[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 8952181, member: 50987"] 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 [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/d-d-movie-hit-or-flop.696168/post-8952134']elegant and finely-crafted hyperlink.[/URL] 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! [B]The Rules[/B] [LIST] [*]To play, simply post in this thread with your prediction of the final domestic box office earnings for [I]the opening weekend [B]only[/B],[/I] 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 [I][U]without going over[/U][/I] 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 [URL='https://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/?ref_=bo_nb_hm_secondarytab']Box Office Mojo[/URL] website, for Domestic earnings, for that weekend. No other reporting agency or dollar amount will be used in this contest. [/LIST] [B]The Prize[/B] The winner will receive a £25 gift certificate to the EN Publishing store, good for the purchase of any of their fine products. [URL unfurl="true"]https://enpublishingrpg.com/[/URL] 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! [B]For Comparison[/B] Here are some notable D&D-esque movies across my lifetime. [LIST] [*]"Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (1975) grossed $1.83M on its domestic opening weekend, which would be about $10.2M today. [*]"Excalibur" (1981) grossed $4.52 million over its domestic opening weekend...that's about $14.9M today. [*]"Conan the Barbarian" (1982), grossed $9.5 million over its opening weekend. Adjusted for today's dollar, $29.5M. [*]"The Sword and the Sorcerer" (1982) grossed $1.8M on opening weekend, or $5.6M here in 2023. [*]"Krull" (1983) earned $5.47 million on opening weekend, which is about $16.4M today when adjusted for inflation. [*]"Labyrinth" (1986), earned $3.5 million on opening weekend...about $9.7M in 2023 dollars. [*]"Legend" (also 1986), grossed over $4.3 million on its opening weekend...about $11.6M today. [*]"Willow" (1988) earned $8.3 million on its opening weekend. Adjusted for today, that's $21.1M. [*]"Dungeons and Dragons" (2000) grossed $7.2 million over its opening weekend, which is about $12.6M in today's money. [*]"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" (2001) grossed $47.2 on its opening weekend, which would be $79.8M today.
