[Liam Jinn]

I think both of the new movies open tonight, so should we have our picks in by the end of the day?

[Lilaena De'Ville]

1. The Dark Knight - 35.98 Well, why not?
2. Pineapple Express - 32.66
3. The Mummy 3 - 20.99
4. Stepbrothers - 12.87
5. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 - 11.11 why are they all wearing dresses in the poster?

edit: WAIT - are we picking from Wednesday on or for Fri-Sun like usual???

[Jedi Master Carr]

No we only doing 3 days. They are releasing them on Wed I think because of the Olympics.

[Liam Jinn]

So picks are due Friday then?

[Jedi Master Carr]

Yep normal time. Just worry about 3 day numbers.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Here are my guesses, I think it will be a close race for #1
1 The Dark Knight 24.47
2 Pineapple Express 22.11
3 The Mummy 3 14.44
4 The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 12.92
5 Mamma Mia 8.82

I changed it for two reasons. Everybody going on the PE train lol. I also lowered my numbers a lot because of the Olympics. I saw the schedule for tomorrow during the Opening Ceremonies.

LOL
Well I am 140 points behind and the only way I catch up is taking a lot of risks. The Pineapple Express isn't much of a gamble though based on Wed's numbers. I also think Step Brothers will drop hard because and Mamma Mia has been dropping great.
And Yog, i guess I will remove your early picks.

Most of us crashed and burned outside of 3 of this weekend. CMJ won the big prizes. I have to say counting only the top 12 weekends is starting to cost me and CMJ, of course it might even out later. I think last year it really didn’t make that much of a difference. That is why I am keeping both scores up there to see what happens.

Edit you know last year we had 16 weekend and this year we will have 18. So, we need to count 14 instead of 12. If I take off 6 weekends it is really going to kill some of us as well. Does anybody have objections to that?

[CMJ]

You and Yoghurt are running this thing. Do what you like. :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

Unless Yog has objections I am only not counting 4 weekends, like we did last year. Next year I am thinking about maybe go down to 2 because it only is there in case someone misses a week or two.

[Yog]

No objections here.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Dropping the lowest two scores sounds fine and dandy to me. And I ALMOST got the order right. Almost. Dang it.

Well that would be next year. We would stick with 4 since that was in the original rules. I just forgot there were 2 more weekends this summer.
