RESULTS OF BATTLE ROYALE IV - CHALLENGE #2
I welcome both teams -
The Zombie Titans and
The Blazing Hellspawns to your
SECOND Battle Royale IV Results Meeting.
First of all, the
CORRECT answers :-
Alien 3 - 22nd-May-1992
Aliens - 18th-July-1986
Drag Me To Hell - 29th-May-2009
Ghost Busters - 08th-June-1984

The Amityville Horror - 27th-July-1979
The Omen - 25th-June-1976
The Shining - 23rd-May-1980
The Thing - 25th-June-1982
And, just for the information for all those confusing all the above films as summer blockbusters:-
The
Box Office Duds were
Alien 3,
Prometheus, and
Splice, which have yet to recover their entire production budget.
The
Average/Decent performers were
Drag Me To Hell,
Godzilla,
The Amityville Horror and
The Thing.
Rest of the films were Hits, some moderate, and some went on to become Blockbusters in their own right, like
Jaws,
Jurassic Park,
Gremlins, etc.
COMMON LINK - I got a variety of answers for this, and obviously those who sent in "summer blockbusters", "all summer blockbusters", "all summer BO earners" lost the Bonus Prize. One word added to that phrase could have earned you the Prize, if you had added "potential" in front, or "line-up" at the rear. Sorry, fellows.
I accepted "summer releases", "potential summer blockbusters", "summer blockbuster lineup following Jaws (which was the first blockbuster)", etc. Best and exact answer to the Common Link came from
Hellspawn ZERO and
Hellspawn WEAPON X. Congrats to both of you!
I have tallied up your FINAL scores, and they are as follows...
