6/13.

I suppose it helps that I read The Economist until recently.

I got 8. Most of my answers were educated guesses.

Lame.

Even though I got 8 right, most of these questions have little, to nothing, to do with actual movies, and are more about societal impacts, industry, trends and personality's private lives that have no bearing on actual film.

I mean, Leaders of The Philippines dressed as movie characters? Harry Potter in Caledonia?

I just want to punch whoever came up with these questions, not because they're difficult or obscure, but because it's just NOT a film quiz as stated.

6 correct. Amazingly I missed the first seven questions and got the last six right. Hooray for weird distributions!

Spoiler:
I got it right, but it did make me pause and wonder whether Snow White had sold over two million copies (it said millions not million). How many copies has it sold, and what do they define as "quickly"?

Yep, that was my exact reasoning as well, I didn't think they would allow an answer to be that subjective.

I got 8 out of 13. Just a damn good guesser.

I got 6/13. Which is better than I expected.

5 mostly all guesses.

Seems obvious now but I just cruised right past that answer and picked the more entertaining one:
"Have been criticised for their lack of morality by Islamic film reviewers"

Guessed on most and got 3/13, and I missed the Oscars question for the same reason as already stated in spoilers.

That was not a movie quiz.

5/13

I think I got the same 5 right that every one else did.
