is the PTA numbers for this weekend, but the only one of those five who had any of this week's indie films was Jas (Byzantium), and even if that film got 5 points, I don't think it would elevate him enough to get out of the RZ.


Ult HY R4

Definitely out: audrey, Brockster, Scripps, Ozzy, Shryke, and Walleye. Ron B will be saved by his IM.




If all of these numbers hold, we will be down to only four players yet to be cut in any tournament: Chien, donnie, Shaan and Shonenbat.

10. Six, 38.5 pts
----------------------------------------
11. Shonenbat, 38 pts (IM)
12. kblane, 37.5 pts (IM)

Pullin' for ya, Six, since Shonie and kblane are into the final round anyway.

[empire13]

I'm still holding out slim hope that White House Down will underperform more than the numbers suggest, and that Star Trek can get me another 1.5-2 million. Or, that Man of Steel has a slightly larger drop than expected. Oh, and that The Heat doesn't perform any better than the numbers indicate. One of those scenarios may be enough to allow me the opportunity to squeak by sawbran. Some studios do have a tendency to inflate numbers on opening weekend for the sake of appearance.

Hey, a man has to have hope! He's just gotta!

[Shrykespeare]

Sorry, empire. The Sunday estimates only increased the gap between you and sawbran. You will finish around $5M apart.


BO FY R4

1. Fixius, $840.6M
2. Shonenbat, $810.0M (beats wcrew by $92K and donnie/aquamann/Shryke by $257K)

Eliminated: Bossk, JackO, UDM, audrey
Loses their IM: Chien, Ozzy


BO HY R4

Moving on to final round: Shonenbat, aquamann, donnie, Ozzy, Fixius, Chien, Brockster, Scripps, W, Shaan, Ron B, Shryke, sawbran, KeyserSoze

Eliminated: empire, Geezer, JackO, Jas, bestfilm, UDM, Six, pulpdogs, redraider, wcrew



Ult FY R4

Top 2: Spectre, Surfer

Eliminated: audrey, W, Ron B, bestfilm (not ozzy)
Loses his IM: Jas


Ult HY R4

Moving on to final round: empire, Surfer, Shaan, Geezer, donnie, Chien, wcrew, Jas, Six, Shonenbat, leestu, kblane, Ron B

Eliminated: Scripps, audrey, Brockster, Shryke, Ozzy, Walleye

[empire13]

Khaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!

Congrats to all who advanced to the final round.

[Chienfantome]

If all of these numbers hold, we will be down to only four players yet to be cut in any tournament: Chien, donnie, Shaan and Shonenbat.

I love reading my name in that sentence

[JohnErle]

I hope the next round will be set up ASAP because this week's big movies are both opening at 7pm Tuesday here in Vancouver, which is less than 48 hours away, and I'm assuming it's the same thing all over North America. That doesn't give people a lot of time to log in and set up their slates before Despicable Me 2 gets locked down, and without it you probably don't stand a chance.

[Shrykespeare]

Doing it now. You may all check your inboxes for the passwords.

I can tell you right now that the September films have NOT been added to the Master List yet. I will provide a copy of the Jul-Sep pricing schemes either tonight or tomorrow at the latest.

I have already set up the Regulars Leagues and the 3rd Quarter Bankrupts. They are in Public Leagues.

[Buscemi]

I can't access the Regulars leagues.

[Shrykespeare]

All of the leagues seem to be working except for the two Regulars Leagues. When I hit the Join button, nothing happens. I have sent an e-mail to Mario to check it out. If I don't hear from him by tomorrow, I'll create new leagues with an asterisk to see if that works.

[Buscemi]

Thanks. I really want to pick Despicable Me 2 and Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain by Tuesday night.

[empire13]

Thanks. I really want to pick Despicable Me 2 and Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain by Tuesday night.

You and everybody else.

[Buscemi]

I knew I wasn't the only one who saw Let Me Explain for $2 as a total steal.
