Fixed.

BOTM 2 is due in less than 6 hours.

It's a mandatory question...if you do not answer it you lose 25,000 points.

I think I have a good idea of what it should be...but will potc sustain this late surge...or will underoos or leavy fuck us all?

[Plain Old Tele]

I've done my calculations and they are brilliant.

In the future could you please set the deadline for these questions to Thursday night, the same as everything else?

You know I do every single time. The only reason this was set to the deadline that it is is because it was a multiplier question. If I set it until Thursday it would be much too easy to figure out and therefore not a challenge.

What do you guys think of an "Off-Season" version of the Summer/Winter game?

 

In essence, it'd be twice a year, and only go for the months of September/October and March/April.

 

The pre-seasons would be significantly shorter.  You'd give your top 7 DOM, top 3 OW, and top 5 WW, plus 5 pre-season questions.

 

The weeklies would consist of 5 questions (one where you pick where three movies would rank, guess a weekend gross, etc)

 

Then there'd only be 3 SOTM questions.

 

The idea would be to give an outlet to predict some big off-season movies, but also be significantly reduced and "low-budget" version of the Summer/Winter game.

I've thought of this in the past and think it'd be a cool thing.

[Jake Gittes]

I always thought we'd eventually reach a point where we'd just play this thing all year round.

I like that Idea, and we are looking to have an exceptionally strong September and October this year with It, Ninjago, Kingsman 2, Blade Runner 2, and Mother! having shots at $100m+ 

[narniadis]

Well, I am feeling a little better about Pirates now that I wont lose points on it... However I think I will on Wonder Woman which is shocking since I was one of the higher predictors. So it ends up washing in the end.

 

I am dumbfounded at how poorly I have done this summer - and my time being crazy hasn't helped since I keep missing weekends.

[Plain Old Tele]

I went 338 on WW and I'm going to lose points.

I felt good about being one of the few people to predict 300m+ for WW, but it still wasn't enough.  

 

Also, franfar's going to be the sole person(?) in the summer game to get the number one slot right.

 

I thought WW getting #1 was possible but not likely so I went with the "safe" choice.  I should have realized that every summer the "safe" #1 choice never ends up being #1, I think Finding Dory is the only time besides Iron Man 3 I've picked the right movie.

If WW manages to hit #1, I think there are four or five of us who predicted it: franfar, grim, Chewy, me... and maybe someone else?

[That One Girl]

My original 320M prediction is beginning to look pessimistic.

I think year round game takes the fun out of summer and winter games.  I vote keep it the way it is.
