Do you usually discount projections (guesses, estimates, whatever you want to call them) the way you have with Avengers?

Obviously you think it will open lower than what the board does, otherwise you wouldn't keep on with the "guessing" schtick.

I can't recall you being so blatant about this before.

BOM: AVNGR at 4,349 Theatre Count is the seventh (7th) Widest Release Opening.   RotoHockeyYTD2012 on May 03, 17:26

Worth noting BOM is projecting a 172.5 opening too... {nm}   Carcharodon on May 03, 18:52

"guessing" {nm}   Antibody on May 03, 19:26

Isn't everybody, with some using perhaps better data than others. Guessing is Guessing. Knowing is Knowing. {nm}   RotoHockey on May 03, 19:31

Yes, percising my point His guess is no better than some guess lower. Nobody knows anything, as the saying goes. {nm}   Antibody on May 03, 19:56

I question whenever ther's assumption or over-reliance on guesses/opinions that's not backed up by actual data. {nm}   Antibody on May 03, 20:00

It's a semantics issue. "projection" indicates that it is based on some hard data, which none of the "predictions" posted are,    BionicMoron on May 03, 20:02

I know if I ran a site like this, I'd want to keep things on an even keel as much as possible...   tealfan on May 03, 20:08

There so much herd mentality here, so I'm trying to get people to think for themselves. {nm}   Antibody on May 03, 20:09

I just don't recall you shooting down 'guesses' like this before.   Tanker on May 03, 20:27

I said Peterlee is on crack below. {nm}   Antibody on May 03, 20:45

Are you guessing he he is on crack or do you have data to back that up? {nm}   Tanker on May 04, 05:48

He does seem to have a similar crusade against it as TWW had against Hunger Games (somewhat ironic) {nm}   MiyazakiFan on May 03, 21:36

i don't have anything against AVNGR, only questioning people's assumption that's not based on data. {nm}   Antibody on May 03, 21:59

We will know for sure on Sunday. No need to re-assure yourself of the way you are holding your stock position (long or short) {nm}   arf on May 03, 21:34

Using the highest per theatre average for 2012 ($38,672) and 4349 theatre count for AVNGR, only works out to $168M for AVGNR Weekend {nm}   elchan on May 03, 21:33

LOL "only" {nm}   thatpj on May 04, 00:25

Or should I say, "a MINIMUM or $168"? {nm}   elchan on May 04, 06:48
