12/12 7000 (I think the questions have a good degree of difficulty this weekend.

 

Question 13:  Another all or nothing question, but with a twist.

 

Here are four questions.  If you go for these four questions, and you get them all correct, not only will you score 25,000 points, but you will have the opportunity at ANY POINT IN THE GAME BEFORE AUGUST 1ST, to challenge any two players to four of these very questions.  If they get your questions right, they will receive a 30,000 point bonus, if they do not, they will lose 20,000.  The reason they will receive such a high score for being correct is that the pressure is on them.  Now, keep in mind, you NEVER have to use this bonus.  It is not mandatory.  But it will be there if you choose to use it,.  All contingent of course on you getting all four questions right this weekend.  And of course, if you are correct and at some point of the game you choose to challenge someone, all questions must be in the spirit of the game and they MUST BE APPROVED BY ME.  If you are unclear on any of this please let me know.

 

Now of course, if you do not get all four questions right, you lose 20,000....all or nothing.

 

1) Will Home increase more than 71.3% on Saturday?  YES

2) Will any of the top three films on Thursday, fall less than 10%?  YES

3) Will Avengers have a Friday increase of more than 100%?  YES

4) Will Mad Max have a Saturday increase of more than 25%?  YES

 

Bonus 1:  What finishes in spots:

 

6 HOT PURSUIT

8 PAUL BLART: MALL COP 2

9 THE AGE OF ADELINE

12 EX MACHINA

Bonus 3:  What will Age of Adaline make on Saturday?  5000 0.931M

[SOTM 3 Biggest Fubar Question of all time....PART 2 (deadline Thurs May 28th 11:59PM)]

Between Friday June 29th and the July 4th weekend, I have chosen 9 films that will qualify for this SOTM question.

 

 

Aloha

San Andreas

Entourage

Insidious 3

Spy

Dope 

Inside Out

Magic Mike 2

Terminator Genisys

 

You have 8 possible SOTM questions to choose from.

 

Your choices are:

 

What will have the best OW (this will include any 5 day openings)? Inside Out

What will have the best total? Inside out 

What will have the best opening day?

What will have the best midnight/early shows from the day before the official release?

What will have the best legs (multiplier...note, multiplier will count from a three day OW only)?

What will have the smallest opening weekend? Dope

What will have the smallest opening day? Dope

Name at least two films that will make more than 150 mill (if you do not think there will be two, that can be your answer as well)

 

Points:

 

Get any question right, win 7,000 points

Get any question wrong, lose 15,000 points

 

You are allowed to go for a maximum of four questions. 

If you answer all four questions correctly, you get a bonus of 5000 points so the maximum you can earn for this question is 33,000 points.

 

Of course, you can go for all 8 but if you do, you must get at least 7 of the 8 correct. You have a window of one wrong. If you get 7 or 8 right, you will obviously get a massive amount of points (49,000-56,000 points). If you go for all 8 and you do not get at least 7 of the 8 correct, you will lose the same amount of points as the maximum win, yes, 56,000 points. 

 

If you want to abstain from answering this question, you get 2000 points.

 

I'm making the deadline Thursday May 28th at 11:59PM. 

 

You have a lot of time to work on this one. There are a lot of points for or against. Choose wisely.
