It was also the first landslide of the game  Embarrassed (people who bet early split evenly from when I looked Tuesday eve but by deadline time, it was all Allied once more forecasts came in.)

I'd expected Allied to under perform but thought Santa might come in on target.

Surprisingly, more people have actually played this week's SD than last week's and there's still 90 minutes til the deadline.

These were the three options I was toying with:

Befikre (-1) v La La Land
Nocturnal Animals (-1) v La La Land
Miss Sloan (-2) v La La Land)

How would people have gone on the other 2?

Nocturnal Creatures would have been tough but I don't think Miss Sloan even gets to 2 so in my mind that one is easy.

Thought the same. I figured La La Land was a known quantity - 4-600k at 5 theaters (Moonlight had the PTA record for the year with 100k per). I figured the Befikre was a big wild card so that would make for the most interesting showdown... if it performs well, there's gonna be a lot of unhappy campers.

Including me.  I said it is an evil showdown.  Befikre is definitely a wildcard.  It has a wide range on what it can gross this weekend.  I ended up flipping a coin and hoping it would land on edge.  It didn't so I went with La La Land.

With Nocturnal Creatures you could have worked some numbers based off of past weekends and theater counts and made a reasonable educated guess.  Befikre is a complete guess in the dark.

I didn't bet the showdown this week.  Too tricky!

Damn, I'm going to lose my first Showdown. I knew Beauty would bomb, but had too much faith in Rogue.
