Box Office Classic – Quarterfinals
—
in ThunderdomeIt is the final week of the Classic, and for at least half the quarterfinals, it was really hard to choose who were the winners. The winners of the Baggins and Toretto regions were not really hard to pick. I get Frozen is really popular, but Winter Soldier is such a great movie. Same with…

Concession Wars – Round 2
—
in ThunderdomeAfter the Popcorn Round 1, it’s time to talk about the Drinks. AMC doesn’t have a lot of options. They did the most machines at least. Prices were also high here.

Box Office Classic – The Bracket
—
in ThunderdomeThe bracket for the Inaugural Classic is good to go! The 4 regions are named after four people they meant a lot these four years.

Intro to the Box Office Classic
—
in ThunderdomeIt’s Tournament season. While I am watching basketball and getting ready to fill out my bracket on Monday for the Madness, I had an idea. What if I made my own tournament, but instead of sports, I use films. So I started working and decided to go with 10 years ago. Then, I went with…

Concession Wars – Round 1

All four theaters we are looking at have options obviously, but that won’t be the case every round. AMC has the largest starting price of the 4, and also the fewest size options. You would think that would easily…
