Five new films hit theaters this weekend which would wipe clean all previous films from our Weekend Box Office Prophet Game if they were included. Given the strong performance of The Expendables last weekend, I’ve decided to drop Vampires Suck from this round (due to its early Wednesday bow) and pit the four other newcomers versus Sylvester Stallone and his hired guns.
Battling The Expendables and open for your predictions below are Lottery Ticket with Bow Wow and friends, Nanny McPhee Returns, Piranha 3D with Richard Dreyfuss, Elizabeth Shue, Adam Scott, Jerry O’Connell, Ving Rhames and Christopher Lloyd, and The Switch with Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman. Once logged in at TheHDRoom, all you have to do is predict what each of these films will make at the box office between Friday, August 20 and Sunday, August 22. Your predictions will be averaged in with the other players to go up against The Prophet predictions.
Should the average player differences between the actual box office gross and predicted grosses beat the Prophet for 3 or more of the 5 films, the top player will win Date Night and The Diplomat on Blu-ray. If the Prophet comes out on top then these prizes will roll into the next round and be joined by a third. We will still award a small DVD prize to the top player finisher in this event (overall game leaderboard).
Once you are successfully logged in, the average player scores will update in real time below as new predictions are entered. The entry period will close at 9pm PST Thursday, August 19, with this round’s results being published Monday evening in our box office actuals report. Good luck to all!
