Good Job Lilaena, I also caught up some ground but will need a great labor day weekend to win.

[CMJ]

I usually do pretty lousy on holiday weekends for some reason. I'm expecting a defeat at this point. Is this the score with the weekends thrown out, or is that even closer?

[Jedi Master Carr]

I think you gain 5 points on me because of 0 you got one weekend.

[Yog]

Wow, what a terrible ending of the box office season for me. I guess between all the traveling this late summer and a million other things on my mind, it all took a toll on my prediction accuracy, and ability to stay updated on numbers, trends, tracking etc. Tanking all the bonus weekends did not help the slightest either.

I don't expect much of this weekend, because once again I have to submit my picks early again, due to Dragoncon. And obviously, it is a 2 man race at this point. Good luck to CMJ / Carr. May the best win!

[Crusader]

ROFL just looked up the numbers at BO Mojo and then I realized how crappy this weekend is.

But according to my calculations I should score 2x35=70points

[Jedi Master Carr]

I do think CMJ will win unless the 4 day actuals are different than I think.

[Crusader]

Are those the already adjusted numbers up there? If those are just the totals, this weekend might give me the chance to come in second this year but this depends on how much you and Yogs have scored this weekend.

If those are right my score will go even more up....I have got the closest numbers for number 1 and number 5 and the order of 3 movies right.
(25+5+15)x2=90 points for this weekend

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Wow! That was a terrible weekend. Guess summer really is over. :(

[Xavier Synik]

I think it was cause there was actually good weather in most of the East for the first time this summer.

And my scores for the summer are going to suck since I basically fell asleep on putting up my picks after I left for vaca in early Aug.

Actually we are considering 4 day numbers so you might to wait on that.

[Crusader]

This is a 4 day weekend???

[Liam Jinn]

Monday was a Holiday in the US, so yes. That's why Labor Day was included in the title. Sucks I missed it...

[Crusader]

I expected that the holiday was part of the 3 days since it was nowhere mentioned in the title...I should have done my homework...

the minus two weekends helped you out CMJ :) It was almost a tie but once I minused out our lowest two weekends you won. Funny that 0 helped you. I almost caught you, man this was one of our closest contests.

[CMJ]

Whew! I knew that big lead wasn't safe. :lol

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well it was close if I had gotten one more movie right I would have won. Still good job holding me off :)

[Crusader]

Hell, my race against Yogs got pretty intense as well: There is only a small difference in the total numbers...I accomplished my goal for this year: Get a better position than last year(5)!

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Time for the stripping of the title from last year and the awarding to CMJ. :) I'll try to get to it this weekend. :D COngrats to the winner!

[Liam Jinn]

At least I beat LD :p

[Crusader]

Thanks to all of you and congrats to CMJ.
I am looking forward to play with you, guys and girls, again next summer.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

At least I beat LD :p
You should feel horrible for beating a pregnant woman. :colbert Have you no shame?

;)

[Liam Jinn]

I do feel horrible for beating you. :dance

[Crusader]

^^So he is indeed the balck sheep of SW-Fans!

[Lykaios]

Sweet! At least I didn't finish last
