Is It going to be huge or not? If so, looks like Winston may take it again.

Oddly enough, it's looking like it might be. The history of Stephen King at the box office is not a pretty picture, so I thought it was safe to pass on that one. But it's got next-to-zero competition and the reviews are actually remarkably good.Quoting Ezee E (view post)

I'm in. Lamenting my choice of many mediocre comedies. Seems like they just don't sustain much anymore--though nothing really sustains anymore.

IT tracking for 85 million weekend!
I've come up with a very silly new stat to quantify how well players have done historically. I will call it DSQ (Draft Success Quotient).
I calculated it by taking the number of times you have won a draft round versus your opponents (selected the movie with the highest box office total), minus the number of times you have selected the worst grossing movie in a round, divided by your total number of rounds played.
If you selected a 'round average', that round does not count for you (kind of like talking a walk in baseball). If you selected a replacement film in a given round, that score does count.
I've totaled up everyone's DSQ throughout all seasons played, including this one (but only for rounds that have been completed). Naturally, the more often you've played, the more accurate your DSQ.
Again, I realize this is very silly.
Anyway, here you go ... (wins/losses/total rounds played)
1. Winston (13/2/27) .407
2. Skitch (14/4/36) .278
3. Henry Gale (4/1/13) .231
4. transmogrifier (3/1/9) .222
5. Ezee (12/6/44) .136
6. Ivan (12/8/45) .089
7. Lazlo (10/8/44) .045
8. Duke (5/6/43) -.023
9. TGM (8/9/34) -.029
10. Spinal (9/13/44) -.091
11. Gizmo (4/6/18) -.111
12. dreamdead (4/7/18) -.167

Woo-hoo!
Looks about right. Nice formula!
Well, it looks like Winston's DSQ is going up even higher.
Probably Skitch's too.

Just want to give everyone a head's up that we'll start drafting tomorrow evening, so you may want to take a look at the upcoming movies schedule if you haven't already.

After doing the math, I concluded that I need to make more than $154,342,588 in order to beat Skitch. That out of the way.....

Did you include It's gross?
I estimate Kingsman will need to make around $180 to push Ivan over the top.
Edit: just a guess off the top of my head.
