Key Points to Remember:
- Rank your top 5 Overall Box Office movies from highest --> lowest
- Do not rank your top 5 by opening weekend
- Sales figures will round up to the nearest million
- If you over-estimate the actual Box Office your total will be zero
- Movies not in the top 5 Overall Box Office will count as zero
- Some movies are 3D and/or IMAX potentially affecting sales
- Some movies open early or land on holidays potentially affecting weekend sales
- US holidays include May 4th and July 4th
- Later movies have less potential for Overall Box Office sales
- For simplicity we are using IMDB/Exhibitor Relations for US release dates, US Box Office summary, and disregarding the global box office
- The Hunger Games shows it is very difficult for the US Box Office to gain more than $150M for a 3 day weekend even playing on 4000 screens
Recent Box Office Records
[HP72] 169M - 381M
