Limit Break Dancing
It's been a long time since I've done one of these little guessing games, so I think we're overdue. Let's get this party started!
As we all know, the new D&D Movie, "Honor Among Thieves," is scheduled to be released in theaters on March 31st, 2023. Some folks here think it's going to be a smash hit, others think it's going to be a flop, and I think it'll be somewhere in between. In fact, there's a whole other thread about that, right over here at this elegant and finely-crafted hyperlink.
So let's have a little fun with that speculation, shall we? I ask you, gentle reader: how much money do you think this movie is going to make on opening weekend? Post your guess in this thread, and maybe win a prize!
The Rules
The Prize
The winner will receive a £25 gift certificate to the EN Publishing store, good for the purchase of any of their fine products.

When the box office results are released for the opening weekend (probably sometime in the week after), I will reach out to the winner by private message and swap information. Then I'll send you the coupon code for your £25 gift certificate to the EN Publishing store.
So post your best guess, and good luck! May the odds be ever in your favor!
For Comparison
Here are some notable D&D-esque movies across my lifetime.

So let's have a little fun with that speculation, shall we? I ask you, gentle reader: how much money do you think this movie is going to make on opening weekend? Post your guess in this thread, and maybe win a prize!
The Rules
- To play, simply post in this thread with your prediction of the final domestic box office earnings for the opening weekend only, for "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves." No purchase necessary, some restrictions apply, void where prohibited, etc.
- Your guess must be in U.S. Dollar amounts ($USD).
- You must post your guess before the movie opens in theaters. For the purpose of this contest, all votes posted after 11:59 p.m. PST on March 30th, will be ignored.
- The person who comes closest to the final dollar amount without going over will win the prize. Just like on "The Price Is Right."
- In the unlikely event of a tie, the person who posted the correct amount first will win.
- If you post more than one guess, or if you edit your post, you will be disqualified.
- For the purpose of this contest, the final dollar count from opening weekend will be the one posted to the Box Office Mojo website, for Domestic earnings, for that weekend. No other reporting agency or dollar amount will be used in this contest.
The Prize
The winner will receive a £25 gift certificate to the EN Publishing store, good for the purchase of any of their fine products.
