Roger, thanks so much for putting this together. Truthfully, I'm honored that you even included me in the list and
I'm simply stunned that I had the best average on both years. As far as how to make money doing this... I'm still trying to figure that out. I've been doing this for almost 5 years now and I've yet to make a dime... it's all been for the love of box office. If any one knows anybody that would like to pay me to be their own personal box office psychic, I'm all ears!
Following on from last night's movie prediction accuracy thread, here are the accuracy figures for 2011 and 2010. Jan 01, 09:27
Time for RS to update its model. They are consistent losers. {nm} Jan 01, 09:38
Can you believe they are a business? Makes me think I should start my own movie tracking company. {nm} Jan 01, 09:54
i dont think they make much money off it. it supplements their main business (they are a theater chain) {nm} Jan 01, 12:35
Then I hope they don't rely on it when deciding how many theatres should show the new releases :) {nm} Jan 01, 14:44
Yeah, I'm just being snarky. Thanks for the info. {nm} Jan 01, 16:21
So here is the answer to JDolphin's question about how prediction sites performed with blockbusters: Jan 01, 09:52
Wow - thanks a lot for all that work!! Happy New Year! {nm} Jan 01, 13:20
How did I do overall at BOF for 2011? think somewhere in the 73-75% range? {nm} Jan 01, 10:05
I'm away from my computer at the moment, but for Jan to May 2012 you were at 77%, second to EW Jan 01, 10:54
thx for putting all that together {nm} Jan 01, 10:24
Just wondering, for those in the know. How do these prediction companies make money from their predictions? Jan 01, 14:01
I wouldn't say I am in the know, but movie studios and theatre companies would be the main customers Jan 01, 14:43
to be clear - most "tracking" companies do not predict box office, they measure marketing. {nm} Jan 01, 14:45
